Yknow i think that if they made House slightly more empathetic to the average joe his character couldve done wonders for the rights of people with chronic pain re: getting the medication they need without being labeled as drug seeking or addicts

#mafa talks #house md #a lot of his vicodin addiction character arc has to do with addiction despite the fact that he is better off with it than without it #due to his pain #and they make him very very unlikeable for someone who doesnt already have a predisposition to empathize with him #specifically because he needs to be an antihero like i get it #but still theres so much potential there #for a show that was surprisingly progressive for its age it couldve gone the extra mile there #also i understand him. if i was in chronic pain in a job gilled with neurotypicals who think im a junkie little shit I'd be an asshole too #high empathy low sympathy autism gang
