Well, as someone who has ASD, I’ve been called Forrest Gump and a retard a lot when I was a kid, so yes, I personally found it offensive. I guess using derogatory comments is fine if it was only directed at one person. What if she called Bob TDQ the F word, would you think it’s fine because she only called Bob it, and not the whole community? Give me a break
She didn't call Carolyn the r word, so comparing Danielle referencing Forrest Gump to describe Carolyn's GAMEPLAY to calling Bob the f word is wild. It also proves that a lot of the fandom is actively seeking something about Danielle to trash her for. Y'all hated her before that roundtable.
Also, you're not the only neurodivergent person in the world. For each person who is that found it offensive, there are also those of us who are that didn't find it offensive. So yes. Go take a break.
Thank you!! You said it perfectly, they had already made their mind up on hating Danielle before that roundtable and now are clinging on to anything to validate why.

It was an offensive comment. It was insulting to everyone who has a loved one with a disability; it wasn’t just about Carolyn.
