handshake w/anyone framed as "abnormal" but once again [trans] handshake [autistic] the way this is so parallel to me continually taking all winston's material in stride and in earnest as just more regular stuff that's probably even extra appealing, then be left to piece together that we're also all supposed to have always taken it all as a joke in the first place

#like yeah what of it? epic? nice? fun? kind and dynamic and engaging?#waiting around on the payoff for anything for him but we were apparently supposed to have laughed at him in the moment & moved on #less obvious than in other series; here they still operate by the same rules but it's obfuscated by everyone being ''''''weird'''''' still #and everyone also being hostile to everyone else. so that being ramped up towards winston is unsurprising but not inherently exclusive #like waiting around for anyone to process anything abt an autistic person. any minute now. & then they never do like wow just like irl #yet it's still disappointing & inherently insulting every time. just like irl #luckily taylor not being cis / being gnc af is not a joke but ofc not itself this sky high bar #whilest characters who Are meant to be being assholes do make jokes abt ppl doing gender/sexuality wrong #whilest even if you assume winston is cis & straight; he's doing both ''wrong'' ''enough'' too #certainly thinking abt & discussing if he Did get more gnc w/it....that could be a joke to ppl. viewers for sure. characters possibly even #you do get that overlap like ''well but it's still wrong when you do it'' as an additional layer re: being autistic even if someone's #Supposedly fine w/ppl being trans; gnc af; etc. add the [negative intrinsic qualities ascribed to the physical qualities] factor. like irl.#winston billions #meanwhile the person who tweeted this is also both trans and autistic
