The Proud Family, Colorism, and Autism - The Bebe Episode was not it

A review from a Black autistic person of "Bebe" the Proud Family: Louder and Prouder episode that focuses on autism.

My word is still only one perspective and shouldn't be taken as an authoritative view. I didn't like this episode but other Black autistic people have every right to their perspectives as well. At the end of the day I'm just some guy, y'know?

The Proud Family is still colorist af though.

Some Excerpts:

I try not to be too hard on the original Proud Family from the early 2000s. It was one of the few and earliest Black cartoons that existed at the time. There weren't a ton of shows that featured a Black girl as a protagonist. So while it had issues of colorism and not sticking the landing with a lot of its executions, that doesn't invalidate the times it made genuinely positive moments and gave something of comfort and love for Black viewers, especially Black girls. I never got into it myself, but I recognize that it does hold a good place in the hearts of a lot of Black viewers.

Colorism is in a lot of Black media. Living Single, The Boondocks, Coming to America, My Wife and Kids, Black-Ish, literally anything coming from Chris Rock, you name it.

So in talking about the framing for Bebe's autism, we have to reckon with how the show utilizes colorism in how it frames what it deems the right or wrong opinions. It's arguably even done with Bebe himself and Cece. Oscar, Maya, and Dijonay are all frequently awful people throughout the show, but we shouldn't leave it at that. We should remember how the show uses that to direct the viewer on how they frame the conflicts.

So there are moments where Maya is an awful friend and one who needlessly condescends to the people around her, but it's important to think about the framing and not the depiction in how we're meant to think of her as a person in intentionally portraying her that way.

She contributes to another in the line of characters who ultimately stand for some kind of revolution, activism or change who are then revealed to be fake, elitist, and angry.

 Light-skinned women can be portrayed as awful but still will use dark-skinned women presented as "unladylike, often compare them to beasts, portray their fatness, their textured hair  as undesirable and gross in a white gaze. It's used to impart the idea that the traits I just listed are revolting and a reason to deride these characters.

This isn't really an episode about Bebe, and like many things autism related, we have to center everything entirely around the family members of the autistic person. Penny having all of the labor in childcare thrown onto her is obviously bad, but it takes a different context in how that's used alongside Bebe's autism diagnosis in how it's framed  around relieving Penny of a burden and how the narrative sets Penny up to be as sympathetic as possible in that regard. Penny's parentification is a major issue throughout the series, but it's also very intentional that one of the few times the show ever challenges the idea that it's okay is also in the episode where her brother is diagnosed with autism.

 Because they chose an infant to be the autistic character, Bebe isn't able to communicate his feelings or perspective to the audience. It allows everyone else, most notably Holly Peete's character to shape Bebe's narrative and center themselves in it.

The episode ends on a shot of the children all playing. As the door shuts, they're revealed to all be flying and have super powers, alluding to the phrase "autism is a superpower" which it is not. Autism is a disability, and it's okay to call it that. Disability is not a dirty word.

Mr. Stern spanking Trudy and Sunset from Proud Family. I put up a poll a while back asking with moms people would like to see punished by Mr. Stern, and they pretty much won in a landslide lol. I meant to write a story for it (and I’ll probably still do it eventually) but it’s been sitting for a while so decided to just throw it out there.

Propaganda Under Cut:

Trudy Proud (Mother of Penny, BeBe + CeCe): Recommended by yens-sids-tournament. The level headed one of the family. Often caring towards his children.Possessive of her children.

Hera Syndulla (Mother of Jacen and Mother Figure for Sabine Wren and Ezra Bridger): After meeting Ezra she developed a motherly bond as she had with Sabine Wren already. Both Sabine and Ezra would both come to her for advice and training and support. Despite her mission when Ezra was being tormented by visions she wanted to cancel it. She trusted in her son's powers even at his young age.

So, I decided to binge watch some old episodes of The Proud Family last night (because nostalgia), and…is it just me, or was Oscar and Trudy’s relationship kinda toxic?

I mean, Oscar would frequently make misogynistic remarks about Trudy (for which she rightfully calls him out on, again, very frequently). And he’s also very unfaithful to her whenever another attractive woman crosses his path. Plus, he’s rarely ever supportive of her, like in episode 4 of season 1, where he flat out refuses to go to the veterinarian award ceremony with her, and ends up getting dragged over there anyway.

Of course, Trudy’s not perfect either, since she often takes advantage of Oscar’s finances, and uses violence and aggression to get him to do what she wants.

So yeah, Proud Family is still a great show (and I haven’t gotten around watching the reboot yet), but Gomez and Morticia those two are not.
