In my first post about Season 2 of FX’s American Horror Story, I was rather pissed because the producers chose to portray the character “Pepper” as a murderous deviant, as opposed to being honest by displaying the true horror of the times, individuals affected by physical and psychological disability were institutionalized because of their disability, and appearance and never treated.
I like the character Pepper, I wish she wasn’t portrayed as a killer.
The “REAL” Pepper - Schlitzie was not a monster,or murderer. People affected by neurodevelopmental disability are unfairlyportrayed in the media. Schlitze was male. he was loveable and harmless as you see in his appearance in the 1932 movie: Freaks.
