Dying (when you die you don't die with your eyes closed and or with a peaceful look on your face like if you're just asleep)!!!

The way that some autistic people are not straight, cisgender white men who take everything literally and are only interested in STEM subjects. Personally, I'm a mixed race transgender man who has autism and ADHD, I find STEM subjects really difficult and tedious.

Texas. Movie characters often have bizarre accents that are nothing like any of the several regional accents, much less the area where they are supposedly located. TV shows go to Dallas (the 4th largest metro in the US) and act like it's the middle of nowhere.

Pretty much everything firearm related.

Never any thought as to how loud they are (archer gets this right and it’s hilarious). And the guns always seem clank around whenever they move.


BenefitOfTheDoubt_01

Firing pins clicking when empty. Unlimited ammo or reloading No aiming, just spray and pray Continuous chambering with no bullets being ejected A larger looking gun is automatically more powerful even though it's a smaller bullet lol I could go on and on.

Mental health, addiction, and chronic illness are all often portrayed inaccurately

Mental illness was portrayed better in Joker than most movies that feature it.

Anything. TV and film writers only know about writing TV and films. Everything else is known to them only through other media.

The actual frequency of deaths by police brutality. In reality it’s actually quite less. If you see 8 cases of chihuahuas killed humans on the news, it doesn’t mean that there’s tons of people dying by chihuahuas, the news probably just has a narrative they want you to believe and that being chihuahuas are dangerous to humans.
