Chatter post

[trashmod]

For all your discussion needs.

Ground rules:
- Try to keep it loosely trash party related, or at least Cap fandom related.
- Disagreement is fine, nastiness is not.
- Being offended is not carte blanche for nastiness.
- Trashmeme ground rules apply. Read at your own risk, no romanticizing your noncon garbage, no wank about the moral acceptability of noncon kink.
- Body shots, sniper shots, and tetanus shots are all available at the open bar. Party like it's 2014, kids.

Re: Autistic, disabled, & crazy Winter Soldier Feels

Oh okay I'm commenting on my own thread because I rediscovered this quote from Ivar Lovaas, the founder of ABA:

"You see, you start pretty much from scratch when you work with an autistic child. You have a person in the physical sense—they have hair, a nose and a mouth—but they are not people in the psychological sense. One way to look at the job of helping autistic kids is to see it as a matter of constructing a person. You have the raw materials, but you have to build the person.”

I really enjoy thinking about the Winter Soldier's handlers/techs this way, and the way they could have seen their dehumanization of him as being ethically excused by something they've rationalized about the Soldier (he has a hair, a nose, and a mouth, but...).
