Do you know the difference between diversity and tokenism? Because this show is skewing towards the latter and it is upsetting to watch. Rocket being an ~autism mom~ was the last straw for me. Focusing on the poor, suffering mommy instead of the actual autistic person may get you praise from the neurotypicals but we are sick of our voices being drowned out. We are sick of being supporting characters who are depicted as a burden on our caretakers. Would be cool to get an actual superhero on the spectrum that has other traits beyond autism but that would have taken too much work right? And you have a billion other demographics to pander to this season, you do not have time to flesh any of the characters out, you need to cram in as many as possible.
