…it really is a sad situation all round and it would be nice to think that something like this could lead to discussions/debates etc but that rarely seems to be the way with social medias and other media’s …it always seems more to lean toward divisiveness of a right and are wrong/type thing….as was said a few evenings ago just after the airing, disabilities are ‘messy’ and complex and layered and I completely empathise with the impact of that slur, especially for the actors on stage at the time and I also empathise with John Davidson and the lack of social acceptance he’s had through his life because of his condition… those two things can and do-exist at the same time…it doesn’t have to be a choice, I think that many people will feel that way outside of social media/media nonsense …as a by the by, I don’t think that the movie has been realised yet in the US but I hope that when it is, a positive take from this would be that it may encourage more people to watch and to have an understanding of Tourette’s, it’s not a condition that is as well known as it should be, I think…
