Yes!! I love Kimiko but the way they handle her disability makes me so sad sometimes!

I haven’t seen season 4 yet, but hearing that she verbally speaks was actually so disappointing! It feels so common for shows with characters who are mute to eventually “cure” the character which sucks and I’d really been hoping they’d avoid it :(

I just wish that disabled characters were allowed to be disabled and have other characters adapt to their needs instead of the disability just being written as something to eventually "overcome."

Disability In The Boys

Can we please talk about the disability representation of Kimiko in the boys?

I love seeing a disabled character as a disabled person and a disability studies student. However, I have a huge problem with Kimiko and her relationship with other people and the way they communicate.

Kimiko lost her ability to speak due to trauma she experienced in childhood. This led her and her brother to make up a sign language to communicate. This is an amazing aspect depicting for one, that children will find a way to communicate, that communicating with others is a part of being human, and that a disability does not mean you have to 'suffer' with it but can find ways to be included in social life.

However, The Boy's handling of Kimiko's muteness within the group is a problem. I love that Frenchie makes an effort to learn and communicate with Kimiko. It is so important! Disabled people deserve to be integrated into active society. Yet, the implication of ONLY Frenchie learning that Kimiko's language is 100% a negative representation in relation to who learns it. Frenchie and Kimikos relationship is portrayed with romantic undertones and in Season 4 a comfirmed romantic partner. It implies that only a romantic partner should make an effort to communicate differently.

Why do the other boys not learn even basic phrases of Kimiko's sign language? I understand Butcher not learning but the others?!

These people are her friends and like family to her. Families such as hearing parents with deaf children in real life are statistically more likely not to learn sign language almost 70%. And we as a society need to talk about this. It is a blatant form of discrimination and exclusion of disabled people.

So why does a show like the Boys who points out so many difficult issues within the show does not make an effort with their disabled protagonist? Furthermore only showing a love interest learning it. Even more so it is depicted as something romantic to learn to communicate wit Kimiko through sign language.

giving this women literally the scariest powers in the whole show was not okay. look at her.

"she killed innocent people" ok well her eyes are literally big and brown and sad so she can do whatever

This is truly fucking vile behaviour on his part. Just disgusting beyond words.

i can't even explain how fucking disappointed i am in damien. from his initial reaction to someone calling him out for that joke to BLOCKING THE PERSON to blocking others calling him out to deciding AFTER that to go on a social media break? i dont even know what to say beyond this. he isn't in the right for a SINGLE part of this.

hi! grace is autistic, i will take absolutely no criticism!

Sorry I can't come Friday is Black for me. Yeah only my ashes will see the sea. Yeah when Friday is Black there's no turning back. sorry maybe another my time

hey umm real quick. there were in fact Other Counsellors at camp idontwannabang other than boy jerry & girl jeri. so like. what exactly went down between them & grace at the end of abby camp?? did she threaten them into letting her be in charge?? did she just blink innocently at them and ask sweetly if she could help them out by running some activities now that the jerries are MIA, while hiding the bloody axe behind her back??

also side question, did anyone bury the jerries (… well. boy jerry at least. i guess when a woman explodes it’s kind of tough to collect up all the bits of her) or were they just kinda… claimed by the ever shifting dimensions of the forest. … is there any chance lil jerry buried them? that sure would be fuckin depressing huh

what if we went missing

people are so stupid. She Would Not Fucking Say That

Oh god its been so long since I’ve been on this app. Anyways, do we still crosspost fic links? Lemme drop you on my banger of a WIP abt Grace Chasity. I basically took NPMD very seriously, and I am loosing my mind over it. Exploring Grace’s character from a very dire POV bc no one hates men that much without a reason
