While I don't mind the "poor reading comprehension" jokes and there is something to be said about the reading comprehension overall dropping. I really dislike how it also became almost like an insult. I think an unintended side effect of "people on tumblr/the Internet have poor reading comprehension"/"piss on the poor" jokes is it emboldened some people to just be casually ableist and mock people with learning and intellectual disabilities.

I know the vast majority of these statements are either made as a joke or aren't ableist at all. But some of ya sound like you're one step away from mocking somebody for being "slow" and dropping the r slur.

#thylacines can talk #sorry if this is not very comprehensive my memory and reading comprehension get Especially bad when im tired. some of my sentences might get #completely fucked because i literally forget what i wrote earlier in the exact same sentence.#anyway yeah majority of what i see is fine. but some of the shit i read on here sounds like word for word shit ive heard from other kids #whenever they mocked my disability. but its not new people on tumblr very often pretend to be disability allies and then mock disabled #people. so im disappointed but not surprised.#(also if this god forbid breaks containment watch somebody talk to me as if im stupid with 0 irony)
