His friends were just showing concern … which again, is fine. Just because they weren’t throwing him a party for the news doesn’t mean they were saying Asperger’s is awful.
One last episode that’s getting gutted some 4 years later … ‘GMW’ touched on communism, of all things. Some of the kids in Cory’s history class go full commie — and they play up the stereotype that communists all think the same and want everyone to be the same.
Cory gives a corny speech praising the fact that differences are important … kinda punching a hole through the so-called communism doctrine. People are now claiming that Disney intended to shove capitalism down kids’ throats … which yet again, is twisting things.
Did ‘GMW’ tackle some issues in cringe fashion? Sure. But, saying this show is problematic and/or is terrible in hindsight is unfair, and just one more example of resurrecting years-old media to give it a woke 2021 postmortem autopsy … which always looks bad.
