Episode 30: Gasolina

from Literary Demerit · host Siobhan and Kester

Part five of Dirty Laundry is a bit shorter so we decided to cover it all in one go; however it does contain two particularly noteworthy scenes, including the (allegedly) the most controversial scene in the fanfic, which we’ve got way too much to say about. Many others over the years have also had a lot to say about this part of the story, which means it’s time to revisit the Fanlore article in our closing segment! Content warnings: this chapter we’re focusing pretty heavily on the ableist treatment of this story’s token autistic character, and we also go over the (in our opinion, justified) accusations of racism and ableism directed at the author in the closing segment.
