There's just something about enjoying the ableism on the show, especially from fellow nd people. Hehe haha look how stupid and childish Harry is he doesn't know anything he's so rude and clueless, he's so autistic.....
You equate the ableist/dehumanizing/infantalizing jokes from nt writers/alan and caricature he's become with autistic portrayal and the issue there is lost on you ig? Once upon a time the joke was not on him but it sure af is after s1.

Watching a character you love getting flanderized in real time is so painful.
Especially when it’s a character you heavily related to for specific reasons only to see them being regressed to a caricature or a joke of a character and throw away all their traits and development that made them who they are
I know it’s silly but as someone who only consumes extremely few very specific pieces of media I get attached to them and characters very heavily so it hurts more to see stuff like this happen or topics being mishandled
The first season of RA was so amazingly written, the characters and plot were so natural and appealing, and how our main character Harry was written and portrayed really struck me. He was clearly written to be autism coded by his mannerisms and speech patterns. The way he navigates society and speaks about and to humans really resonated with me as an autistic individual who always felt like I was from another planet as everyone else and couldn’t understand or relate to those around me.
Despite being weird and silly and having goofy behaviors he was still a self sufficient, independent adult character who knew what he did and didn’t want. He wanted to be respected (partially because he thought he was better than everyone else) but also as one of them. He was extremely intelligent and tech savvy, but emotionally undeveloped.
He doesn’t understand social cues to an almost extreme level but he is trying his best.
Specifically I need to mention Asta, whom he never hurts intentionally and the one scene that really stuck out with me was when he accidentally reveals to her family that she had a baby she gave up for adoption. He didn’t understand why people kept things secret from those they love and had no intention of exposing her closest secret to harm her in any way.
In the newer seasons, seeing Harry be regressed to an immature man baby is painful and sad. They are now trying to force a mother and son dynamic out of what was a beautiful mutual friendship and potentially romantic relationship. Asta is shown to be annoyed and exasperated with him while he just annoys her with a smile on his face. They’ve infantilized and reduced him to a joke and an idiot that just doesn’t sit right with me at all. Characters making fun of his neurodivergent traits when they rarely commented on his quirks before.
“He doesn’t understand” “I don’t understand.”
“He’s basically a child”. “Im Just a child.”
That hurt me so much. It’s not funny. I finally felt like I had an interesting and great semi-representation I’ve longed for without being a savant or aspergers stereotype. Cant have anything smh
#Same exact feelings and I'm so sorry this show is the way it is#It feels so extra cruel and needless for their ableism to be so heavy when s1 was so good#Also him telling Asta's family her secret is the perfect example of him messing up and receiving grace for his mistake as well as learning#But later when he's written and portrayed as more of an disabled caricature he's punished so harshly for any mistake at all#Despite logical storytelling saying them knowing he's an alien they should extend the same understanding#They make him like this basically so he 'deserves' it and they can be more cruel and think it's funny

When even people who like it realize it's just a tone nightmare they write like it's supposed to be an edgelord adult cartoon. Can't separate the garbage showrunner from his roots, eh?
the thing abt resident alien is like. they made a live action tv show but i’m not sure they wanted to. there r so many family guy dad noises type bits that are cringe worthy bc they’re live action where like. if this was a cartoon i wouldn’t care

I fucking fucking fucking knew they would retcon basically the entire basis of the show by making Harry the 'village idiot' of his own people. It already made zero sense they flanderized him til he's only smart when narratively convenient but now lol what he was a brilliant scientist, adaptable, and entrusted to travel light-years and take out a whole race of people? Nope s1 never happened, everyone make fun of his ND traits haha.

Swear the only types of people I've seen ship Asta and darcy are the 'these two woman exist near one another so they must be shipped' types and radfems/terfs who would despise a character like darfy but bc she's a woman it's fine she would be the exact same possessive, self-centered, abusive, emotionally explosive and unpredictable weight around Asta's neck that Jimmy was.
#resident alien#Sure representation based on identity politics in stories where the white one is made to outshine the Native woman so progress

people will act like shipping vandertrees is crazy like they’re not a love story in the source material and their s1 dynamic wasn’t 100% a romance set up
#Sooo tired of people putting their nose up at it as if it's not literally right there#No one is just shipping two people bc they're friends so it must go there#The direct tropes in s1 are in the dozens Harry is literally in love with her until they decided that never happened

Chris Sheridan's pastime is interviews revealing he's incompetent and the writing of the show is handled like a summer writing course
#resident alien#How do you write your show? Idk vibes and recycling the same shit til we're bored.#Like you can SEE them pulling scenes and lines and scenarios from old scripts#You regress all characters every three episodes to start with the same shit like#Improv and letting personal fulfillment rule the roost is an Issue but fr wing it and make it make sense in post????#Wild

this show is so fucking miserable holy fuck. Ableist and gross and they hate Asta so bad to turn her into this. Remember when she was the lead and mattered like goddamn, now she's nothing but suffering mother to the other character they ruined to make a cringe manchild or propping up creator's pet over there in her perpetual self pity ffs
#resident alien#The 'here's how it's going to happen' people the actors and show hate you stop how much does it need to push she hates him.#He accused her of sexual assault ffs???

can’t believe we are witnessing the Flanderization of Harry Vanderspeigle in real time
#You're right and you should say it but they started this in s2#Like 2x10 he was suddenly a huge idiot and they started calling him a child this is just the horrid continuation of that but worse somehow

I will not respond to the bad take I will not respond to the bad take I will no-
But here's the thing, in no narrative sense does it work out how utterly stupid they make Harry. Disabled caricature rainman thing yeah believe me I get that but truly think about it, how the fuck do you get a scientist on his planet, entrusted to travel lightyears on an extremely important mission but also doesn't know a single thing? His people came here for thousands of years but he knows nothing about humans? He doesn't know their emotions could influence him? He doesn't know very basic things? This assumption is such lazy ass writing, I didn't want to create a solid backstory so I hand wave any question as uh he's stupid haha.
And I'll keep harping on it but creative choices don't exist in a vacuum, being culturally uneducated or emotionally stunted does not make you a fucking child. Narratively, even if you take away that it entirely retcons s1, Harry basically being 'born' the second he landed on earth is nonsense, he had a life, personality, expertise before he came here. His former life would be built on by his experiences and lend to his learning on earth not completely erased so he's just somehow a cruel, oblivious stereotype.
#resident alien#And if you expect him to ever 'mature' I'm looking at you stupid he's never getting past where he currently is#If somehow in retcon world s1 was a baby and now is supposed to be a teenager why is he exactly the same as he was in pt2 of s2#Why does he forget things they made a big show of him learning he's stuck in sitcom character world#How many times can a mf learn the same seventh heaven ass lessons and you're like oh he's growing so much....for the 10th time 😭#'how does Asta not know' wtf are you ON rn how would she knows anything about aliens what are YOU TALKING about
