i'm so tired, man. people really can and will say whatever the fuck they want about disabled people, go viral for it, and then act like you're a freak who just took a big shit in the middle of the floor if you ruin their fun by saying 'hey man this is fucked up.' they will then either have you harassed en masse, or disappear you entirely so they won't look bad to anyone observing who's not an asshole.

'ummmmmm go make your own post uwu' i am not a person with a large follower count whose Own Post is going to get tens of thousands of notes, circulate constantly for weeks or months or years, and encourage a deluge of similar posts all of which will treat people who speak up the exact same way, am i helen

what's one more sobbing breakdown aboutmy own imoending death this week fellas am i right

#death cw #ableism cw #personal stuff #venting cw #like. this is not just in fandom spaces either. it happens constantly on this webbed fucking site #in my experience the vast majority of the time to disabled people; abuse survivors; or both #fun fact you are not entitled to say whatever the hell you want and have people be cordial at worst to you about it #people are allowed to ruin the mood by going 'what the fuck is wrong with you' if you say they should fucking die #that is a mood that should in fact be ruined #christ #also as i mentioned elsewhere 'immortality bad because steal other people's life force' is like.#textbook blood libel but make it doomed-by-the-narrativecore #even before you go looking in the notes of that post and see all the people talking about their fun compelling worldbuilding #where the people stealing life force to stay young forever are the Rich Parasitic Elite Who Run the World #there's plenty of media i enjoy where that trope is present and is really shitty (dark crystal i love you dearly but yikes)#but we can maybe not like? encourage that? and uncritically make more of it? yeah?#anyway i pray every day for fandom to start bringing the same energy to Immortality Eats Your Soul!!! tropes #that it's come around towards re: Cybernetics Eat Your Soul!!!#both because there's fascinating conversations to *actually* be had there about the interplay between ableism and #beauty/''health'' industry ~living forever without aging~ fuckery #(spoiler alert: it uses a lot of the same fundamental logic as SFF Immortality Moralizing!)#(except it somehow manages to stop in a place that's LESS eugenics-y! which is really truly impressive!)#and because then maybe i'll stop seeing this shit on my dash constantly #and also because it'll be satisfying to watch people make fun of it lmao #antisemitism cw #the salt files
