big "neurotypical adult telling an autistic child to use their indoor voice" energy comin' offa this take. https://twitter.com/SquigglyDigg/status/1246984685567143942

I talked about this a bit when I livetweeted Lilo & Stitch the other night (shameless plug) but the fact that Lilo has crazy bursts of anger is a huge part of WHY she's such a great character. https://twitter.com/efvdpodcast/status/1248464572576497664

They don't water her down. A lesser movie would've just painted Lilo as a precocious, cutesy kid with no real flaws except maybe clumsiness.

Lilo, meanwhile, straight-up bites a bitch. She's not just nice and precocious and superficially weird. She's fuckin' TROUBLED.

And as a troubled kid with anger issues myself, I could relate like crazy.

So she's a "bad role model." So fuckin' what? Maybe it's not always on the media we consume to be 100% non-problematic, because that'd be boring. Maybe sometimes we just gotta let stories be stories.

I mean...check out THIS thread. It checks the fuck out. https://twitter.com/steve_asbell/status/1248401563900465153
