Page 4 is here, guys. Sorry it took so long. College makes it hard to get on a good schedule. Fortunately, this is my last year.
We all need an Amir in our lives.
Like I said, the baby, Chantal, is from the episode Freak Strike, in which her mother brings her onto Maury Povich's "My Child's Out of Control" show. Others have pointed out that since Chantal is just a baby, it's possible that Joline, the mother, was just looking for attention. This led to me thinking, "What if Joline does this regularly? Maybe she frequently puts either herself or Chantal on these kinds of shows for attention and money. Why not? South Park is full of lunatics". I'm definitely thinking of having Joline's Adult Baby documentary recording come back later.
We tend to underestimate how our words affect others. It's easier to look at something like this and think, "Only the craziest people imaginable would do that!" than it is to consider the possibility that someone near you might be affiliated with it. I've been in Amir's place. I've been questioning if I'm nonbinary lately, while also having to listen to my family's remarks about how people who identify outside the gender binary are "being stupid". I've also, as someone who doesn't want to have kids, had to listen to my dad say things like, "You went rock-climbing every weekend, but now you have no one to take care of you!". Keep that up, Pops, and you'll have one less person to take care of you when YOU'RE too old!
It's even worse when people know you're part of the group they're insulting yet don't seem to care. I've dealt with ableism and acephobia both from online strangers and from my own family. The same dad from before has hinted multiple times that he's waiting for me to be ready to find a boyfriend and snapped at me for stimming, saying it's a sign of autism he wants me to "grow out of".
For what it's worth, I think this kind of attitude has led to my internalized ableism and unwanted hateful thoughts about people more severely autistic than me, or anyone I sense is on the spectrum, really. People can be prejudiced towards groups they're part of. Maybe Shelley senses this side of herself but is in denial of it. You can bet that as the older child, she's expected to be more responsible and set a good example for her little brother. Plus, no one starts off willing to admit that they're into something like this. She says what she thinks Amir would agree with.
Well, I'm done venting. See you all around.
