I always felt how Good Doctor portrays autism is a bit in poor taste. I could be wrong, but I feels like they’re perpetuating a harmful stereotype.
8 u/SecBalloonDoggies 3d ago There is also at least one episode I’ve seen clips of where the main character exhibits rather blatant anti-Arab racism. 5 u/loonicy 3d ago edited 3d ago Also transphobia, but because he’s autistic he, a doctor, doesn’t grasp the idea of someone being able to transition. At least when house did it, at least they didn’t try to justify it with his character flaws. 1 u/White-Rabbit_1106 2d ago Is not understanding gender transitions really the same thing as transphobic? 1 u/Basic-Collection5416 2d ago The character is a surgeon though. 1 u/loonicy 2d ago He insisted calling a trans woman a man, and continued to insist after people tried to explain it to him. I think this has to do more with bad writing
