Does anyone else get uncomfortable when there's stuttering in films/TV? I just recently watched The Last Jedi, and for those of you who who haven't seen it (don't worry no spoilers) there's a minor character who has a stutter and every scene he was in made me super uncomfortable. This happens for every single film or show that portrays stuttering and really kills the enjoyment for me. Just wondering if there was anyone else that felt this way.
