Representation isn’t just about showing faces — it’s about telling stories right. Duce, Brandeezy, and guest J Pat dive into how neurodivergent-coded characters are written across anime, comics, and film. They point out when portrayals feel authentic and when they’re reduced to tired tropes. J Pat adds his perspective to the mix, calling out examples that work and those that clearly don’t. The balance of critique and banter makes this a thoughtful but still funny episode about diversity in nerd media.

Episode Highlights:

  • Best vs. worst examples of neurodivergent coding
  • When representation deepens storytelling
  • The danger of shallow stereotypes
  • J Pat’s takes on authenticity vs. exploitation
