I'd say it's sadly real, I cannot count how many people I know talked shit about her when she became famous
How they felt the desire to discredit her because "she has autism", "she's only a child", "she doesn't know life"
The far right in France started calling the leftist as "antisemites" to discredit them too, so I wouldn't be much suprisedb if they're using the same rethoric
Shit was crazy, random conservative shock jocks and mainstream conservative politicians all over the world were losing their minds over this kid it was hilarious. It was so funny watching them just fucking PR faceplant over and over again when all they ever needed to do was just shut the fuck up about it and wait for her to disappear from the news cycle in time as she herself said she fully expected would happen. I'm pretty sure her continuing relevance is at least in part because of the Streisand effect generated from a whole international cabal of right-wing old men desperately trying to destroy this child and fucking losing hahaha.
