Brave.

Also, every critic is now a mean person.

Interesting PR.

[mansoor1980]

yes you will

 

[lmimmfn]

Uggh

 

[funking giblet]

Most of you lads have autism, it's ok.

 

[Arsic]

Shouldn’t this be in off topic not gaming?

Also is she sure she isn’t retarded?

 

[Schmendrick]

Sorry you must`ve mixed up this "gaming discussion" board with your facebook news feed......

 

[San Dan Glokta]

Autism is a mental defect. Although we shouldn't be cruel to these people just because of their disease, it is not something to be celebrated. This girl is surrounded by horrible enablers.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Hey, if it's good enough for Druckman it's good enough for me.

"Why are you such a retard?"

_intense thinking begins_

I do not believe you are a real Doctor.

I don't believe she is celebrating that she has it. I believe she is celebrating that it was diagnosed and now she knows why she has felt weird. I think she has done alright for herself.

 

[ReBurn]

Have they diagnosed the fetal alcohol syndrome yet?

 

[MiguelItUp]

This is less about "The Last of Us" and more about the actress and her autism. I don't know if it belongs here....

 

[Rush2112]

I’m celebrating my hemorrhoids, everyone. Congrats to me!

 

[Kilau]

Now it’s gaming!

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

More like she's down syndrome/retarded. Cause autistic folks still looks normal.

That's more or less how it actually sounds if you read between the lines, yes.

Too late. Lost battle.
These days everyone loves to self-diagnose (and then flaunt around) stuff like autism, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive behavior, social anxiety, dysphoria, "asexuality" and what else.
People have decided that what have always been obvious undesirable traits across the entirety of human history, characteristics that at time can make you a borderline dysfunctional individual, are now going to count as bragging rights and oppression points for the internet.

And that's why I will insist until the end of my days that no one should ever feel ashamed to use "ableist language". Someone has to remember people what normality is supposed to be like.
If you are an unlucky one, tough luck for your present and best luck for your future, but fuck if I'm ever going to pretend some of your conditions are desirable or should be considered the new normal.

Turning mental or physical illness (ADHD, obesity) into social identity groups is one of the most despicable things. Straight up evil.

I too was recently diagnosed with autism, so everyone will have to excuse my now more frequent sexist and racist outbursts.

 

[taizuke]

Might explain why she's none-binary as well.

 

[semiconscious]

you can't tell the autism from the aspergers without a scorecard professional diagnosis...

 

[Spitfire098]

Creating this thread is something only a well adjusted individual will do. Definitely not autistic or on the spectrum type of behavior.

 

[Gp1]

Ot: First comment never disappoint
"RDJ could've play both Iron Man and War Machine"

I know you is but what is is?

 

[The Chairman]

What a surprise, she looked normal to me.

Photoshopped.


Pedro isn't that small.

 

[Blank Space Invader]

Um, who gives a shite? What a pussified world we've become when we "celebrate" everyone's "challenges." Feed a family of four on barely a livable wage while putting your ass in the wind to do so and raise some good human beings, then we can talk. Until then, fuck off with rich people who play make believe and then bemoan their struggles and challenges in their little circle jerk echo chambers of privilege.

 

[Ashamam]

Well this topic brought out the best of Neo /s.

I'll just assume the best, ignorance, and not malicious intent.

 

[Crub]

At no point did the article state that she celebrated her condition... She just said that receiving the diagnosis was a relief to her, which is a perfectly normal reaction.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

what gender is that?

I was shooting for ignorance and malice, thank you very much.

 

[TGO]

Autism is nothing to be celebrated and at the same time there are so many levels of autism that can go undetectable and mistakenly diagnosed.
Sadly people look at those conditions these days like a bingo card.

What a surprise, she looked normal to me.

I raise you

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Autistic and yet hasn’t even rescued any astronauts. What a failure of a human.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Amen but this isn't even the worst and most evil of it when more wicked and insane things are/were being normalized last year and before like demonic looking drag queens that look like demons being around kids and abominations that think people have to accept them just because they want to chop off their own dong or think they're a different gender etc.

 

[Neff]

I don't even know what autism or neurodivergent means anymore. Everyone I know is a fucking nut.

 

[lughnasadh123]

I had severe anxiety and the wonderful social isolation that came from it long before it became cool. Do I win anything?

Actually I'm happy for those now who do suffer afforded some understanding that didn't exist before back when the solution was told to just fucking snap out of it. Dealing with this shit is hard enough without trying to also hide it from the world.

 

[AJUMP23]

Also is she sure she isn’t retarded?

We already knew that she said she was nonbinary.

 

[Nonehxc]

I’m celebrating my hemorrhoids, everyone. Congrats to me!

Who the fuck cares about your ass veins.

Please suffer them in silence, as it is tradition.

 

[ZehDon]

As someone who is autistic, the correct word is "commiserate". The only people I know who "celebrate" it self-label as "neurodivergent" because they took a Facebook quiz that said they may be autistic and think enjoying a tidy home demonstrates OCD.

 

[Lionel Richie]

We already knew that she said she was nonbinary.

Are we sure she isn't black? She could be coming for the whole gauntlet!

 

[UnravelKatharsis]

Bella, you're nine hundred ninety nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine in a million.

Bella Ramsey was likely transed by the Trans activists from Naughty Dog and Pedro Pascal while filming The Last of Us.

Pedro Pascal is a Trans activist. One of his brothers is a trans identifying man.

Both Ramsey and Pedro Pascal are used by Apple for advertisements.

Bella Ramsey wore a chest binder while filming The Last of Us to focus better on set

Bella said she wore a chest binder for "90 per cent" of filming on The Last of Us, "which probably isn’t healthy, like please bind safely"

www.capitalfm.com

"Bella added that they also often shared conversations around gender and sexuality, as Pedro's sister, Lux Pascal, is trans."

This.
I get that a lot of folks already don't like her due to her being miscast as Ellie, but this thread is bait.
