I don’t think here it’s made to make him look cute. He’s clearly struggled from it and trying to overcome how he thinks and acts differently from people. I actually pretty liked how it’s handled because from the beginning you could feel it and it didn’t feel like sticking an etiquette on him just because.
as someone whose autistic and has been fetishised, I actually don't see anything wrong with his character. I feel like his personality and his growth is what's adorable. the author has obviously done a bit of research. I've seen quite a lot of yaoi that are intentionally 'autism-coded' for views, but this isn't one of them.
I completely agree
what are you even saying?
hmm idk, this feels very autistic coded to me. Although it's driven more towards a comedic setting than a serious one so maybe it's easier to miss. Doesn't take away that this feels very much like a mental disorder fetishization.
if you can't understand simple english why are you even replying
Bruh that's uncalled for. No need to be rude.
-a rando person who's replying
it really doesn’t feel like any kind of fetishization at all. he can just be some kind of neurodivergent coded, whether it’s intentional or not.
Well it’s autistic coded because he is autistic and it’s talked and explored in a pretty respectful way
?? you just don't make any sense. this aint a cash grab when you are reading it on this site.
And the fetishization for autism continues.... Anyone who tries to deny this is blind as hell. A lot of yaoi manga is intentionally autism-coded because it makes the mc looks 'cute'. Gross cash grab trick, ugh...
