debunking the autistic terrorist myth heroinefreak 2021-11-10 | this narrative is myth-takenI have never made a more literal autistic edit than when saying ‘reading this document’ with footage of Vision reading a document, it was a choice and im standing by itAlso if you spot the flaw in the quote about autism, violence, victimization and perpetration -no you don’t-00:00 intro03:49 does being autistic make you more likely to perpetuate bigoted violence?13:01 men and terrorism17:48 autism and violence?26:35 autism and empathy (aka the f***ing dreaded empathy question)32:01 performative empathy (and the demonization of neurodivergence)41:07 conclusionFor more information, particularly on mass shootings, I would really recommend looking into the work by The Violence Project, all the stats are there and it's really easy to follow and extremely telling (most mass shootings happen at work, usually by people who have just been fired, something I didn't know but is the most unsurprising thing in the world)theviolenceproject.orgI would also like to take this moment to really emphasise that people should look into Phillip Nicholson's case. It's extremely representative of a lot of issues autistic people face taken to it's most extreme (which is still common even in it's most extreme form), but also; he deserved to be here and happy, and it's so unfair he's not, and more people should know his name.Thank you so much Mila Wrenyoutube.com/c/MilaWrenPonderfulyoutube.com/c/PonderfulYTEmileigh With a Gyoutube.com/c/EmileighWithaGand Questing Refuge!youtube.com/c/QuestingRefugeBooks;The Violence Project: How to Stop a Mass Shooting EpidemicConflict is Not AbuseWhy Won’t You Apologise?Asperger’s Children: The Origins of Autism in Nazi ViennaEssays/Papers/Statistics;Empirical Failures of the Claim That Autistic People Lack a Theory of Mindncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6959478Dissociating Empathy From Perspective-Taking: Evidence From Intra- and Inter-Individual Differences Researchfrontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2019.00126/fullWhat is the threat to the UK today?terrorismlegislationreviewer.independent.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/July-2021-What-is-the-threat-to-the-UK-today.pdfTerrorism in Great Britain: the Statisticsresearchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-7613/CBP-7613.pdfThe Empathy Imbalance Hypothesis of Autism: A Theoretical Approach to Cognitive and Emotional Empathy in Autistic Developmenthttp://cogprints.org/6799/1/TPRVol59No3-SMITH.pdfThe Double Empathy Problemautism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/professional-practice/double-empathyVictimization and Perpetration Experiences of Adults With Autismncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5980973Websites/Articles;The 'QAnon Shaman's' lawyer blames autism for his client's Jan. 6 actions.

Jumanji 1995, Christmas & masculinity heroinefreak 2021-01-02 | Here’s a video no one asked for touching on Christmas, masculinity, capitalist realism, scarcity culture and a segment where I get very overly sincere about Robin Williams & I’m still anxious about it but if there’s anyone who is worth being sincere about it’s Robin Williams.I come at many of the things in this video from a very cisnormative position, I wish I'd mentioned this in the video but obviously when discussing something like masculinity some generalizations will be made that will miss the nuances of other identities too (if you're trans masc, a man of colour, disabled, etc etc).All material used here is used under Copyright Disclaimer under Section 107 of the copyright act 1976, allowance is made for fair use for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, scholarship, and research.

unsung heroes like Tara Maclay heroinefreak 2020-10-18 | Here's a mediation on the power (magic, if you will!) of empathy, the unhelpfulness of shaming, with some general Buffy rants thrown in for good measure.Tara stans rise up! Also if I speak it to the Universe then Amber Benson and Anthony Head will definitely collab on a folk album at some point, that's how manifestation works right?I made this because I think there's a lot we can learn from Tara, but also because I feel like the only times I ever see her talked about on YT it's always in relation to the Bury Your Gays trope which is valid because, she's one of the blueprints unfortunately! But she's a character that's meant a lot to me and I wanted to make something that acknowledged EVERYTHING her character represented, not just her death. Also I've seen the image of her when she's just been shot with the gunshot wound in her chest wayyy too many times so I just wanted an excuse to contribute some nice if somewhat extra imagery in the thumbnail!Music;Past Sadness - Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0The fancy old-timey-style backdrop I downloaded for the 'YouTube reaction channel recreation' I got from CopyCatFilms online, credit to Farrin N.

How We Fail Manic Pixie Dream Girls heroinefreak 2020-04-04 | #JusticeForClaireSmash that like button using your recently disinfected mouse with meticulously clean hands please.(and keep as safe and well as possible because I know things are scary but it really is all going to be OK!)Anyway to distract myself from... *gestures to everything*, I talk about the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope, it's history, and how it both erases and stigmatizes neurodivergent gals who are just being their neurodivergent selves, which according to many who attempt to critique this trope is the worst thing about it.Song Used:Wholesome Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0Copyright Disclaimer!In section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976Allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, etc. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing.
