why don't you guys stop too from acting like jaeyoung is a helpless little victim being micromanaged by a tyrant
infantilization strips someone of agency and accountability, meanwhile no one (at least not the comments i agree with) is saying sangwoo should get away for his behaviors
calling any attempt to extend patience towards this kind of character "babying" is interesting bcs it assumes that the only alternative to harshness is condescension. thats such a false binary. you can hold someone accountable while still acknowledging that their cognition, social processing, and emotional interpretation work differently
sangwoo's need for control is unhealthy. yes. it causes strain. yes. it requires compromise. absolutely. but "he needs to learn" and "stop babying autistic people" are not mutually exclusive with "give him grace while he learns"
if anything, the more infantilizing stance is that pretending that neurodivergent people should instantly perform neurotypical emotional fluency or else be labeled toxic
and honestly, the insistence that any empathy towards sangwoo equals "my wittle autistic baby" says more about how some people conflate compassion with condescension than it does about the people asking for nuance
Not even gonna reply to the comment ur referencing??? Damn, kids these days. There's multiple comments calling Sangwoo their "autistic baby" and "autistic king." There's a line between giving a character grace to learn and going "noooo stop hating he's just on the spectrum he's doing nothing wrong," which is an actual problem reflective of how neurodivergent individuals, like myself, are treated in real life. This is genuine infantilism, just like how you've defined it, removing accountability based on disability as if they were a child.
And Jaeyoung can help teach compromise by putting on his big boy panties and communicating how this controlling behavior is making him feel. Cause it's making him feel like shit, and harm is what ultimately decides if a behavior is toxic or not. Jaeyoung pissing me tf off with his rose-colored glasses
