i see a lot more ppl arguing that it couldn't possibly be racism bc it's obv mental illness when it could both but no one seems to get that hate crimes can be committed by ppl who are more or less of sound mind

talk to her. explain you observed some behaviours that concern you and maybe seeing a pediatrician might benefit her son.

unless you have the ability to give a diagnose stay away from suggesting the son is on autistic spectrum because it might put her on the defensive.

i understand. i mentioned something earlier to her and she doesn't want him to get a diagnosis or see anyone until he's an adult.

i was trying to figure out the way to tell her the second way, but yeah it wasn't working lol. fwiw, i'm seeking dx and my bf is autistic, and he sees it.

yeah what happened

I don’t think a lot of younger Tumblr users understand what life during the anime boom was like in 1999-2007. How accessible anime was at the time. It was fucking everywhere. It wasn’t even a niche, literally everyone was into it.

Like, Cartoon Network showed stuff like YuYu Hakusho, .hack//sign, Gundam Wing, Outlaw Star, Tenchi Muyo, and Rurouni Kenshin every weekday after school on their Toonami block.

I remember rushing home after school in second grade to watch Rurouni Kenshin. That was 7 year old me’s favorite show.

You think Pokemon is popular now? HA! In the late 90′s, it was every parent’s worst nightmare. It was on the cover of Time Magazine for fucks’s sake. EVERY kid was obsessed with it. No exceptions. At least, until Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh came around…

You could wake up on Saturday mornings and watch highly Americanized butchered versions of Shaman King, Tokyo Mew Mew (”Mew Mew Power”), and most infamously, One Piece thanks to 4kids.

An anime getting an extremely butchered Americanized dub was a very real, legitimate threat that could happen to any show.

Staying up late enough to watch Inuyasha was considered a rite of passage.

Teenage girls flocked to Barnes and Noble to read entire volumes of Fruits Basket and Fushigi Yuugi in the store without paying for them.

All of the kids cartoons tried to cash in on the craze. I’m sure everyone remembers Avatar and Teen Titans, but trust me when I say that you DON’T want to remember Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi and Kappa Mikey.

Hayao Miyazaki won an Academy Award.

Final Fantasy VII was considered the greatest video game ever made.

Some people still called it “Japanimation”.

So many fucking magazines. Off the top of my head: Animerica, Shonen Jump, Shojo Beat, Newtype USA (the best one by far), Anime Insider, Beckett Anime, and Beckett Anime For Girls (The most cringeworthy one. Of course I had every issue!)

Anime was freaking everywhere. The entire country was in its weeb phase. Some people on this website are too young to even remember this.

it wasnt everywhere outside a few franchises that were marketed to children while changing every reference to japan lol

a lot of non-children shows were impossible to find unless you wanted to buy bootlegged VHS tapes with bad dubbing and/or subs

it got better when dvds were a thing at least

like ppl who send themselves rood asks, so their followers run to their defense

nona anything u can do to get this kid to a specialist is super important. he's reaching the age where early intervention stops working. frame it as help for sensory problems (or w/e he has issues with) if u have to but do everything u can to get this kid to a specialist

if her personal experiences have set up to be resistant towards the industry and she does not want to acknowledge that early intervention and support gives him a better start at life, there is only so much you can do.

i read above he is 8, so i would imagine teachers may have observed these behaviours too. i suppose you could go around her back and talk to the school and let them instigate discussing this more with her so he receives the support he needs.

itt most bizarre rpf crossovers u've ever seen in an otherwise non-rpf fandom

a danny phantom fic where freddie mercury's ghost was a major character

more recently, a batman fic that was fine @ first but then had a sudden chapter out of nowhere where george clooney tells bruce wayne he knows he's was batman and would keep his secret for him (w/ a cameo by scarjo b/c y not igss)
