Admin note - What about becky?

I don’t think she’s joking around with a disorder. I think she believes she actually has it. Lots of people self-diagnose and use it as an excuse to be dicks especially when something is a current popular diagnosis.  Which is generally insulting to the people who actually suffer from it.  I thought it was very apt social commentary and also funny because I think we’ve all met people like that. I still find her to be a likeable character overall, but I get why people find that offensive.

No mental illness should ever be used as a joke. Period.

   Becky? I agree with everything else in this confession, though (yes, it is hurtful, whether she really has it or not).

    You know, given how Sugar is, she could be lying...having Asperger’s Syndrome.

18. haunted-palace said: Tina’s pretending to stutter was even more hurtful and offensive, because there’s nothing wrong with her beyond shyness that she didn’t want to work to overcome. Also, BEcky has Down’s Syndrome, by the by, and she is still very much around.

    (or are misdiagnosed)...totally agree that she’s a self-diagnosed bitch, not mocking...

    I HATE Sugar Motta.

21. forza-infinita said: I don’t think the writers killed off Sue’s sister, I’m pretty sure she died in real life so there was nothing they could do but make it so she died in the show too. But I agree with everything else.
