There's a reality tv show about autistic people dating. It shows commentary from family and shows the contestants interacting with each other.
It makes me extremely uncomfortable to listen to the show from the other room. It's like these people are being used as entertainment to everyone watching. This doesn't sit well with me. The people are a bit quirky and say things you and I might find quirky or unconventional.
It's the equivalent of watching people with Down's syndrome interact with each other and laughing at them. Is this really any different?
I may have an in appropriate sense of humor 99% of the time yet this seems wrong.
Imagine two napoleon dynamites in a social setting. Awkward and uncomfortable.
Corky's date night? I don't know. That's wrong too.
