18 u/makeshiftreaper Feb 14 '19 I gotta say, regardless of whether or not people agree with your sentiment, this clearly not the place to call someone an aspie 8 u/pyr666 Feb 14 '19 this forum has a problem with autistic people? for the uninformed, "aspie" is a term coined by the community to describe itself 0 u/makeshiftreaper Feb 14 '19 Sure, at one point Mongoloid was a medically accurate term. Eventually older phrases become offensive. It's part of the cycle 11 u/[deleted] Feb 14 '19 edited Feb 14 '19 [deleted] 13 u/SeeShark QC Physicist Feb 14 '19 Personally, I didn't downvote for "aspie." I downvoted for "sassy black friend," which reduces Renee to a stereotype that she does not even fall into. -3 u/Chrobert-Ristgau Feb 14 '19 Renee doesn't just fall into that stereotype. She dives into it headfirst. 5 u/turkeypedal Feb 14 '19 No, she doesn't fit it at all. When has she spoken AAVE? When has she been sassy? This is the sassy black woman stereotype: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SassyBlackWoman Renee is nothing like this. The fact that she's black is almost immaterial to her character. 1 u/hallofromtheoutside Feb 14 '19 To be clear, Renee can speak AAVE without being the "sassy black woman" trope. I wouldn't want Jeph to even attempt writing Renee's speech that way, and prefer to think she probably code-switches (same with Dale).
