    Exactly! It’s the “keyboard” warriors who have nothing else better to do than to down someone who loves life and Disney. We live in such a world where people hate seeing others succeed, and Thomas has gained a large following and people can’t stand it. I’m proud of Thomas and his dad! He has our support!

      so it’s OKAY if the “boy” is autistc he can MANHANDLE any woman he wants teach him MANNERS

      1. J

        Clearly you don’t know anything about the relationship the cast members have with Thomas

      2. Davina

        He’s not manhandling anyone. The characters guide his hands to various parts of their costumes so he can explore how they feel. He’s a child in a teens body. Do not sexualize him or his actions.

      3. Maddy

        He doesn’t “mandhandle” anyone. He can’t use words to communicate and he was touching Moana’s necklace to silently ask her if he could look at it. Everything he does is innocent.

    2. Phillip

      I agree with you. No harm was done!!!!

    My heart hurts reading the title, how inhuman can you guys be. Please change it. Thomas is such a genuine soul. Don’t exploit the innocence of others to gain more audience . Imagine how the parent would feel. You guys are disgusting.

      Why are you going after a guy with a disability? He has done nothing wrong. You should be ashamed of yourself.

      1. CatLady

        He needs to learn to be ‘appropriate’ no matter what his “disability’ is that is WRONG to do in public otherwise EVERY guy can claim autism and grab any female any way he chooses

        1. Kim Manning

          You are aware that cast members have folks that watch interactions with folks and that if there was ANYTHING inappropriate, it would have been handled which there wasn’t!

        2. Diego

          You must know EVERY guy on this planet then huh Cat Lady? I think you need to learn the ‘appropriate’ way to reply otherwise EVERY feline pet owner will comment ignorant things.

          Hey Catlady, You know a person with a disabled neurosystem cannot work the same as ours right? Sometimes ppl with Autism like Thomas cannot comprehend things the same way we do. They sometimes don’t know what is right from wrong. And it’s a spectrum. Idk where Thomas stands on the spectrum, but my brother is on the severe side of autism, and unfortunately he doesn’t have the capacity to learn and understand. Does that mean he wants to hurt people intentionally? No, but he has with me and my family during his tantrums and you have to try to understand what can trigger/ease him. You need to do your research about how ppl with mental disabilities work bc they’re completely different from normal ppl who knows what’s right and wrong

          Hopefully with that attitude you don’t have any children.

    Very sad and unprofessinal to post something thats not true. Do better.

    Disappointing doesn’t begin to describe the situation here. Your original title of “Thousands Defend Autistic Disneyland Guest After Attack” was already sensational and not accurate at all (where, exactly, is the ‘attack’?), then you change it this and insinuate that multiple people consider Thomas to be a creep? Be better than that. Here’s a suggestion, “Disney welcomes people of all abilities, and their dedicated cast members know how to bring the magic to all of them.”

  5. Julie

    Y’all should be ashamed of yourselves.

  6. Meg

    Just for your research, the comments were not from “Disney fans” they were from MALES that are putting their inappropriate thoughts into a harmless Disney cast videos. Cast members/crew have replied saying that the autistic teen has not harmed or been inappropriate to the characters.

  7. Sarah

    This is incredibly ableist and insulting. Disney works hard to create inclusive environments and you ruined that. This person who has a love for Disney parks could very well have had that ruined by your cruelty. Whoever wrote this, you are absolutely the worst kind of Disney adult. Absolutely disgusting

  8. Paco

    YOU SHOULD BE SHAME ON THIS

  9. Jazminvelasquez42@gmail.com

    Absolutely low and uncalled for. You should be ashamed.

    #IStandWithJess as Katie Slockbower and Spencer Emmons express their dissatisfaction with Jess. Jess wrote an article alleging that they planned to visit Disneyland with Covid, a claim later confirmed by another vlogger. Jess also covered the altercation Spencer initiated with Justin Scarred during a Princess Nite event on Main Street USA, backed by video evidence and receipts. Stay in you lane BLAB.

  11. Jared

    you are a scared pathetic coward hiding behind a keyboard you tiny waste of space.

  12. Dania

    YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED. Tomas is so loved by everyone and all the characters enjoy his presence and we love his videos! This is what this world has came to without the lord Jesus Christ. Dark and evil

  13. Kelsey

    Thank u for wighting this there is nothing wrong with the way Tomis interacts we all understand life differently I hate That people pick on him jut for being him love to all cm who understand people who are different

    I don’t say being autistic they can get anything away, there’s always gonna be a right time and a wrong time. When there’s something like with a person who have autism, and do touch a Disney character, for sure it might be uncomfortable but I’m pretty sure they all know about Thomas, and have a some kinda understanding about autism. If people keep on reporting him, it’s not gonna do much, I’ve seen all his videos and to be honest, that’s a wonderful way to live, truly happy. And that’s why I follow him on his social, because it’s beautiful to see true joy in Thomas

  15. I happen to be autistic. It’s really cruel that America keeps picking on Autistic kids. As an asperger, I happen to find America don’t deserve to exist in what this country is doing to poor Thomas.

  16. Collin

    How very rude. You can’t be disrespectful to autistic people or anyone with disabilities. Thomas is a good kid. I’m autistic too and I have much respect to all the ones with Autism and disabilities.

  17. I used to be a celebrity look-alike for Mimi (The Drew Carey Show) and for anyone who doesn’t know her, she thinks she’s beautiful, but wears crazy clothes with feather boas and sequins and way too much makeup. She also loves troll dolls, so I wore a different one as a corsage/pin. I had all kinds of people and kids who loved the character but my favorite memory was a girl/teenager who was blind. She felt my costume everywhere including my eyelashes and troll doll and laughed out loud! She got a huge kick out of Mimi and it was a true pleasure for me, too. No one was upset or alarmed. Things have changed. Lighten up! It’s ok for EVERYONE to have good fun.

    1. Phillip

      Agreed!!!!!

  18. Cheryl C

    I follow Thomas. This innocent child is so loving and loved by all of the characters. They light up when they see Thomas. Whoever made disparaging remarks knows not of what they speak.

  19. Nickelus

    DON’T YOU DARE COME FOR THOMAS!!!
