The YouTooz is finally real and I couldn't be more excited LOL now go join the giveaway dangelowallace.youtooz.com/

If the movie is basically about Zu or whatever, then why tf couldn't they bring an autistic actress for Music?

I wish there was a skip ad button for these IN VIDEO ads

i hovered over the video and my immediate reaction was "this video is sponsored by hello fresh"

She definitely didn’t learn to read the room that’s for sure.

I feel like women being predators isnt something that a lot of people believe is common, I think they know that women like that exist but I think it’s a lot more common than we actually realize I know multiple guys I’ve dated who actually have been touched inappropriately by a female babysitter. When they were like nine or 10 and just because sia is a women and Maddie is a young girl doesn’t mean that it’s not creepy.Sia was a grown ass woman For many decades when she first met Maddie! They are not sisters and she is not that girl‘s mother no matter how much she likes to say that! she was a complete stranger who just so happened to have a few hit songs,take away the fame and that shit is weird and I don’t know how her mother could justify that just because Sia is “Sia”!

I’m just confused why she made a movie about this topic when she Dosent seem to know anything about it or have anyone in her life who has it, my brother is Autistic so this was pretty upsetting for me to see as it was for everyone else and tone deaf on her part. She should have made a movie about stuff she knows about

lmao i’m autistic and fought my parents why this movie is so fucking ableist

Im Gay and I want the cancel Culture to stfu

let's be honest doctors and nurses are way more important than sex workers thats just a fact

what about the netflix series atypical...

When I watched the trailer I thought it would be a good movie, *nope*

“ do you expect me to believe doctors, nurses, and singers are somehow more important or better than sex-workers or addicts?” I’m sorry but we cannot transform the neighborhood brothel for a hospital, no matter how many sick patients there are.

It's like Maddie is being groomed by Sia. Every single thing Sia does, she makes maddie too. It's Abby Lee Miller pt.2, both Sia and Abby have had all their power over Maddie. Attack Sia, not Maddie.

Don't care

Your chat is so cringe

not all the twitch comments saying “consider the source” 100% what sia needed to do 😂👏🏻

Serious question. A lot of the complaints about this movie are that a neurotypical actor played an autistic character. But I haven't seen outrage over Freddie Highmore, who is not autistic, playing an autistic doctor in The Good Doctor, and it's actually a very popular show. Is there a reason for this? I'm not trying to start a fight, or say Sia's movie is acceptable (I don't think it is) - I am genuinely curious about this discrepancy.

Just when you thought Sia couldn’t get any worse.... When an autistic person REACHED out to her on twitter & wrote “ myself & several other actors w/ autism offered to work on the movie, even with short notice” SHE FUCKING RESPONDS “MAYBE YOURE JUST A BAD ACTOR” I screamed SO loud I scared my Grandma. She told me there was NO reason to get loud in her house...I then explained what happened .... She then joined me in a great big loud “GAAAAAH!!!! what the actual fuck!”

Fuck this movie. Have you ever seen Sesame Street? I love Julia.

Do not use restraints on anyone. (Unless absolutely necessary) It's common sense. If someone is having a breakdown do not touch them without their permission especially an Autistic person, the reason they have a mental breakdown is that their senses are going haywire and there are too many things going on. Speak in a quiet manner (They are most likely going to have major sensitivity so please get everyone to shut up) and comfort them try to help them calm down. (At least this is what works with my brother) Autistic people react in different ways that's why there is no 'One size fits all' when referring to autism. For example, my brother will express it in major rage or sadness, while my friend on the other hand will try to get into a space and panic (they would hide under the table and cry/panic) Don't treat autistic people as aliens, they are just as capable as you. We all have rough times in life, autistic people may have these harder and/or more frequent but that doesn't make them weak. Everyone needs help, yes even you Chad Please if you have any more helpful tips please comment them, we need to learn as much as we can to make people feel more welcome.

Imagine being the poor actors doing this stupid movie. I'd have it removed from my resume. As an autistic person this is super offensive.

Reminds me of 'Simple Jack' in Tropic Thunder

I’m so fucking happy that people are standing up to bullshit like this, thank you for the video and the anger over sia’s bullshit in the comment section, it means a lot to me. The world is improving it’s narrative when it comes to autism.

Sia is a disgusting coward.

I can't believe that no one stopped Sia at any point in this film's production, or even just expressed some concern.

I knew Leslie Odom Jr was in this and was immensely disappointed about it because I really like him but I had no idea THAT was his character in this movie omfg. The ableism was so strong it overshadowed the racism

"special abilities"? does she think disabled people have superpowers or something?

Why aren’t people mad about the good doctor?

i'm sure leslie odom jr is a great actor but he's a whole grown adult who agreed to be in the movie of his own free will like he's kinda complicit in this

Just want to add that maddie had panic attacks about how concerned she was this role was wrong and people would hate her for it. She was 14 at the time, an impressionable child. Sia, a fully grown adult, convinced her it was fine and sia was already acting as a creepy "mother figure" to her so young maddie trusted her. So just know that maddies involvement at the time was as a child coerced into doing something she was uncomfortable with. Kind of like on dance moms. Sia is problematic for SO many reasons.

Those pictures make me actually scared like it’s sick im physically sick like I saw pictures and a video of the movie it was terrible

exactly 10 minutes i love you so much

You are so cool and charismatic that I watched the sponsorship parts

Why didn’t Leonardo DiCaprio get any backlash when he played a child with austism/MR in Gilbert Grape? He doesn’t have a disability, and he definitely exaggerated his role too.. but that movie is iconic.

your voice is therapeutic btw

Should of got Freddie highmore

Saying a person has special abilities and calling a disabled person "special" are two different things.

0:34 Innits. Honk has a great pfp and user smh :3

Thank you for making this video ❤️

she is a drug addict ! wut?

Claims to have done years of research but misses basic facts like Autism Speaks being controversial or "special abilities" being a term made of pure cringe unless it refers to Marvel superheroes.

Sia's entire relationship with Maddie has always been weird to say the least. So disappointing that she made the girl star in the movie instead of hiring a more appropriate actor....

they had leslie odom jr in this? he deserved better

Look, the "outburst" in that movie was not an outburst and in no way needed restraint--a bad practice in almost all cases. The movie is embarrassing and insulting in so many ways to the autistic community. Personally I have lived with family who have severe autism--and I know people don't like that term, but I have to use "severe" when meltdowns involve violence, choking people, putting one's head through a wall. So for me, the mannerisms were not an exaggeration--but they are still a mockery.

Jfc and I thought the media's representation of schizophrenia was bad. At that point I'd prefer if you just call me a slur instead.

nice teeth dango wallace

Didn't both Cuba Gooding junior and Tom Hanks portray mentally Retarded people in their respective movies? Was anyone upset about that?

I've never been in a situation where I felt legitimately triggered before this shit came out.

D’angelo: Sia is most known for her song- My brain: “CEILING FAN!!” D’angelo: -“Chandelier”. ...My brain needs to be switched off for a few days.

Whelp this was definitely added to the reasons I’m okay with not having a movie focused on a person ADHD as a focal point. The thought of someone doing shallow surface level research and acting out RSD and hyper focusing, makes me cringe by itself. Not knowing the difference between the attentive and inattentive versions, not understanding the companion ailments of anxiety and depression. Or the very basics like there’s a spectrum, that girls also have ADHD and that ADHD doesn’t mean you are easily distracted it’s that you have problems regulating and prioritizing what you focus on, which is way therapy, medication and structure are so important. For example I’m writing this in the morning before I took my medication, instead of getting ready for work, but I know to give myself 15-30 minutes of wiggle room in the morning just for times like this. So after acknowledging what I’ve been doing for the last 15 minutes I’ll end this here.

i feel bad for maddie :( she was forced into this

I'm autistic and I truly appreciate D'Angelo using his platform to warn others about this ablest propaganda ♥

Ye👉👈Go🍩My✨Ableist✨QueEn👑👑👑 Aight, 😀✋imma head out.

What kind of dumbass tries to tell people how to feel-

cuba gooding jr radio

If you were upset would you want somebody jump on top of you, Sia?

Someone should have made her watch Tropic Thunder for fuck's sake.

This is the wrong way of a music artist making a film. Melanie Martinez's film K-12 is a GREAT film, please give it a watch

Sia might have hero syndrome idk

I see that guitar in the back, c'mon. I'm waiting. Go ahead, don't be shy. 😌

even the fanfictions i read portraits autism better than her did. tf was she thinking, bro.

Why do u look younger than 21?

Hmm... I'm trying to educate myself here and I kind of understand the criticism towards the movie as it seems that it really feeds into stereotypes about autistic people. But what I don't quite understand is the general criticism about actors playing autistic people, because Sia's movie isn't the first time that this has happened. Kier Gilchrist for example played Sam in Atypical and Freddie Highmore plays Shaun Murphy in the Good Doctor - neither of these actors are on the spectrum. So I guess I'm trying to understand the criticism: Is it that Sia's movie is making it into a caricature and mocking autism in itself or is the criticism that non-autistic people are playing people on he spectrum? Anyone want to weigh in?

It's really not Maddie Zieglers fault, Sia even said in an interview that Maddie cryed before shooting because she didn't want to play the role. Also Sia has been basically obsessed with Maddie ever since she starred in the Chandelier music video, and admitted that she basically writes roles for Maddie.

Ok yes this is funny "haha" but!!! Special abilities to refer to autistic people is literally harmful to them!! Do you know how many times people thought I was super smart or had "special mind abilities" and how many of even my teachers were incredibly harsh to me because of it??? People always treat autistic people as if they have an easier time learning, when most of us have a HARDER time than neurotypicals. (especially if we also have ADHD, dyslexia, ect which is common too) Sidenote. Music? MUSIC?? Really?? Couldn't name her... Melody? Carol? No? Why? That's so stupid

There is something so wrong about sia’s obsession with Maddie! :(

I just love how the attention shifted to autistic people possibly getting killed cause of this movie to a Maddie Ziegler pity party. I just feel like the focus totally shifted.

TY for making this video ✅✊🏽🤍. I never heard about the movie and I actually AM a person who has spent almost 3 decades of my life working with diverse communities and I worked directly with youth living with autism and they were Highschool students and very capable. I am flabbergasted by Sia’s ignorance about this subject!! How do you make a movie about a topic that you don’t know anything about?! Like wtf?! Please “make it make sense!?” 🤦🏽‍♀️ 🤷🏽‍♀️✌🏽

I agree with you that your sponsor is pretty good ✅📦🥘👍🏽.

Did Kate Hudson really shave her head?! Way way waaaayyy off topic, sorry!!!

even maddie herself didn't want to do it.

If you want actually good autistic rep, there's a pixar short called loop that I've heard a lot of autistic people like. I watched it and its much better than this.

As an autistic I literally cannot respect Sia anymore.

It’s called acting for a reason

Whatever you do don't fucking buy this movie.

"Special Abilities is what I always called it", huh? Just say I'm autistic, Sia. It's not hard! I'm not a fuckin MUTANT. God, what a MORON!

Sia is sick, how was she aloud to make that movie?

Everyone saying "Bye FIpost" makes me feel so loved and appreciated

Why didn't she understand that people were not angry because the movie 'they haven't f*cking seen' was bad, its because they didn't use an autistic actor in a film about autism, and instead used a girl who had to get her knowledge about autism from FIpost because she had literally no idea about it 🤦🏻‍♀️

As a person who works with neurodivergent/disabled people, it makes me really sad that she really patted herself on the back for "researching" the way that she did. Neurodivergent/disabled people are not stupid. They are very aware that interactions with them is often a new experience for people and sometimes that first experience is an uncomfortable one for one or both parties. But that awareness doesn't make it hurt less. My point is, like you said, she could've and should've spent significant time talking directly to neurodivergent/disabled people and parents to learn more about their experience. Not only would that have given her a more appropriate performance, it would've meant a lot to the community and to each individual she should've spoken to. Everyone wants to be heard. The disabled community generally has no issues talking about their experience, you just have to say hi and start a conversation.

Her comments under her insta posts are limited

Thank you for talking about this I know I’m really late but as an autistic person I know that this is the worst insult ever saying that we can’t even represent ourselves which is very insulting. I’m sure that you could find an autistic actress who is as good if not better than Maddie Ziegler. Also Ziegler’s “research” is actually angering to me I bet she doesn’t even know half the struggles that autistic people actually go through!

Beyonce should have never let her out the basement!!!!

No one has mentioned the fact that Music is supposed to be biracial (one white and one black parent) even though Maddie herself is white. I don’t think that’s appropriate.

The fact that she mentioned casting neuroatypical and trans people as doctors, singers etc instead of what is basically considered delinquents by the society is honestly so sickening because she says it as if it's a charity to their communities, as if she did them a favor just by casting them on roles other than addicts or sex workers. (Not even mentioning that trans actors have nothing to do with the issue and don't make up for her ableism. This was about better autism representation. Don't mention trans actors randomly just to show you're inclusive. Leave my people out of this.)

i almost screamed when i saw the way they restrained music in some of the scenes...

No one said anything about that show "Good Doctor"....

You said: *"I'm sorry, but do you expect me to believe that somehow doctors, nurses and singers are more important or better than sex workers or addicts."* Um. Yes. Sex workers and addicts aren't saving you from a covid death the last time I checked. Not only that, but there's precedent of casting minorities in unsavory/unseemly roles. This is one of the many reasons why minorities (namely Black Americans, practicing Muslims, Asians from all over, etc) have demanded fair representation over decades/centuries. Your commentary is usually intelligent, so it was jarring to hear that from you. Try not to be too woke...

Dear goddd! I think her research may have shown her people with autism and sensory needs that relieve deep pressure and assumed this was restraint. Omg. Deep pressure is something someone can seek out for sensory input to calm them but it's not meant to be restraining!! Ahhh

I think this is a very informative video and appreciate D'Angelo using his platform to bring awareness to this. I also wanted to suggest some FIpostrs who are autistic and have made videos Sia's movie. Category: OTHER has made multiple videos about the topic and voiced their opinion very articulately. tianasao really broke down the issues that the autistic community had with the film in a very helpful way. Paige Layle also made a very informative video!

She got the same backlash when she released elastic heart,she doesn't seem to learn from mistakes ,I mean own it and apologize,I'm a big fan but I'm disappointed

Im possibly on the spectrum and the Netflix show Atypical has helped me a lot, Ive rewatched it a lot. Main actor is neurotypical but plays a *person with autism so realistically most people have thought he is. To anyone whose seen it, I'd love your opinion.

I don't agree on that part saying autistic characters should be played by autistic actors/ actresses since this is what acting is all about, what makes you a good actor is how well you can embrace them and emphasize with characters regardless of their sexuality, personality, mental or physical disabilities or special abilites etc. The wrong part of all about this situation is nearly 100% incorrect portrayal of autism and mental disabilities, poor or amateur acting and almost zero effort put in to portray and learn about those characters and hardship they go through due to their disabilities and the embarassing stereotypes just as they do with LGBTQ+ or severely depressd characters for most of the time. And the way people try to cover for their mistakes is straight up cringy. When you are someone that big who is leading thousands and educating many without realizing, you should know better. You had many around who could/did(?) warn you and, you are hella rich so you could go see some therapists, psychologists who had been succesfully dealing with the problems of autistic people and had a reputation on that branch, or you could even interview autistic people's themselves. I get it, you were too full of yourself and your artwork or were busy etc. that you forgot to pay attention to the actual message and characterization. Then grow-up and apologize atleast, jeez

F U R Y

Cute Monokuma hoodie lmao 💜

Working in special education I can tell you that the head liason in my department does not advocate for restraints. She advocates for giving space, and evacuation of the room while we help to talk down the child who is going through a heightened emotion. I can't imagine restraining any of my students with autism, it would cause them GREAT distress. Jesus.

Poor Maddie.

Damn people. An actor can play any roll, they're actors 🥱

This dude has 2 channels?
