The "I'm a Surgeon Dr Han" meme bothers me
So I just looked up the source of this meme and apparently the main character who's having a meltdown in that scene is autistic. I saw a tweet saying people are siding with Dr Han because the autistic surgeon is transphobic in a scene but, apparently the transphobic surgeon gets better after being educated but people still condemn him even though Dr Han is an ableist. But people only care about one side of this odd intersection problem and worship this Dr Han character. I saw a reply to a tweet saying people are siding with Dr Han because the autistic main character is transphobic by saying "Actually I'm siding with Dr Han because the surgeon is acting like a freakazoid" and noone in the replies said "you just called an autistic character a freakazoid".
As someone who's dealt with an ableist boss at work before and ended up partially hospitalized over it it bothers me that noone cares about that angle of it. Of course in my case I wasnt being a bigot to people or anything so I guess thats different. And the idea that an autistic person would naturally react to trans people with transphobia is bad ableist writing in its own right so the writers should be condemned for that. But still the whole situation just bothers me.
