Husband and I already weren't fans of the show, then this pair of video essays made us anti-fans:

@toolbear I haven't watched those (but I think I will, thanks ๐), but yeah, that show had so much wrong with it. As someone who both is and writes about being autistic, their portrayal of ASD in Sheldon (which I don't think they ever put an actual name to) was really gross.
@alice
Well, let me throw in another thing on the pile ^_^

Also I was in some part an adorkable misogynist, co-โmorbidโ with autism, and now I got an ick for the show. (And even then Howard was a bloody creep with deep, undiagnosed mom issues.)
If you need a video essay about their portrayal of autism, Ember Green is always good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_Ay6Rf0uCs ๐
