#ableist comments

[mimikyu-chr]

if you say that someone’s disability is self-inflicted or that they make it worse because of lifestyle choices like smoking or drinking or not exercising, fuck right off.

my ex (who’s a shitty person anyway but that’s another story) used to say those things to me a lot, that i wasn’t doing everything i can to not be disabled so i deserved the pain i was in, i deserved to faint, i brought it on myself so i deserved it

what she forgot is that i was a cripple before i started doing those things. in fact, i sort of used them to cope for a while because my brain is Not Nice about me being disabled (it’s Not Nice about anything really, but this post isn’t about my brain)

so here’s your reminder that disabled people can smoke, drink, be ‘lazy’ and do whatever the fuck we want, and your opinion on it is bullshit. and if you’re disabled, here’s your reminder that you don’t need to feel guilty for doing ‘unhealthy’ things, we all have our vices, ways of coping and things we just enjoy doing, and anyone who shames you for them can go fuck themselves.

Guess what folks I got a new one to add to the list of things people say to neurodivergent and/or mentally ill folks.

So yesterday I said after making a few mistakes and being extra slow to process what I was doing "sorry my brain is struggling today"

And got met with "no excuses, just tell your brain to work"

I sure wish I had thought of that before getting hooked on a cocktail of daily meds 🙃

Fun times

If only it was actually safe to disclose, it's hard having to live hiding a big part of yourself that affects your everyday life and functioning

It's like shroedingers schizospec, where you exist simultaneously as "just lazy and making excuses" and actually suffering from a very real serious illness, but only you know the two options. Now forgive me for the clumsy analogy (I might need help in the notes to iron it out) but also we exist as (even after disclosing, i imagine) simply just "being lazy and making excuses", yet also a "deranged killer who most definitely wants to kill or harm you/other people"

And yet I feel bad for sharing what someone said to me irl - I shan't say any further details, just had to share this example of ableist comments (I think, I'm always a little confused what constitutes ableism, maybe it is because it's not believing the disabled about their being disabled) because it's so frustrating what we have to put up, all the unsolicited and terrible advice we get usually on the daily. I guess that's why it's hard to wanna leave the house and interact with other people, probably another huge part of why many schizospec are often prone to isolate ourselves. It's tiring constantly having to advocate for ourselves when noone else will or they're just not listening/don't deem our struggles valid

When it comes to talks of healthcare, talks of rights... They never fail to notice when I am out riding in my wheelchair, be it day or night... They never fail to approach, post-gawking randomly asking, personal questions – as if they are owed my time There I am curbside, crosswalk, waiting for the light, when I hear... “Awe, you're such a pretty girl... what happened?” I swear every time I hear a random stranger say “Oh my god, you're in a wheelchair!” As if this was a revelation I long to reply “Oh my god, you're wearing pants!” in the same tone as if we're playing a game called Captain Obvious all in hopes that if I respond to their absurdity with further absurdity, that it's jarring just enough, to make them think How strange it is to be invisible and yet hyper seen video description: I am sitting in my motorized wheelchair in my bathroom. You can see a hint of the black headrest behind me but that's about it you can see me kind of from the way stuff I am wearing a pink and red tie-dye dress with a red plaid sleeveless shirt dress situation red and black striped arm warmers a rainbow metallic turban with a big flower on the top & small satyr horns.

Every time a homophobe and biphobe post that the show is ruined because Buck is bi, Oliver Stark is living his best life, happy that he can finally play Buck with 100% honesty and joy. And knows that in doing so, he's giving a majority of the fans joy.

unfriendly reminder that using things like low IQ and difficulty with reading comprehension as insults isn’t the gotcha you think it is. using low IQ as an insult just shows how you equate ID with moral failing/human failing, similarly with those “reading comprehension on this website sucks” jokes.

i assure you, the troll you’re trying to epically own won’t care if you make fun of their IQ or reading skills, but the person with ID or another mental disability who happens to see your “joke” is now reminded that people see them as a laughingstock and not as a real person with real feelings.

i understand that many people who make these jokes have no ill intent and aren’t really thinking about the implications of their words, so im not trying to say you’re a bad person if you make these jokes, but i am saying you should reconsider your words and how they could actually affect someone else because ableism is ingrained in everything and it takes work to root out casual ableism in your everyday actions.

#🌌when the stars align ; reigns rambles🌌 #ableism discussion #this post is not directed at a mutual/friend/follower of mine #but it is directed at someone within the mogai community who i just saw make a very rude comment about IQ #made my blood boil because it was very blatantly ableist

'Everyone's a little autistic'

No.

Autism is a spectrum, yes, but that doesn't mean it goes from neurotypical to [ableist voice] 'severely autistic'. It's all autism.

Allistic people might experience or relate to some symptoms associated with autism (this is especially true for other neurodivergent people as there's often an overlap between the traits) but that doesn't mean they're autistic.

feeling feelings this morning about PJO being entirely built and founded upon representing students with learning disabilities and giving them the opportunity to see themselves as heroes. this is a book series about disabled kids. You cannot ignore that without ignoring the very core of the series. you can pry these books from my cold dead hands >->o

#pjo #percy jackson #riordanverse #i may complain a lot but do not be mistaken i fucking love this series with every bone in my body #also everybody who ever comments anything ableist on my pjo posts owes me a hundred dollars per word

When it comes to Penelope I feel like a lot of her fans take any valid criticism towards her and turn it into hate, which does her character a disservice. While some people do hate on her, a lot of it holds valid reasons. Admitting that she has hurt many people isn't wrong because she has, it's been shown on throughout the show and the impacts it can have. From labeling Daphne as "unmarriageable" during her first season and events that followed, her labeling Eloise as being part of a group of rebels, the terms she used to describe Kate [and Simon]-- which carried racial undertones no matter how you try to spin it, who didn't even know personally at that point, what she did Marina. All of these were very harmful and to say that none of these characters should feel angry, that they should just forgive Penelope without any work put into it is very laughable (especially because she's still writing as Whistledown and put many, namely women, at risk during a time where reputation is everything--something in which Penelope herself faces). With this being said, criticizing her actions, at least for me, doesn't come from a complete place of hate but more so from believing that she can be better if she puts in the work. By ignoring all that she's done and having her get her happily ever after so easily in the end, to be honest, would ultimately feel lackluster. I feel like she still has room to grow, but it will take a lot of work and, I personally, think seeing her renavigate who she is with who she wants to be outside of Lady Whistledown would be very interesting.

#bridgerton #penelope featherington #idk if this counts as anti but I'll label it as such too #anti penelope featherington #bc some people don't see it her referring to kate as a “beast” was wrong as hell and definitely side eye worthy coming from this yte woman #like she didn't even know kate and wrote that about her #and her ableist comments towards george were absolutely unnecessary as well #so deny that none of these things holds impact would be highly untrue and make the story very flat #i do think pen provides valuable insight to a different perspective of the ton and was helpful in eloise seeing a different view #so that's one [of very few] reasons that i think she should have a chance of redeeming herself #but that also doesn't mean that any of these characters should forgive her either #penelope stans and/or polin stans do not interact if you can't be respectful! #(also bc some people like to say “but the bridgertons are privileged and got their happy endings” #one just bc they got their happy endings in the end doesn't mean that what pen wrote didn't put them in difficult situations or that she #should be thanked as if she helped them [with daphne that was mainly her and her own mother's doing] #[for eloise that different bc it puts her and her family under political scrutiny as well bc do you honestly think being labeled as associat #-ing with rebels would be a good thing?]

As a disabled person, I'm so disgusted by what happened on the @whumptober blog recently and how they're trying to sweep it under the rug.

Discussions about AI aside, deleting replies from disabled people speaking out against the rampant ableism you're spreading and that is happening in your comments/reblogs, is so fucking gross and I can't believe they did that. Like, I used to love the whump community but now it just feels incredibly unsafe.

The whump community has always been accused of being ableist and I hate that now I can't even argue against it because some of the biggest names in this community apparently are really fucking chill with silencing disabled people for speaking out against that behavior.

These mods and anybody who is supporting that behavior can go fuck themselves <3

#whumptober #whumptober 2023 #not that them deleting all comments speaking out against AI scraping and rightfully pointing out art theft isn't also gross #or how they promised they would discuss it in the team and then ghosted everybody #like wow this is fucked up you're literally just deleting people who make a valid point about you spreading misinformation and ableist shit #real heroes #whump community you've led me down

So I started following this blog where the blogger posted aesthetic pictures and the like. It was all cool and great, until they rebloged a post that mocked people who research their mental illnesses without going to a therapist(like myself). It also said something like "u are mentally ill because u spend your time watching animes lol!". Which I found offensive. Do they know know hyperfixations exist?? Anyway I decided to check the notes. Full of radfems and a free blocklist for me! Yay. But to be safe, I decided to check her blog too (the blog I followed which rebloged the post). I think u can guess the rest, her blog was full of transphobia(honestly not surprised),radfems,anti kink posts and she had rebloged some "u evil porn addicts!!!!" posts. I didn't read all of that, only the 3 top posts and checked some of the other posts' tags. I really didn't want to block her by mistake because we were from the same country(it's hard to find other people here), But I had to. I didn't want this kind of things on my dash.

Why I wrote all that? I never saw a radfem before. I always saw posts that said antis and radfems are similar but I didn't investigate. My bad, I should have. So antis, congratulations!!!

Most of you are radfems without the transphobia! Please grow out of it. For your own shake.

the thing about the fob healing tour is that it has filled me with so much vindication that now whenever i see Bad Fall Out Boy Opinions (of which so many people are so unnecessarily loud about) it’s literally just like lol okay so you missed the point so bad it makes you look stupid and we are all laughing at you. get laughed at loser we do not have time to entertain your silliness we are busy healing and partying together forever.

#this isnt about anyone specific it’s about a lot of people on various platforms just so blatantly missing the point #1) if you arent a fob fan why does fob and their fans having a good time piss you off. #why does it make you feel the need to make some snarky comment about how Your Band Is Better like. bro you missed the point of BOTH bands #this is so sad for you #2) mania/post hiatus haters who claim to be fans lmao do you realize how idiotic you sound. get a clueeeeeeeee #3) i have chosen not to emotionally engage in polls here because all they do is bring out the worst in people #but also. be for real lmao. you can vote for what you personally prefer and just say that #there is absolutely no need to start cutting one of them down or mocking the lyrics #4) people commenting on joe and pete’s expressions and movements are either so uninformed it’s laughable #or are ​ableist or racist or both #ANYWAY. we have two shows left and i’m so excited for them and that is where i am investing my time and energy #and not engaging with people looking to stir shit up #or just generally bring down the mood #we are better than that.

psychotic people are allowed to have religion, psychotic people are allowed to have spiritual beliefs. if you're both psychotic and religious that's ok -- more than ok: that's wonderful! religion can be a beautiful thing, yours included!!

spiritual health is EXTREMELY important for humans to nurture. it'd be cruel to deny that part of life to a whole demographic. we are allowed to have lives!!!!!!!!!!

forcing us to indiscriminately repress every single instance of our spirituality without care, telling us it "must" be unhealthy as a preliminary reaction, or even joking that our spiritual beliefs are the reason we "need" meds/therapy/to be institutionalized are all literally examples of ableism. frankly, I don't understand how this isn't plainly obvious to nonpsychotics.

+ I'm saying this as someone who does have harmful religious beliefs as part of my delusions. I'm saying this as someone who does want to "cure" some of my beliefs away. I'm the stereotype these nonpsychotics are imagining when they deny us the right to religion. and still, though they can try, they can not deny me the parts of myself I want to keep; they can not deny me my religion.

#saw a ''joke post'' (read: a screenshot of someone making an ableist comment on a psychotic person's tiktok) and ooohohohoooooh #I'm so so mad again I HATE this website I HATE social media DIE DIE DIE #I was literally just looking for an excuse to switch tabs to neocities too and well. guess that was my monkey's paw lol #pseriouslypsychosis #actually psychotic #ok to reblog btw. I don't feel like I've seen this sentiment expressed v much tbh #anti psych #anti psychiatry #<- p sure the tumblr tags for those labels are a Mess but oh well

“Sorry, English isn’t my first language” Well it’s mine and I still suck at it so like. You’re doing way better than me lmao

#real life tbh #ESL babes you are brave and beautiful and just know i would never be mean to you #learning a second language can be so difficult and english can be especially daunting sometimes #but you're doing it! #and you're using it to comment on my fic which is THE biggest compliment because i know how scary it can be to be vulnerable #babe you came on my fic to tell me you liked it and then apologized for any errors #i'm of the belief that as long as your point gets across it doesn't matter what errors there are #it just seems classist and ableist to want perfect grammar and spelling from people

Do I want Buddie? Of course I do!

However, getting Canon Bi Buck has healed something in me. As a pan woman who didn't figure out she wasn't straight until she was in her late twenties, who has so many bisexual friends of many different genders, this was a huge moment for us.

Biphobia is a rampant issue, and in both the media and real life, they're often portrayed as hypersexual, cheaters, and/or just haven't "made up their minds."

But this is a win! We have a canon Bi Main Character on a hugely successful primetime network show! A network show that was canceled, picked up, and just after a few episodes on the new network was renewed for another season.

I think we all see parts of ourselves in Buck. He's a deeply complex character who wants to be loved and seen. And now, we'll have more people who will also see themselves in Buck and the rest of the shows characters!

Ableists, when I tell you I’m sick that doesn’t mean you’re entitled to my medical information. When I tell you I’m sick I’m not seeking attention. This is my reality, and it’s not my fault you’re too much of a baby to handle hearing it. When I tell you I’m sick it doesn’t mean I can “be healthy in spite of” my illnesses. Maybe go find a dictionary and look up what the words I’m using mean. Sick literally means “unhealthy.” I am not healthy. I can not be healthy in spite of this, and my moral standing has nothing to do with how I handle my illnesses. I’m sick every day. That’s my reality. Fucking deal with it.
