tw: restraint
My upset and anxiety around Music being nominated for two #GoldenGlobes isn't about me being bitter that something I hate is being recognised, it's about the legitimacy it gives to a film that could lead to people thinking it's okay to pin down autistic people.

Films, tv shows, cultural things like that have an impact.
When it is depicted as right and even loving to lie down on top of an autistic person in distress, it embeds it in people's minds as a good and correct response if they were to come across a similar situation.

Tw: restraint, sia, death, murder
When autistic people have routinely been killed by variants of that same restraint and mentality, you're damned right I care about this film getting the kind of publicity that a #GoldenGlobes nomination bestows upon it.

This isn't about 'cancelling' the film or bringing down Sia or anything that I've seen people claim.
This is about wanting to ensure that the potential harm from this film is mitigated as best it can be given the situation.

Because you know full well that some abled person who has seen the film and gone 'awww, that's great!' is going to see an autistic person in distress in public at some point in their life and decide to jump in to be the 'saviour' like the 'amazing film' showed them.
