So I was subjected to watching The Peanut Butter Falcon a while back. A story about a guy with Down's syndrome who goes on a Huck-Finn-esque journey to fulfill some life goals and show us all how Down's syndrome people are just regular people after all.

It cast an actor who actually had Down's syndrome, and apparently Hollywood was very excited about it and it received a lot of praise for breaking stigmas and all the usual noise.

So what is the goal that this character has in mind? Does this particular sufferer of Down's syndrome just want a normal life? Does he want to just get a job to support himself and maybe a girlfriend and his own place to live?

Nah, he just wants to meet a semi-pro wrestler from his childhood a decade or more earlier. Y'know, just like every normal, average guy.

Then when he meets the wrestler, he actually gets to fight in a wrestling match where his opponent is supposed to throw the match so that he can feel good about himself. But damn, the opponent decides to not throw the match! Oh no, how will he win? With better wrestling moves or skill or wit or something? Nah, he just uses his retard strength (I'm 100% serious) to throw him out of the ring.

So a story that's 100% relatable to all us people with normal intelligence. Having a single-minded focus on some TV character from our childhood and then using our retard strength to win an amateur wrestling match. And this was supposedly a story that broke stereotypes!

TL;DR - Hollywood wrote a story to give 'positive' representation to retards and wrote a character with retard strength that was obsessed with amateur wrestling on TV.

To me it seemed like a story about 3 misfits forming a sort of family.

Oh sure, I'm just talking specifically about the Down's syndrome character's story arc, which is what made the movie stunning and brave.
