Eugenics is explicitly tied to the view of children as "things" that someone owns and controls, and until we do away with that idea, we can never be truly free of eugenics.
And that sucks, but there are a lot of people who claim to be anti eugenics who still very rigidly hold on to the idea of the nuclear family and the "right" to have a child, and that is not and never will be an anti-eugenics opinion, nor will it ever lead to any better conditions for disabled children.
#I'm just getting SOOOOO tired of the ways in which people speak on eugenics like it's some big bad boogeyman#And then openly say that disabled children are burdens that you take on if you're a bad person#Like someone on here genuinely honestly said and believed that disabled people should decide whether or not someone gets an abortion#in the event that the fetus is or could be disabled.#Like if someone's fetus tested positive for a genetic issue a group of people with that issue would vote on abortion#This person thought this was an anti eugenics opinion and not a deeply horrific and fucked up away to view someone else's body#Like that person said that someone who would otherwise want an abortion “deserves” to have a disabled child if disabled people agree#I actually think you're a dangerous person on par with a serial killer#That person defined themselves as pro choice bc words don't mean anything anymore#Anyway the problem that I have is how much people truly believe that selective abortion is bad but also that children are things#Like the universal human rights are rights to (clean) water (clean) food (clean) air (safe) shelter and (healthy) babies#That honestly genuinely cannot be more obvious#Also literally everything but children listed is a thing#These are all objects there is no way to put a child on par with objects and also say “defective” objects are bad#It's pretty easy to get that the right to shelter isn't going to include housing with inadequate air and water and also holes in it#It's pretty clear the right to food doesn't included diseased expired or moldy food#“Did you just compare a disabled child to moldy food? That's fucked up”#Yes! Because saying someone is entitled to a child the same way they're entitled to housing is DEEPLY fucked up!#You are not entitled to a child! Children are not “things” full stop and they aren't objects you need to live!#They are actual human beings with needs! Needs that you MUST meet or you can't have them!#Like on some base issue people can acknowledge that you aren't entitled to a gecko.#Like being able to pick up a gecko off the ground doesn't mean it should live in your house#But they cannot extend the idea of “reasonable environments” to children#Also STOP PUSHING FOR DISABLED CHILDREN TO BE IN ABUSIVE HOMES#Like I think my point got jumbled but the fundamental view of eugenics is that disabled children are “broken” and therefore don't have valu#Whether that's value in the nuclear family or value in society#It is simply not acceptable to say 1) “we will force you to value” or 2) No they actually do have value#Because the idea of “value” is inherently flawed and inherently BAD#Because the nuclear family is inherently bad as is capitalism#And I'm worried that y'all are trying to rehab the nuclear family and not destroy it and adjust capitalism instead of discarding it

Dosia 3, 6, 7 (as in, other children younger than him), 9, 12, 17, 18, 26, 28, 29, 30, 32, 33, 34, 42, 44, 49 teeheeee
Thanks for the asks @dullard, here you are!
3. Dosia is a very optimistic young man who always tries to look at the world in a positive way and not to give up. He keeps repeating the same thought: "I have no right to say that my life is terrible. I have a roof over my head, loved ones who care about me and goals for the future. Why should I be unhappy. Life is beautiful!" However, Dosia is unable to express his emotions normally. He is used to hiding all his insecurities, fears and pain behind a wide smile, he finds it hard to openly express his emotions even in the presence of his own owl mom/big sister. It's easier for him to accumulate it all inside until his guts are shattered.
6. His...huge... EARS. Sometimes he wishes he could get rid of them. He hates it when someone pulls on his ears, it's a very sensitive body part.
7. To be honest... Dosia is very afraid of children. He doesn't have hatred for them, but he feels like a fish out of water around them. But he would never hurt a child.
9. Fear of death
12. When people judge him by his looks.
He is a small fluffy cute harmless ecaflip, yes yes yes yes, but don't be surprised if he abruptly claws at your neck or strikes you with all his mighty hind legs
15. He chews on his paw when he sleeps...and he is a sleepwalker. Ro (his owl guardian) has gotten used to what he sometimes does in this state. Sometimes it's very funny and sometimes it's pretty scary. But it has become a kind of habitual action.
17. I think it is his unbreakable optimism and hope for a bright future, despite all the hardships and problems
18. His owl guardian (mom, big sister) Fukuro. They keep each other alive. They love each other very much, even though they are always bully each other (it's their thing, only the person who loves you the most can lovingly tell you: "Dosia, you're an ecaflip asshole" or "Ro, if you stay up all night again, I'll pull your feathers out and make earrings out of them GO TO SLEEP FOR FUCK'S SAKE").
26. Cheerfulness, goal-orientedness and cyclothymic disorder.
28. Anger. He is incapable of experiencing anger in the usual sense. Every time he encounters it, instead of irritation and aggression, he starts crying...and he hates to cry, but he can't do it any other way.
29. Ro, their new shared home (their small village and its inhabitants) and his book collection (he dreams of learning to write one day too)
30. His anxiety, insecurities and many fears. And also that he slept together with Ro in the same bed even after he stopped being a little bow meow
32. He doesn't want to think about it too much, it's painful memories for him (the death of his parents, wandering around the world looking for a new home). And it's never going to happen again anyway, right? Why think about it...
33. Friendliness, sociability, empathy
34. He constantly puts up with everything and tries to hide his problems (this brings discomfort not only to him, but also to his loved ones who worry about him). Dosia also gets jealous of his owl mom quite often and worries that others might hurt her. And...he has problems with personal hygiene (if he had a cat mom he could teach it properly, but his foster mom is an owl).
42. His looks, his high baby voice...and the fact that in his opinion he has become an disabling burden for Ro (he hates himself for it, seriously)
44. Fear... Fear of losing Ro. Fear that HIS life will end abruptly and Ro will have to live with it. Long story short, fear of death in any form.
49. He is proud that he is old enough to make his own life, to take care of himself and to be able to help Ro with whatever he can. Ro is the village chief and Dosia is happy to be her right-hand man.

do i really gotta explicitly say "what the fuck" and point out the sneering judgement and bigotry and self contradiction here? "i don't wanna be a cunt but here let me be a bigoted denialist cunt" isn't an excuse for acting like a cunt. "false dichotomy" as previously said is not merely a charitable view of this, it's divine grace.
op is displaying the christian "hate the sin not the sinner" attitude.
you're mad that some people don't fart sunshine, and you're pissed off they won't come hear your fucking gospel to be saved from their sins of....having human emotions and being factual about their own lives. you know, like fundy christians do to their children. smile and praise the lord for every test of faith he sends you, lest you be sent to eternal torture in hell!!!!! even they let people talk about their struggles though. you are literally saying no one can talk honestly while claiming everyone can trust you. like. how do you not understand you're lying through your teeth?
fundy attitudes be like that.
tldr you can't handle being told no and you think you're jesus. you have a serious problem. i'm not joking. stop proselytizing. it's rude.
why do you think other people have an obligation to be happy about their suffering? people who have the flu aren't sunshiney manic about it, they get to lie in bed and moan.
why are you so threatened by anyone who doesn't enjoy suffering? why do you think people need to be thankful for their suffering and never speak of or ask for help?
you do, like, understand that just because you enjoy your life with whatever disease, that doesn't mean someone else....has the same experience as you? then again you think you're jesus so maybe you do literally think you know better about other people's lives than they do.
is it because you think that anyone who's worse off than you is going to be used as a justification to take away your rights? is it because you believe that anyone who needs help is a burden on society? then because disabled people are inherently burdens, so the rent in exchange is shooting sunshine out your ass, or you lose your rights? so that people will...what...like you, and not feel like they can abuse you? because being disabled means people get to just hate you so it's up to you to mitigate that?
fucking fascinating.
it's literally called a DIS ability. lack of ability. and like, depression and anxiety are real things, real disabilities, you do know that, right? ptsd is a thing people kill themselves over. you can't "first step" your way out of that. let alone out of having crushing chronic pain and disabilities that ruin your life, or whatever else you seem to think people can just...magically pretend they don't have if they give it a cute name.
you're acting like the church shuffling its priests around. if you don't look at the problem then it doesn't exist, hmm? if you're hateful enough then everyone you hate will be intimidated into silence and you can pretend you didn't do anything wrong?
is that why you're so afraid of people who don't hide how miserable they are? gee golly gosh, it's almost like if we let people have rights instead of being hateful cunts to them and forcing people to suffer EXTRA, the world would be so much nicer.
people can't "just" magically make their suffering stop. there's no "first step" to that. it's...literally why it's called a "dis-ability". even if it's temporary like a broken leg. even if we later find a magical cure, no one is obligated to suffer in silence. you wanting them to hide it is for YOUR comfort, not because you're jesus making their lives better. you're not different from everyone who thinks disabled people are choosing to be disabled, and are just crazy drug seekers, because they're just SO FUCKING LAZY.
you can, however, "First Step" your way out of acting like a cunt. that's wholly a choice, it's not a personality disorder or mental illness. your choice to not respect other people. even disorders are capable of saying "yep that was wrong and i'm sorry".
this isn't "caring" or "patient", you straight out declared you're intolerant of anyone different from you. we call that bigotry, no matter what flowery language you try to dress it up in.
you're entitled to your own space and your own ideas. hug boxes and lack of negativity are not inherently wrong. they're incredibly useful for many reasons. you are not, however, entitled to bigotry and hate. you are not entitled to claim other people are less. you are not entitled to claim you're jesus here to save us.
fun little aside: the thing about jesus is that, in order to "save" anyone, first he had to invent sin and evil. that's called a snake oil scam. there ain't no sin if jesus didn't make it that way. almost like he chose to be a cunt for shits and giggles, hmm?
Oh hey if I'm on a Hot Take streak this morning
So I see a lot of shit for the uwuified mental health language like "neurospicy" on here, which I get
But at the same time, I know people irl who drop terms like that all the time, and they've also been the only people who I can openly and honestly talk about my real mental health struggles with when needed.
So not to stir the pot, but let me ask this question. Do you actually think that terms like neurospicy and "autism superpowers" and all that package are bad or deeply frustrating and shoving out your real mental health struggles, or are you just mildly annoyed by it and it runs rampant in your brain because you're so mired by negativity and are stuck in it so constantly that even the slightest indication that your life and condition might not be shit is so alien to you that you construct a hot take about it?
Btw, this is EXACTLY the same way I feel about relentless negative trans spaces, like subreddits that shall not be named. Do "hug boxers" and nondysphoric trans people actually erase your struggles? Or are you just so deep in your pit that the slightest indication of trans joy feels like intense cognitive dissonance to you? Because I my indication, those people have provided the best, most patient, and most caring spaces to vent my own frustrations.
Not to be a pot stirrer or anything. I'm not trying to pounce on or "blame" anyone for anything, and of course its difficult or impossible to get yourself out of that pit on a whim. But thinking and acknowledging is the first step.
