ProjectJoanne

ive also heard they made maddie do blackface, as she's way darker than usual (not a tan) and she also has braids. that's problematic alone, but also the fact that she's portraying an autistic girl and acting "weird", its mockery of autistic people. sia also worked with an autism hate group, for this movie. 

so to sum up, do not watch the movie or support the project in any way shape or form<3

i can honestly see why people are upset. if she was going to have a movie surrounding an autistic character, they could've hired an autistic actor. they can say whatever bullsh** about it being hard with the actor/actress, but if you can't find an actor/actress who is actually autistic to play an autistic character, then you just shouldn't do the movie.

@thetea exactly. and if it was really that overwhelming for the original actor, then they should've just made the set simpler. im sure that was possible, they obviously just didnt want to have to do that, so they  got maddie to play the character instead. 

i really wonder why they even put out the movie, cant they tell its NOT ideal?????? mockery of autistic people, blackface, hiring a non-autistic actress to portray an autistic character, working with a hate group thing. who told them this was okay
