When I say "I'm rooting for everybody Black," I mean I'm including Black people who are usually overlooked outside and within the community. Black people whose Blackness becomes conditional the second they confront other Black people about bigotry within our community (Transmisogynoir, Transphobia, homophobia, ableism, sanism, etc.) not abusers and coons...

#thotty speaks #thotty rants #its solidarity this and solidarity that until a Black person who has delusions tells you that saying shit like 'delulu' hurts them #Black solidarity until its time to make a joke about famous abuse survivors #Black solidarity until its time to discuss ableist language being taken as aave #Black solidarity until its time to listen to any Black person who lives at an axis of oppression that you don't then its fuck em right? #Then if they criticize you they cease to be Black right? #Its funny cause I never see yall take this same stance of conditional Blackness when it comes to abusers and predators #Yall can say 'they always trying to take down a strong Black brother a leader in the community' and the nigga you pointing has done nothing #but use his power and influence to harm people further marginalized than him and doing it all under the image of a 'Good Christian Brother' #I'm tired of yall I swear to God

It is very strange to me that there's this idea that open bigotry or otherwise abhorrent behavior becomes okay if the target is in some way acceptable.

Like ... bigotry towards or about people who are themselves awful, and/or powerful, and/or cringe, and/or older/younger, and/or public figures, and/or however you want to define them as acceptable targets, is still bigotry.

Your target may never hear what you say. But the people around you generally will. You're still adding to the bigotry that people witness and experience and which is just ... this miasma in the world.

I'm not saying there's no place for anger, confrontation, condemnation, harsh jokes, whatever—it's not that context never has any bearing on whether actions in general are right or wrong. But relying on bigotry to make your point is wrong without exception.

#normally i try to punctuate my posts with 'imo' or 'i think' or whatever #this is not one of those occasions #bigotry towards literally anyone is always!!! wrong!!! #yes even: #your fat jokes about 45 and your homophobic jokes about pete buttigieg #misogyny towards big name hollywood actresses and racism towards internet celebrities you find annoying #ableist jokes towards people whose medical histories you don't know but find kind of sketchy #i can go on! these are just examples of the manyyyyyy forms this takes #and it makes the world worse. thanks. #anghraine rants #rare breed of attack unicorn #but also just. everything. #discourse hell

Maladaptive daydreaming and autism are such annoying fucking things to have because you'll be friends with people and trust them and tell them about it and they'll say they support and understand you and then the second you do something they don't like it's okay to make fun of you for both of those things.. like if you're not gonna like me at least pretend it's because I pissed you off that one time bro

#ableism #this has happened one too many times #it's almost like this is why I have MDD #No but funny joke guys glad you keep blocking me before I can tell you how fucked up you are you ASSHOLES #At least i don't believe in the PARANORMAL #Sorry people who believe in the paranormal most of you guys are lovely I'm sure #chronic nausea #autism #then they make fun of you for being too sensitive when you call them out #but they're not ableist though guys. it's just a joke. and it's not even about that it's just me as a person like without the autism.

ok so i get that self-diagnosing has become quite normalized and its good for people to be aware of their brain but also like. you have to do your reading. you have to be self-aware. watching a few tiktoks about "autistic symptoms" does not an autistic person make. autism in the online sphere is so widely just accepted i feel that people have started to see it as this quirky fun trait that makes you cool instead of a disability. you can do what i want forever and ever, but as an autistic person who's questioning period was one of terror and desperation, if your first actions after seeing some tiktoks and doing a couple of tests online are to start making #autistic jokes, i dont trust you. especcially when you have also been super ableist towards autistic people as another result of tiktok being a really bad source for mental health information.

#reblogs off bc people might take this running and be really mean to me but its kind of stressful #tbf im having a very bizarre thing happen in my real life thats made me think sbout this but i do see it a lot #theres a lot of pathologising very normal behaviours as symptoms of Autism or ADHD #and then treating actually autistic behaviours as annoying and X Y or Z word implying abuse or selfishness #ive had this person in my life be fully ableist to me behind my back only to decide hes actually autistic now #hes already made gender jokes he hasnt got any place making about like transmasc names that are gross #after being treated the way i was ive been really apprehensive and i swg if he hits me with like #Haha im so autistic! #im just gonna beat them with balled fists like a wild ape #raven.txt

#0ne piece fans talk about zoro (and Luffy's tbh)'s intelligence and hygiene in a way that doesn't sound borderline ableist challenge #(failed) (impossible) (fuck you +'justification I don't care about' + 'sbs quote I don't care about' etcetc) #it's not even ABOUT HIM atp. just the way y'all talk abt that shit in a vacuum makes me so uncomfortable sometimes #like this is Tumblr entry level shit. lacking academic skills dosnt make you stupid and blanket judgement of poor hygiene (again. not talki #about mosshead specifically. I don't CARE about his workout routine) is a dick move??? #like y'all remember real people struggle w that shit for actual reasons right? #also I feel there's a level where the directionally challenged jokes just stop being funny #ppl have 5 jokes abt zoro: he's racist (be so fucking FR) he's directionally challenged. he's dumb. he dosnt bathe #and yet ppl are mad when s@nji haters refuse to see the nuance of sanji's character over his CANONICAL sex offender joke #like one of these is alot more justifiable imo #not that people like considering zoro's character on a deeper level anyway #just the same 3 jokes with a 'devoted to luffy' thrown in ever once in a while if Ur lucky #zoro fans may be 'annoying' and I can't talk on the front of dudebro's cause idk #but like. we're right I think. and also the only ones not so fucking mean to him all the time? #silly bullying between friends and actually not understanding his character or being weird abt his 'flaws' or whatever are completely #different things #also the z/s traitors... sorry but unless it's ooc this ship exists for s@nji

anyway in summary it's not enough to defend ranpo edogawa on the internet i need to start being able to get so mad lights start flickering like a person with telepathic powers in movies. every time i see a "26 but the 2 is silent" corny ableist ass joke i become a slightly more evil person

#and it isn't even just ranpo people do this to #being autistic in the bsd fandom will have you fighting demons trying to avoid the worst most unfunny ableist jokes abt a character #being neurodiv in this fandom in general really #being anything in this fandom really #here's looking at the people who make Those jokes about jōno #unfunny AND ableist pick a struggle #anyway

[clarabow-mp3]

when and how did we decide that saying anything negative about a disability is ableist. what's up with that.

#like acknowledging that a disorder has symptoms and those symptoms can have a negative impact on the affected person's life #is not ableist it's just true smh can't even complain about my own disabilities without some 'neurodiversity is a superpower' bitch #telling me off. don't tell ME how to feel about MY OWN illness. #actually the worst is people who don't even have the disability doing this shit that's actually what inspired this post #'people with adhd are impulsive' 'this feels ableist ://' girl it's a symptom. #ever notice how people who are so concerned with pointing out that saying anything bad about adhd/asd is ableist #and refuse to call anything 'crazy' will still make seizure jokes. isn't that crazy????????

[kitofawriter]

I work with older people who constantly make jokes about “being too ADD to have any distractions while working” and “oh I looked at my phone while working, I’m so ADD”. You know the kind.

Meanwhile, I, who am actively looking into diagnosis for ADHD because I’m 99% sure I have it, am listening to and singing along to FOB at 1.5x speed while writing paperwork because that is sometimes the only way to stimulate my brain enough to get it to focus on said paperwork.

#adhd #adhd things #adult adhd #suspected ADHD #they also make jokes about being OCD because they like things neat and I scream internally #tw ableism #tw ableist language #idk is ableist is the right term for those kinda jokes but I’m tagging to be safe

Internet historian stealing his scripts directly from articles is hardly surprising... god damn though

#ghostly posts #not a fan I'm just aware of how big the channel has gotten over the years #and all because of creative theft... #as in theft from creatives. not that the theft itself was a creative act because it wasn't #I love hbomberguys stuff though and I have since I actually checked out his channel like a year or two ago #really makes me think I should start checking scripts on videos every now and then #instead of going 'wow this narrative style is wildly improved from the last video I saw three years ago #and it doesn't even have any ableist or otherwise bigoted jokes in it this time!' #my first mistake. #<- talking about my reaction to that one historian video with the cave. you know.

also a special shoutout for real like wendy epic ableism moments when she stops talking directly to winston and expresses this is b/c he communicates too incorrectly (here too literally or whatever, once again whether he misinterpreted her or she misinterpreted him, it's put on him) and thus he doesn't deserve that

#winston billions #and i mean handshake with how winston's basically not considered allowed to talk at all by anyone out here #but like. alright we're not showing that winston is in the room mostly for a joke but even randos are like ''hmm. bit impolite'' lol #but once we do see him b/c he's speaking....like actually it Is heinously rude / diminishing / infantilizing to be spoken to indirectly #and The Behavior Is Inherently Ableist Here like ofc it's probably rude no matter what outside some kind of rly specific contexts lol but #that here she Is just implying he doesn't get to be spoken to b/c of some shortcoming / assumed lack of capacity #whatever she Does mean by ''see the matrix'' which is nothing but convenient vagueness abt Ability anyways #he's only here b/c she thinks he's annoying or w/e or otherwise extrinsically showing lack of value (can't be ableism there....) #and like winston and any other character is like. it's not textual sure but it doesn't need to be Textually Labeled #and sometimes can't be when ppl absolutely write based of ppl they know / encounter but don't know are autistic or etc #and that's how it works irl too. someone being Officially(tm) Autistic or smthing shouldn't be some necessary disclosure #b/c it's about The Underlying Principles At Play vs making some approved ''exceptions.'' if he's supposedly allistic it's still sm shit. #like how trans ppl & transphobia could exist prior to those terms even existing to be used. ppl are affected by them w/o being Out.... #& btw like ppl still saying some shit like ''some autistic ppl will just be Bad At / Have No Social Skills & you have to be chill abt it'' #like what does [social skills] mean here. what's the underlying element of socializing that they may do differently but you say is a Worse #or Absent version of the ''normal'' way of going about things. even if you actually get specific enough abt what a ''skill'' is; which is #gonna be a non universal non rule probably inaccurate idea of a Normal(tm) pattern of behavior/approach; sure maybe some ppl will struggle #to do that or largely/entirely not be able to do it / be unwilling to do it; gasp; what's its goal/effect & do they pursue/achieve that #another way. e.g how much AAC could be considered inherently ''bad'' re socializing or a lack of w/e ''skills'' or etc. #then like ok so once again a begrudging exception for autistic ppl is made. what's ''being okay with'' that even look like then? is anyone #gonna be using their ''good social skills'' to more successfully interact w/them? is Not socially excluding / ostracizing / punishing an #autistic person an Exception / something Extra you heroically do? e.g. & so what if some theoretical person isn't socially engaging w/other #ppl in any way. what do & don't they ''deserve'' differently from others b/c of that. #& anyways meanwhile they're certainly talking abt winston's Capabilities. but mostly talking around it b/c the point is He Gets Results & #will keep getting those results b/c why wouldn't he. but they can just cite anything to argue why oh but he doesn't Really have the value #cue vague shit like matrix refs b/c if he was Reeally talented we'd think he acts right. b/c Any bs can be said b/c winston doesn't have #the insulation or backup or ability to independently wield/gain social status his way through this shit. is only allowed to talk to #coworkers abt it by making it abt taylor actually (which is also true). still only makes it b/c rian is correctly remaining in the #acceptable range of being offbeat. so she already has more power than him & can choose to keep him around as that fun punching bag ig yay #then nobody cares. also he can't say he controls an instrument but Others refer to ''genius'' but negatively. wendy rhoades Would do ABA fr

Do you ever feel a pang of sadness that someone in your fandom is so insufferably intolerable for legitimate reasons when so many of their posts are genuinely funny

#husbandothings #this is about my secret sideblog's fandom dw #like i refuse to give interactions to this person's posts because i genuinely hate them for past actions #and making weird edgy e d jokes in a popular au of theirs in 2023 #like theyre just a dumpster fire who seems a bit hypocritical at times with their views on how to treat the characters too #and they've done some stuff which is kinda uhhh ableist towards mental illnesses #which tbh is the point where i had enough of their crap #but they still really have a following whilst acting like a cartoon mean girl

[denizenhardwick]

I can't stop thinking about Yusuke being reported to the Phan-Site because that was actually really fucked up. It was meant to be a joke, and the punchline was that he's weird so the report was understandable, it was just a misunderstanding, but that's literally a thing that happens to neurodivergent people in real life and it's puts us in danger. I myself nearly spent the night in juvie when I was eight because someone called the police on me and I acted "weird" (autistic) when they talked to me. But hey, isn't Yusuke weird and isn't that funny?

#p(s)5 me boy #like. one of the main characters experienced an act of ableist violence and it was played as a joke #i don't like that futaba's arc was about making her more 'normal' either and we seemingly cured her psychosis #i was. pretty hyped that one of the main characters was gonna be psychotic but then she just stopped hallucinating #and you can assume it's because her palace disappeared but it literally has not been addressed #so idk actually maybe she still has hallucinations it has literally not been mentioned
