some people on here sound like they donât want james to develop and learn and I think thatâs crazy đ you guys want to be right in your first judgement of âheâs just evil and doesnât belong in medicineâ sooo bad đ talking about McKay shouldnât have taken him to see kiki like that experience wasnât perfect for him because it caused him to face his troubles with being able to engage with patients beyond just treating them to a case and 100% following rules/protocol.
Like do you guys want him to learn or not?
Also trying to act like him not understanding drug addiction is a crazy and evil thing is insane like no it is not. It is incredibly common. How are you going to understand something youâve never been around? Or have never lived?
If he hadnât been willing to hear what McKay had to say to him after his statement or had made demeaning comments about kiki/drug addicts in general while treating her or after treating her then yes, it wouldâve been âevilâ. But none of that happened. He was fully able to be accepting of hearing another viewpoint and being educated. And immediately used what he was told when treating kiki. When he stopped to look at her it wasnât demeaning or anything but truly looked like worry and learning to understand just what drug addiction can do to a person and remembering what mckay said. Why did she turn to drugs? Whatâs her story? For all we know that couldâve been his first actual patient thatâs an addict. Possibly even the first time he actually faced addiction outside of reading about it or studying it.
you guys cannot complain about his lack of empathy when you are refusing to even have a little bit of empathy when interacting with his character. Like I have said before, would you talk about and treat real people that struggle with empathy like you do him? Would you tell them they donât belong? Would you tell them to give up on their passions the second they struggle? Would you tell them that no matter how hard they try, they should give up and go away because they wonât succeed? Would you accuse them of enjoying seeing others in pain? Would you tell them they must enjoy hurting those around them? Would you tell them you want them dead? Would you tell them that their disorders and struggles arenât valid or donât matter because they cause them to act in a way YOU are uncomfortable with? All of these are things that this fandom has said and seen as perfectly reasonable when talking about james ogilvie.
You guys cheer when james is confronted with and has to unlearn his biases (yes thatâs great and I have been loving seeing him to called out and learn, because thatâs what heâs here for) but you also refuse to see your very own fucked up views. Mainly the way you guys view humans that struggle with empathy and the mental disorders that can cause a lack of/struggle with empathy.
accusing james of being evil and enjoying causing/seeing others in pain simply because he struggles with showing empathy and connecting with people is not only wrong, it can very quickly go into ableism. We donât know if itâs going to be confirmed that he is autistic or has any disorder that causes his problems with connecting with people and showing empathy, but the way a big part of the fandom reacts to people saying âhey this can be a symptom of (for example) autismâ is very ableist. Denying that it can be autism is ableist, refusing to see autistic people as anything more than âoh theyâre socially awkward and donât like loud noises or big crowds but they always mean wellâ is ableist even if it doesnât come from a place of malice. Autism shows very different in each of us and not every autistic person has or shows the same traits. So trying to put us in a box and being like âno actually this is how autistic people should and do actâ is ableist.
alot of you guys are very weird about autistic people and thatâs something you need to try to work on.
you guys just want to continue to have a punching bag because you struggle with accepting that no singular person is the true villain in this show despite their flaws, because in most shows being flawed equals being one of the bad guys but sadly the Pitt isnât going with that and you canât handle it.
not liking him is fine, being annoyed by him is fine, but the way some of you talk about him like heâs incapable of change and also shouldnât be allowed to get the opportunity to grow and learn and figure out where he fits in is weird. The way you react to people saying âhe might be neurodivergentâ or people saying they feel represented by him is more than weird. Itâs concerning.
