crosspost from tumblr . most of this kind of feel like rehash of posts already here , but never really say much on tumblr as of yet , and would like to save .

think pretty shallow to say , even if happen to be reincarnate fictionfolk who fully hold faith in multiverse , that everyone who work on any given piece of media is definitely reincarnate from that media . multiverse is full of infinite possibilities , by nature . but pieces of media that people present do not inherently reflect every possibility , nor every truth , of worlds within .

this can be for many reasons . to tell stories and make art is part of nature as people , but there is also set of skills to build up to make these satisfactory for audiences . media can be inaccurate to these places due to simply lack of skill in expression .

pieces of media can tell stories of other worlds , but simultaneously hold allegorical purpose for this world here and now . rusted moss tell story in which faeries and humans lock in eternal struggle , each with biases against each other and treat each other horribly . rusted moss is also game that ask what if faerie girl get some big old guns and swing around on grapples , because that make for unique game design . and , rusted moss is also allegory about societal treatment of autism , because that is experience of writers and many others in this world . all of these coexist without invalidation of each other .

other pieces of media start with what might be accurate or semi-accurate view , but other biases of world here and now colour and change these aspects into cruelty and stereotypes . bosmer exist within forests of valenwood . bosmer oathbound to god , y'ffre , to protect plant life - to never harvest , nor cut , nor burn , for any reason at all . bosmer must instead hunt animals . oh , and cannibalise enemies . y'ffre will dispose of anyone who violate these terms , even if done accidentally , or to save lives . how much of that is accurate to multiversal worlds of TES ? that is something for individuals to figure out personally - but here and now , presentation very much distill some of cruelest indigenous stereotypes , and that can not go without at least barest acknowledgment .

similarly , corporate interests - or even just constraints of target audience - can meddle and change media to be functionally unrecognisable from mirrors in multiverse . if australia's 2005 preschool series the fairies was reflection of somewhere out in multiverse , would harmony and rhapsody really break into song everyday over mundane events , or could one reasonably assume that even in-universe this is just show which characters put on ?

simply in nature of people to tell stories . whether those stories reflect parts of multiverse or not is personal interpretation - but even then , that is not to say that every storyteller must be reincarnate . people have many reasons that might end up with these connections and speak of reflections , and think that actually more often tie into life here and now than past ones - whether that is desire to create allegory , to build something that feel strange and exotic ( awful stereotypes and all ) , to tell stories for specific audiences , or just to sit down and have some fun .

crosspost from tumblr . in answer to arguments that somehow still go around , which assert that people with this disability or that trait not actually more aggressive than peers ... and that anyone who is , is actually just fake . destroy stereotypes and stigma , yes , but do not throw real people under bus to do so ! 

unfortunate answer : sometimes , yes , this is necessary .

some people refuse as is to listen to spoken word boundaries , believe boundary is something to push past and ignore . this is even more true if boundaries not given through spoken word , but instead things like door hangers , gestures or local sign language , and yes , even AAC devices that read written words out loud .

top that off with fact that nonverbal people may also have traits like sensory sensitivity , differences in executive function and ability to switch tasks , differences in emotional regulation , and other traits which society misunderstand or otherwise do not recognise in wider world , and these boundaries can seem almost frivolous to others .

this means not only refuse to listen because non-spoken , but refuse to listen because believe unimportant . this often means that upon disrespect , there is no other way to defend these boundaries without aggression - whether through noise like growl and scream , or physical action like slam doors and shove .

unfortunately , authority figures very quick to characterise this as nonsensical behavioural issue , something that just need to beat away . but have to face truth here : if someone already decide to disrespect boundaries , no amount of polite AAC usage will get that person to stop - but kick and scream might .

yes , sometimes people with particular disabilities and traits will be more aggressive than those without - not because that is necessarily inherent , but because that is only way to protect self . can not discuss aggression as only media stereotype , assert that every actual person is sweet angel cake at all times , and then cast out anyone who do happen to be aggressive as some kind of fake . that attitude honestly speak to lack of awareness and insight that other people might have different problems .
