As someone who really likes Harold and Ezekiel the day that this fandom stops infantilizing autistic coded boys and demonizing autistic coded girls is the day I will rest.

I will defend zeke with my life I believe he can be a good person (emphasis on CAN he is not a good person in the show and was not meant to be seen as a good person) but the infantilisation of him is atrocious sometimes, almost going so far as to use his autistic traits to deny the sexism (which even if he was parroting what his father said he still SAID it and BELIEVED it guys) not only that but he’s generally pretty rude throughout his few appearances (ignoring Bridgette’s boundaries during tddddi interrupting Chris on multiple occasions during world tour, and just generally being quite standoffish) I understand that most of these things come from his social ineptitude but that is an explanation not an excuse and people have to realize he is kind of a massive douche.

Meanwhile people will consistently call characters like Beth and Millie “annoying pick mes” while seemingly not realizing that most of their annoying traits are ones common in autistic people (correct me if I’m wrong about Millie I haven’t gotten the chance to see the reboot) as the both of them also show difficulty with understanding the intricacies of social interactions even Beth’s label as “the wannabe” could be her imitating people she sees as “cool” to try and boost her social standing, a very common form of masking in autistic people.

Tl;dr don’t go defending the shit out of Ezekiel and then turning around to call Beth annoying that’s icky. (Not too dissimilar from the real world though. Yippie /s)

(Apologies for sending in 2 big rants in one day but school has been so slow and I’ve had far too much free time on my hands)

Millie total drama

My girl. Millie has done nothing wrong ever, your honour she was trying her best and that's all that matters.

Especially in season two; Millie's only folly was being morally blinded by her desire to win, which (quite frankly) so many other characters in the series have followed that same fate without being as punished by the narrative as Millie was.

She showed remorse for her momentary lack of judgement there, and yet all she got for trying to be a decent person and apologise was an early elimination. I was so looking forward to seeing Millie stand on her own two feet as an individual character instead of just "Priya's friend".

And the stereotype she's based on? The whole discount-psychologist schtick she's got going on could be so fun to explore, especially since the cast she's a part of is filled to the brim with unconventional characters that anyone with even a passing interest in psychology/sociology would be itching to dissect. And yet she barely has any interactions with them along these lines; the most we get is her notes on Priya's terrible home life, which is a valid concern for anyone to have.

It just seems like such a waste to establish her character archetype in her audition video and the do near-enough nothing with it. She could've been so much more than Priya's satellite.

But I think the main thing that draws me to Millie is how she is, at her core, a well intentioned and empathetic character- and how these work as character flaws instead of positive traits.

Her strong sense of empathy makes her painfully mindful of how the people around her percieve her, so she's quick to make herself obsequious or otherwise changd herself to meet the expectarions she thinks others hold for her. When, in reality, the only person holding Millie to these expectations is herself.

Her good intentions oftentimes lead Millie to act outside of her juristiction in a misguided effort to help the people around her- i.e. her notes on Priya's home life, leading a blindfolded Damien into The Horrors to help her team win, ect.

It's just nice to see a people pleaser character who faces the realistic consequences of their actions instead of being held up on a pedestal by the story itself like Beth or Zoey. No shade to either of them, since I love both of them too.
