Right neither does the game. You either went out of your way to miss a ton of stuff or you’re cherry picking on purpose because you didn’t like it.

Which is like fine? I don’t care if you like Veilguard Oriigns is still around. Though when people say DA is dark fantasy I don’t know how you got there. Is it the sexual assault? Like it wasn’t even dark the first game you should try Warhammer for that if you haven’t.

“Veilguard refuses to address why the Veil needs to stay up.”

No. It does. We’ve been addressing it since Trespasser. Literally the plot of the game. It’s the whole reason we’re here. The Veil stays up cause Solas is wrong to want to kill innocent people to fix his mistakes instead of letting the people of Thedas take care of their home themselves.

Solas isn’t the main character of Veilguard, or Dragon Age. Signed,

-A Solavellan shipper who cares more about the lore than Solas because I know what franchise I’m playing.

Non-disabled, not chronically ill person: *feels sick, stays in bed*

Everyone:

Chronically ill person: *feels sick, stays in bed*

Everyone: LAZY PIG

You know what no if you refer to Curly as crispy, barbequed, bacon or any other ableist words in terms of his burns I'm legally obligated to kill you with a brick

HSN autistics have interests and personalities. we're looked at as if we just commit nonsense.

I'm mostly talking about level 3 autistics. I'm a level 2 M-HSN autistic but I see the way people look at my classmates who are level 3. and I also see the way people look at me when they become aware of how much care I require.

Needing more care or having different or even a lack of understanding of communication does not mean we don't have preferences. "Mindless babbles" sound a lot more like communication when you LISTEN.

You see me stimming and using my AAC device, you hear me quietly yelling non words. so now I am not interesting. I am not interested, either. thats what leople assume about HSN autistics. that because we are different we don't have care or things to offer up.

I have interests. I have hobbies.

And so does that level 3 kid in the back of the SPED room being neglected.

Stop dehumanizing HSN people. and I know I don't even have the worst of it.

What pisses me off the most is that she used the r-word to somebody that isn't even disabled. Like, bro. You know that there are many Ttte fans who have autism, ADHD, etc, who do have these conditions for real. (My school has labelled me as ASD in a program) That is an offensive word to us and DON'T you try to do that again.

Fucking shit, this woman literally acts like a toddler and starts beefing with minors for no reason.

If you DARE try to put my mutuals on that list: Get out of this fandom and never come back to the internet, ever.

Okay, this shit has gone way too far

you've probably seen these posts going around

Well I've decided to adress these claims

TW: mentions of harrasment, mentions of the Palestinian genocide, slurs and ableist language

Unfortunately, these are all lies

Angry doesn't even begin to describe how I'm feeling rn

Not only are these people spreading lies and misinformation, they are also setting me and these people up for harassment (some of the blogs mentioned are run by literal MINORS). Not to mention that sone of these blogs (including mine) have NEVER interacted with Nirmal before.

Also it's so funny that Nirmal claims that SHE'S the one being harassed when she's out ther calling people literal SLURS (last time I checked, she called Senja an "r-slured cunt who assumes things'').

On top of this, she spreads misinformation about asks from Palestinians, claiming they're "scams". First of all, how does she even know that they're scams? Second of all, why would Palestinians send these asks just to scam people. I highly doubt victims of the ongoing genocide would beg for money just for ✨funsies✨. Not to mention her overall shitty behaviour.

So there. I really do not appreciate lies being spread about me and my friends. I genuinely hope people see the truth.

(Also PLEASE do not harass any of the blogs mentioned. Just block and move on👍)

Saw a thread on Twitter of "gifts to give a person with ADHD and autism" that was full of stereotypical and quite frankly patronizing items, so here's a list of I (autistic individual) want instead as a gift

Money

Fourteen billion dollars

Free coupon to kill somebody with my teeth

Suitcase full of money

Cool looking rock

Scratching post for me to sink my claws into

An albino elephant

The head of Jeff Bezos mounted on my wall

Uncooked rice

A cup full of blood

100k in cash

Just a reminder that people who still live with their parents as adults deserve respect and for you to stop being ableist. There are multiple reasons someone could still live with their parents! From invisible to visible disabilities, finance issues, and more!

Stop using the “well they’re gonna turn into a creep living in their parents basement” punchline! It’s disgusting. STOP. BEING. ABLEIST. STOP. FORGETTING. THE. POOR.

• Fidgeting and stuttering do NOT always indicate that someone is nervous.

• Avoiding eye contact does NOT always mean someone is lying.

• Having a hard time focusing does NOT always mean someone is lazy.

• Carrying around a stuffed animal or blanket does NOT make someone childish.

• Poor motor skills is NOT a direct indication of intelligence.

Not everyone fits into your box. Deal with it.

If you say that you're useless and unlovable (or whatever else) because you're disabled, you are still saying disabled people are useless and unlovable.

"but i don't think that about other disabled people, it's different with me"

First off, that is incredibly self centred. You're not special. You're a disabled person just like all the other disabled people. You're not any different. Second, you're still saying being disabled makes someone unlovable. Why do you think that isn't ableist?

Somehow unpopular opinion: internalized ableism is still ableism.

In case anyone thinks this type of sanism doesn't happen on Tumblr

So much of what society treats as a joke is just mocking disability. Their idea of lazy is a disabled person trying to survive, whether that be living with their parents as an adult or using pre prepared food. Cringe culture is based entirely around mocking neurodivergent people and their interests. Symptoms and characteristics of disability such as urgency issues, drooling, tremors, tics, strabismus and speech impediments are used as cheap punchlines.

In children’s tv shows disabled characters such as those with speech impediments are treated as a joke, with symptoms of disability being portrayed as synonymous to stupid.

This idea is being taught from a young age in the media and it’s engrained into our language and culture. This goes beyond jokes, it contributes to the alienation of people with disabilities.

Once you start noticing these things you realise how constant and normalised it is.

Reducing an entire person to a punchline is wrong. Using a disability symptom as an insult is wrong. It’s disturbing how normalised it is to not treat people with basic decency and respect.

Was watching a documentary type thing with my parents today and one of the scenes showed an athlete visiting some school thing specifically for autistic children.

The entire time, they were shedding light on how hard it was for the parents living with an autistic child, how exhausting and how shameful it is.

Not ONCE did they acknowledge what it must be like for the child to live with autism. They were offering all this support to the people around them and none for the child whatsoever.

Fuck “autism mums”. Fuck parents who make their child’s diagnoses and issues all about them.

Moonpaw discourse summary

[love-me-love-my-weirdness]

“Don’t let your disorder define you”

Okay but do you support the people whose disorders do define them?

Do you support people with the chronic illnesses who have had to develop whole lives around their conditions? Do you support the intellectually disabled people whose whole way of thinking is defined by their disorder? Do you support the people with personality disorders who literally have a disorder as a personality? Do you support the autism/ADHD people whose disorder you can’t separate from who they are? Do you support the DIDOSDD people who have multiple definitions of themselves because of their disorder?

Or are you just saying that because a disorder defining someone means you can’t ignore it.

People seem to think this is fake because it's written in English. Apart from the racism in believing that Arab doctors and nurses aren't fluent in English (a second or official language for half of Asia), Palestinians have deliberately been addressing their audience in English on every social media, from journalists to children, because they know speaking English to Westerners immediately makes people more human in their eyes. Because language is one of the ways the imperial cultural hegemony conditions us (yes, everyone in the world) to see who qualifies as "people" and who are simply a mass of bodies who were always made to suffer and die. Gazans know this deeply, which is why they have been using English to beg and plead through social media, "We're not numbers! We're not numbers! We're people like you, we speak your language, we deserve to live!" all the while they're systematically slaughtered.

Israeli forces also encircled Al Shifa Hospital yesterday and bombed it for several hours while shooting dead anyone trying to flee including medical staff moving between buildings. Not sure whether it's still continuing because WHO lost all communications with its staff there a few hours after. The last new report said that thirty-nine babies had been removed from the incubators before the power went out. It's extremely unlikely they will survive.

Please understand that these atrocities depend on the war of attrition between governments and public attention. The momentum of public outcry is difficult to sustain through repeated stonewalling and bureaucratic intractability. When we're flooded with these reports and a sense of futility and despair replaces the anger, it allows compassion fatigue to set in and the violence to become normalized. Massacring hospitals, killing sick children and openly targeting humanitarian aid workers (Netanyahu just declared the UNRWA is in league with Hamas) will become simply more news articles that fade into the background, and open genocides will soon become part of the "lesser evil".

Take care of yourselves how you can, take distance where needed, but please never tune out and give up on the two million people for whom we are the only witness and hope. Never stop boosting and sharing the news and posts you find, never stop getting out there and joining every protest you can, however small. Anger burns out, which is why activism must depend on an immovable sense of justice and uncompromising value for human life. It's not just about Gaza, it's about the kind of evil our generation will be coerced into accepting as unchangeable and inevitable hereafter.

the concept of a freakshow never fully went away. nowadays people collect posts/screenshots of disabled/mentally ill people literally just Existing Online and put them on their accounts with the intention of displaying them for people to hurl abuse towards. And they think that this is a Normal and Moral way to behave and carry themselves.
