whencartoonsruletheworld:Hey guys! So Spotify has started advertising Music (2021) on their platform. As an autistic person horrified by what is happening in this film, I’m asking you guys to help me send complaints to them. Please do not copy the text directly, but use it as a basis if you cannot think of what to write. I am including my sources below, and then a full transcript of the email under the cut. If you are not autistic, please still help, just adjust your emails accordingly that even though you are not one of us, you are fully supportive of us and horrified by what Sia is trying to get away with. I also will admit that I’m not entirely sure this is the right spotify email- if it’s not, someone please correct me, and I will edit this post with the right one. As well as this, it would also help immensely if those of you with twitter would send them a message at @SpotifyCares, as their social media team will also pay attention through that. Thank you. And autistic people- we are not a curse, we are not a burden. Our autism is a gift and a blessing, and do not let the ableists convince you otherwise.
