I know I’ve posted about this a few times already, but I just want people to be aware than Sia knew all about Autism Speaks and how awful they were prior to recent events. Several finds very politely approached her and informed her about it and she even acknowledged them in both situations, only to turn around six months later and pretend she had no idea. That is part of the reason why people, especially autistic people, are so upset.
Yes, her casting a non-autistic person as an autistic character is bad, but to deny that she knew anything about a hate group she actively chose to partner with when she very well did, makes this all the more abhorrent. Especially considering she’s demanding ppl to waste their money on her movie and “give it a chance” while responding aggressively to hurt autistic ppl who are criticizing her. She just wants to make money and using a marginalized group of people as her personal cash cow. It’s really as simple as that.
Please spread this. I know celebrities get away with a lot, but even if we can’t hold her accountable, people deserve to be aware.
