characters have to be a little bit awful in ways that you cant defend. its good for the ecosystem. your honor he did do that. He did in fact do that
is THIS your man? [shows an image of a malnourished injured exhausted man with big sad eyes looking up at the camera with blood smeared all over his face and mouth. and he is visibly trembling]
godddd for the last time. a strong sense of justice in autistic people is not always a positive trait. its just a trait. a strong sense of justice does not mean that you are the most objective source on morality, it means you can’t let go of what you believe is right or should be done. autistic people aren’t morally superior or more socially intelligent than allistic people, you guys have GOT to stop acting like its progressive to decide a certain neurotype is the one everyone should default to.
a strong sense of justice can mean anything from unwilling to betray your moral code to harassing people for thinking differently because you believe you’re so right the other person HAS to understand. it can mean not giving up on what you believe in and it can mean believing something horrible and yet being unwilling to hear why youre wrong. ive had to call in sick because i heard a group of people disagreed with me on an issue i cared about because i couldnt process the fact that i was wrong and if i was put in any confrontational situation i would not be able to do anything but defend myself even knowing i was sort of wrong.
a strong sense of justice is not an exclusively positive trait. almost nothing is. everything is complex and nuanced.

'he's a serial killer he's gonna serial kill you' what if i adopt him instead. can't jeff the kill me if you're jeff the grounded.
the aro/ace experience of going 'but am i actually aro/ace?' and then seeing an allo and being like 'oh. okay. yeah i am. what the fuck'
i could be the most incompetent attack dog youve ever seen
this is how y'all talk about your blorbos here
But if your favorite character isn't on the floor panting and dying and in horrible pain in a terrible situation then what's even the point
