In a 1975 study prepared for the President's Committee on Mental Retardation, Monroe Price and Robert Burt, professors at the U.C.L.A. and University of Michigan law schools, respectively, declared, "We are not too far removed, in time or ideology, from Justice Holmes and Buck v. Bell." People were "too sophisticated to talk eugenics, at least out loud," the professors noted, and they continued, "The language of 'fiscal responsibility' and 'parenting environment' [makes] a more appealing case than the rhetoric of 'wards of the state' and 'menace to society.'"¹⁸

18. Richmond Times-Dispatch, Feb. 28, 1980; Monroe E. Price and Robert A. Burt, "Sterilization, State Action, and the Concept of Consent", in The Mentally Retarded Citizen and the Law (Free Press, 1976), p. 74. Julius Paul, a professor of political science at the State University of New York in Fredonia, noted in 1970 that the trend in sterilization was not overtly eugenic. Nevertheless, it marked a return to the early twentieth century's punitive attack against illegitimacy, public welfare, and the "underprivileged", and to "the same economic, racial and moral overtones that were advanced in the days of the extreme hereditarians." Paul, "State Eugenic Sterilization", pp. 34-35.

okay so like assuming the budget cuts are somewhat canon, and assuming Peter is Anita's boy toy because of the fanfic, is Wade anything to Olive? Do they have anything established between them? Or has Wade not officially met Olive yet, is he going too?

hooh. hoooh. do i already have a playlist for this too? oh you betcha

wade hasn't officially met olive yet, but we kind of get an inkling to how wade would probably react to olive, just in how wade reacts whenever peter does present more femme.

[x]

wade's starving for olive. he's so, so... SO... just. be-yoing. cartoon boner sounds abound. wade's brain cannot function around him. his blood's just too busy flowing in the southernly direction.

i think olive delights in actually having the upper-hand in this dynamic. wade gets stupid. like. legitimately stupid when he's around olive. verbal diarrhoea. jaw stupidly agape. wolf sounds. salivating like pavlov's dog at dinner time.

yeah. yeah.

i'm kind of obsessed with peter and olive treated as two entirely separate identities, in the same way wade and anita are - so when peter goes on a date with anita - peter deals with anita as though she's an entirely different person to wade - and wade consents to that relationship, as though it were a polyamorous sort of a deal. peter's out on a date with anita tonight, and wade just has to wait at home for peter to come back, and he'll ask him how it went. it's just - it's cute. and similarly, wade and olive have an act going where wade has no idea it's peter. even though there's no mask and no arrangement or agreement between them - wade commits to the bit immediately on impact with olive, and honest to god, you'd believe it's genuine. he can't put two and two together – olive's so different from peter, there's no way they're the same person.

i think the hilarious thing is wade and olive's dynamic vs peter and anita's - god. peter is so, so respectful of anita - they take ages to get past first base, because peter's so sweet, and cautious, and also so respectful over wade's emotions, because - because he doesn't want to betray wade. spoilers for a peter/anita follow-up fic that i might finish. one day.

wade is no such gentleman. he cheats on peter immediately. peter ceases to exist when olive is around. peter? who's peter? i don't think olive cares all too much. and peter legitimately is none the wiser. while wade's aware of anita and introduces peter to her - peter genuinely has no idea about olive's existence. peter is getting cucked by olive and he doesn't know about it. please, please don't tell him.
