I love it so hard!This is great, but I feel like I’m missing part of the joke. I understand the puzzle piece but why is the rest of her outfit a playboy bunny?I’ve got this question a few times and I was hesistant to answer it because I don’t like explaining jokes but the autistic youth of today deserve to know their enemy:This is Jenny McCarthy.In 2007, this piece of work announced that her son had been diagnosed with autism. She said she was an “indigo mom” blessed with a “crystal child” whatever tf that means. (1) Experts have pointed out that her son’s symptoms (which included siezures) actually sound more like Landau-Kleffner Syndrome which is often mistaken for autism. McCarthy had denied claims of misdiagnosis. (2)In 2007, she published a book called Louder than Words: A Mother’s Journey in Healing Autism. She served as a spokesperson for the hate group Talk About Curing Autism (TACA) from June 2007 to October 2008. (3) Note that autism is a genetic tendency, a mere variation in brain activity and therefore impossible to cure without eugenics.In a 2008 appearance on Larry King Live, she argued that vaccines can trigger autism because of course she would. (4)In 2014 she reported success! Her totally not misdiagnosed kid was cured of autism! “He doesn’t meet the diagnostic characteristics for autism. He definitely has quirks and issues from the seizures. He has a little bit of brain damage due to his seizures. He doesn’t qualify for any more services, but he does have issues in his school.”Yeah I bet he does… (5)Though she denies being outright anti-vax, Jenny McCarthy has done irreparable damage to the autistic community by popularizing the harmful myth that autism is a curable disease brought on by “vaccine injury”. She is in the public face of the movement and a human embodiment of anti-autism pseudoscience.So yeah, fuck this chick. Sooo it’s a satire basically… what would that be in today’s standards? A Karen?Absolutely. Jenny McCarthy basically codified what we would come to know as the “Karen” aesthetic. Just look at her hair. -- source link
