Please chalk this tweet up to Ana being to autistic to enjoy jokes, but watching women describe Data from Star Trek as a perfect spouse/lover because they don't have to treat him like a real person is kinda upsetting. 🤔
"He has an off switch" isn't really very funny if you know he finds being turned off against his will very traumatizing and only trusts that knowledge to people he knows won't abuse it!

"He can be reprogrammed" is just- are you- do you want a person or a dildo? Get a nice dildo.
Data is very special to Kissmate and I as the closest thing to autistic acearo trans boy rep we've gotten in a long time, and it's unsettling seeing women Pulaski at him and treat him like he's not a person.
I know a lot of us, self included, have been abused by terrible men but the answer isn't "what if I could find a vulnerable man to abuse in turn", that just perpetuates abuse.

Anyway, Data is a fictional character and it's all a joke but it's unsettling to me. 🤔
*"too autistic", not "to autistic"
