Benedict Cumberbatch has publicly stated that he thinks people viewing protagonists in media like Sherlock Holmes as autistic is ‘dangerous’ & ‘lazy’ because it ‘offers false hope’ that autistic people could be ‘brilliant’ or heroic…
so yeah i’m gonna give a pass on his superhero movie, because he doesn’t think people like me deserve heroes, or that we could ever be them.
THAT’S NOT WHAT HE FUCKING MEANS BY THAT YOU IDIOTS!!!!
Does anyone know the movie “Rainman”? Dustin Hoffman plays a severely autistic individual who is a savant at number patterns. Because of this movie, people got the false idea that all autistics had some sort of “trick” some sort of super ability. THIS IS NOT THE CASE AT ALL.
It also doesn’t help that anytime an autistic person is featured in the news positively is because their parent wrote a book or they have a savant ability. However, a savant ability has possibility to occur in like 1% of all autism cases.
So, when Benedict says that seeing his characters as autistic is “dangerous and lazy” and it “offers false hope”, what he means is that people seeing these brilliant, quirky, yet functioning characters as autistic severely skews their view of actual autistic people, so much so to the point where they want to know an autistic person’s “trick” upon meeting them and then proceed to be obviously disappointed when they don’t have one. It makes them think that “well this character has a few quirks but he’s still a functioning member of society why can’t this autistic person just get over it and be one themselves?”
I had a new math teacher my sophomore year in high school. During the first parent-teacher meetings of the year my parents went to explain to all my new teachers that I was autistic and would have trouble grasping some concepts and lessons. This math teacher sat there and listened to their whole shpeal, and when they finished she said, and I quote- “Oh, okay, by the way, what’s her trick? She hasn’t been doing too well with the geometry, is it something else?”
So congratulations, assholes. You’re trying to shame a famous person for wanting autistic people to be seen as actual people. Good fucking job.
And I do not appreciate you killing my men. Also, when I sent my men to kill your men for killing my men, you killed more of my men. Not cool. Not fucking cool.
Definitely using this as my lock screen pic. I goddamn love Negan.

This picture you showed is the Portrait of a Moorish Woman painted by Paolo Veronese, you turd sandwich.
In Shakespearian time describing someone as “dark” meant someone with dark hair or Mediterranean features. Amelia Bassano (also known as Emilia Lanier) got indeed published (check her collection of poetry Hail, God, King of the Jews) . She was born to a Venice musician Baptista Bassano and Margaret Johnson in 1569 and from what we know, was Jewish. No sources describe her as black or African.
Stop spreading bullshit for your racist propaganda.
