In which again trying to learn a language to better yourself or make yourself more cultured is shit upon by gatekeeping, patronizing, tumblrtards "on their behalf". The lack of self awareness how treating the blind/deaf/non-english speakers like children is dehumanizing is fucking astounding, but I wouln't expect anything less.

I'm glad to know I was extremely rude when I learned Braille to write to my blind grandfather. He must have hated getting cards that he could read himself, instead of having them read to him!

This... isn't what ableism means. And some bodies are technically better than others too like isn't this just a fact? I'm pretty sure my body is doing way better than those 600lb people that appear on TLC

These people tend to confuse disability with a person's personality/humanity. People aren't their disabilities.

this is like how tumblr likes to talk about 'classism' as snobbery, as if poor people's biggest problem is that people, idk, make fun of country music, and not being poor and all the real quality of life issues that come with that.

they got called out for it:

i think 'the idea that some bodies are better than others' is actually way more applicable to racism, because while some ethnic groups/races may have evolved to be better at certain things--like how sherpas can breathe in less oxygenated air or white people can drink m.ilk without getting sick--for the most part, it doesn't matter. and it's often kinda arbitrary, like how a tan guy named angelo didomenico is okay but a tan guy named khalid hussein is not. making things racially equal means giving non-white people the same thing as whites: there's no reason a black guy needs a different water fountain. but accommodating disabled people does mean giving them something different--like a lower height water fountain, because someone in a wheelchair can't reach a normal height one.

by the way this person's about page says
late-20s, white | queer, disabled | married, polyam | activist, they/them

Should change their description to "I want to cheat without guilt/feel inadequate for my husband (in r/poly fashion), write long-winded rants on tumblr treating the disabled like stupid children, and think my tumblr posts of keyboard warrioring count as "activism"

In my long mental list of 'communities that deserve a thread', extremely online disability activists would be one of them. The majority are upper middle class people with fairly mild mental conditions. Autistic activists will attack anyone who says raising a severely autistic child is hard.

Not a post, but a username. They say things about not judging books by their covers, but I feel like this is one that's justified.

People with pride flag icons in general usually post dumb opinions, but those with lesbian icons are the worse, especially if they have a character whose a straight male on it.

I searched around and didn't see any sign of the Twiggy and Jamie wall of text on these forums, and lots of Tumblr blogs are disappearing, so I thought I'd pastebin this post for safekeeping. It floated around a lot back in the day when it first appeared. The tl;dr is that some "trans, non-binary, queer, intersex, neuroatypical and mentally disabled, Mad" person let two SJWs move into their studio apartment, with hilarious consequences. Highlights include:

didn’t ask before fucking (loudly!) while I was in the room, and spent very little time out of the apartment. They played music, video games, Dr. Who, My Little Pony and Sgt. Frog day and night, regardless of my sensory needs, because they couldn’t sleep and their needs came first...

...Eventually, I meekly consented to accepting incall tricks at the apartment...

...Twiggy sent pictures of slit wrists to a recovering self-injurer, and pictures of tortured animals to vegans. When a cop was mysteriously shot in Virginia, she set up a Facebook page of the dead cop as a zombie, and used it to harass the cop’s family, friends a coworkers, just days after the shooting had happened...

...Twiggy at one point stabbed Jamie; at another point, Jamie pulled Twiggy out of traffic, and Twiggy was so triggered by this sudden physical contact that she choked Jamie...

Pretty much all of the other blogs linked at the start of the post have disappeared, but I'm pretty sure Asher's blog posts were about the time Jamie anally raped him.

I agree. That's the ones I always look for when I wanna find stupid shit to read.

I've seen this user in particular and reading some posts for a while to know they're so obsessed with fighting against ableism or something that they see it everywhere. Particularly they complain a lot about a show they claim they like (i've never watched it) which the name is TAZ and seemed to complain about a character named Thacker that was, according to their anonymous asks, possessed by demons or some shit and was like crawling the walls like some spider-demon and she was complaining about using 'disabled imagery' to scare people.

She also always tries to make descriptions of her photos so blind people can read her blog which probably no blind people do anyway and complain about people that delete the caption for aesthetic purposes.

I actually could see blind people being TAZ fans because it's a podcast, so it's audio only, but why would they care about fanart? Accessibility captions makes sense for images that are important and mostly text based, but I really don't see what a blind person would get out of a fanart description.

There is something called alternative text that provides a description of what an image is supposed to be when the image doesn't load. This is genuinely useful for a lot of reasons, and a screen reader reading these for the blind (or any other reason) is a legitimate use of text. It's just polite to add it to a website. What's crazy is that this person thinks that any blind person would EVER want to read all the nonsense on their blog, including the images, or that enough blind people would attempt to use Tumblr's primarily visual platform in such a high amount that they wouldn't have already found a workaround for this kind of thing.

Sure it's inclusive, but to what end?
