It may have been said on this sub before but I truly think this is worth sharing as much as possible, especially with all the culture surrounding theories and leaks. There a few channels that are capitalizing off WandaVision's Hype by deceiving audiences and setting false expectations.
The channels in question are "Screen Culture" and "Spectrum Cinema". There are more, but these two are the most prominent ane the most disingenuous. What they do is create fake promos and trailers, splicing together footage from past Marvel films and other Lizzy Olsen/Kathryn Hahn movies to make "new footage." Some of the more egrigious examples include ||the now debunked "magneto" scene, which was put in a more recent video, and fake scenes involving mephisto.||
These videos do not have "fan-made" anywhere in the title or description, and they garner MILLIONS of views. They are literally fooling a major portion of the wandavison audience, and if you look through their comments, everyone buys it.
This is damaging because the scenes they include put waaaay too much hype on the show, and when the show inevitably does not follow the fake trailers, those who watch it will be confused and some of them will feel lied to. Which they have been! Just not by who they think.
So please, spread awareness about these two, and if you have time, report their channels and videos posing as official materials. This is really, really bad for the wandavison viewerbase and will impact the show's reception.
What do you think about society's expectations for immigrants and minority groups? I think there is a kind of analogue to the left-right political spectrum in that you can classify views as closer to melting pot/assimilation vs mosaic/multiculturalism. I suppose those on the left generally support multiculturalism and vice versa but I think it hides nuance to fold it into the main political spectrum.
Where you fall on this spectrum depends on how you feel on questions like How far should the government go to accomodate second languages(Spanish/Chinese etc)? Should immigrants be expected to be fluent in the host country's language? Should there be mandatedHalal/Kosher aisles/stickers? Thoughts on cultural enclaves? How far should immigrants be expected to fit into the broader culture? What accomodations would immigrants make? What about the accepting culture?
I think these are important questions to ask, especially since we are advocating for increased immigration.
I tried to be neutral in the above portion but FWIW, I lean towards melting pot. Probably this is due to the fact that I only have loose attachments to my culture(I'm SE Adian) since I went to an international school and my parents went to university in North America. I also feel that separate cultures lead to identity politics, which is harder to find compromise. (Some quote probably from the Atlantic: You can compromise on economic policies, but not your identity) Finally, I think that visible minorities(Hasidic jews, muslims) easily become targets of populists(but suppressing their cultural practices like France is kind of doing is not a great solution either so idk) Anyway discuss below and remember I'm just a college student procastinating studying for finals.
Hi, all!
I am hearing, but interested in learning ASL and am very interested in learning about Deaf culture and allyship.
I have read that a big part of Deaf culture is not breaking eye contact. For folks who are on the autism spectrum, who may find maintaining eye contact to be extremely difficult, how can they adjust when communicating with Deaf folks to not be perceived as “rude”? Any advice?
Thank you!
I got diagnosed with Asperger's as an adult and I'm very grateful for the name and diagnosis, I feel like it explains a lot about me, like my inability to read people, sensitivity to sensation and my obsession with finding patterns. But I feel like I'm lacking a historical and cultural context.

If neurodiversity is natural and has been with us, have there always been people like me? Are there signs of neurodiversity in the past and across cultures? What roles have neurodiverse people played in the past?

In one of her TED Talks, Temple Grandin says pretty confidently that the first person to make a throwing spear was autistic because they weren't spending their time chit-chatting around a fire. How do you feel about that? Does that feel like a simplified characterization of inventors and technical people?
-
And if you can't answer this question, are there common social characteristics of inventors and mathematicians across cultures?
I ask because it seems like the fear side doesn't exist in reality and especially not in tribal societies as the theory claims where things are actually more egalitarian while guilt-shame can be nearly interchangeable even if on a spectrum.
Is there anyone I should be reading who has updated or rebutted the theory in recent memory?
As someone on the spectrum I'm not interested in sci-fi or DND or Doctor Who or table top games.My interests are pretty mainstream and I usually found"nerd culture" more off putting(for lack of a better word) than mainstream culture
