It resonates really strongly with queer and neurodiverse white people because the Incredibles are a minority nuclear family. That's common in immigrant and black stories, but not in queer or ND stories. So people can see themselves in the characters and explore those issues, without the movie telling them they have to be isolated from their nuclear family.

Your comment made me realize why I like that movie so much, I'm both gay and a tylenol american.

Syndrome is rich people appropriating queer culture. He's JK Rowling. He killed off real heroes so he could pretend to be one

it's a joke referencing the recent claim that tylenol causes autism. It's stupid, but I enjoy making fun of the idiots that made that claim.
