The amount of Eva hate I've seen is ridiculous and it's mostly for the wrong reasons. The fact that this is how the first openly autistic player gets treated is not a good look. It's ironic that those same people like to downplay her struggles.

Personally I feel bad for Eva. The editors really made her story entirely about her autism. It is a major part of her life, but she was never on screen without it being brought up. It’s not I don’t like Eva, I just wish I got to see anything more from her personality besides her having autism (which again, is on editing, not her)

Idk if I agree with this, I think it's fine/inevitable for her autism to be a major focus of her edit and it didn't feel like too much to me. I feel like you're exaggerating a bit as she did get plenty of content that wasn't about it.

I just wish I got more. Her autism is clearly a major part of her life, but it is definitely not the only part of her life.

The problem is that she was objectively carried to the end by Joe and Kyle, but she got so much screen time because of her autism that it felt overblown. It was the attempt to tell more of her story which ultimately backfired in my opinion from an edit perspective. That and there is a slight amount of ableism added. I can also admit that the hate is extremely overblown and sometimes cruel for what it is.
