It's so clearly visibly designed by able bodied people for abled bodied people but marketed to able bodied peoples warped image of how disabled peoples bodies work

It's also being demonstrated by able bodied people without a single disabled person in sight

Broke: The reason Yomi is such an asshole is because he is a mental delusional narcissist sociopath schizo psycho . Which is proven by him Acting Weird and also being evil. He had no agency he was just mentally ill which is why he should be tortured to death because nothing else will fix his melted brain

Woke: The reason Yomi is such an asshole is because of the conscious actions he himself chose to take which was made possible by his unreasonable amounts of power and influence disproportionate to his actual competence

Bespoke: Discussions of only Yomi's character just in and off itself focusing only on how he is the unique evil in the whole of Kanai Ward miss the point severely by attributing the faults of an entire huge company and government which have been consistently screwing the city over since a very long time to just a single guy. While he is definitely a part of it, it is incredibly annoying to see him be treated as the sole reason as to why everything bad ever happened in Kanai Ward, when it was countless other factors too before he even entered the picture five years ago in-game

Stroke: The reason Yomi is such an asshole is because many years ago an immortal sentient fungus crawled into his brain and started speaking to him like Venom. None of his actions are actually his own it's the spores taking control of his nervous system and using him as their homunculus flesh puppet

Karaoke: Yomi was never an asshole Yuma just made all that shit up for attention. He's an unreliable narrator and was purposefully overdramatic in his recollection of events so people would feel bad for him

Artichoke: The reason Yomi is such an asshole is because he was just pretending to be one and was just pulling a really big prank on the Master Detectives. All of Kanai Ward were in on the joke and just acting like they were upset

Oversmoke: The reason Yomi is such an asshole is because he is not a real person Makoto made him up for shits and giggles. All the times we've seen Yomi in the game was just Makoto changing clothes and moving really fast which is why it looked like they were different people but they were not

Coke: The reason Yomi is such an asshole is because he was written that way

Hello tumblr I heard you like changeling stories

Edit: If you want a physical copy of this comic!

[shiraishi--kanade]

Instead of trying to replace an ableist and incorrect usage of intensive though (e.g "the intrusive thoughts won tonight") to mean impulsive behaviour with the term "impulsive thoughts" (which is clunky because it obviously still draws from intrusive thoughts and is similar enough for people to not notice or know the difference, is still ableist as this is also a medical term, and self-contradictory, as any impulsive thoughts are not necessarily harmful in a way that works for the meme), I suggest we start referring to it as The Impulse. Capital letters and all.

Arguments:

- draws on the popular internet slang expression of The Horrors (unspecific but commonly experienced life struggles of both psychological and material original), and is therefore not connected to the ableist misuse of instructive thoughts;

- additionally, implies the existence of universal human experience with The Impulse, in a similar way humans universally can experience The Horrors, and therefore inclusive of all;

- also implies the existence of The Impulse entity which, according to individual interpret, can be anything yet immediately relatable to other people;

- is literally just funnier than both intrusive thoughts and impulsive thoughts in that context;

- sounds ominous enough to use in ominous situations.

Example of use:

"bro let The Impulse win 💀"

"The Impulse won tonight (dyed my hair at 3 am)"

"The Impulse telling me to call my ex [insert reaction picture]"

"can't let The Impulse win this one"

You can also smack at ™ there, implying that The Impulse™ is well known enough to be trademarked and widely recognisable, which I think is cool.

ok actually i’m not done w this yet

anon. you are being INCREDIBLY ableist and saneist.

““tw unreality” pushing it..” as a psychotic person, no it is not? unreality is a huge issue for psychotic spectrum people, because we CANT distinguish that kind of stuff from reality.

“tw chains” “tw running water” trauma and phobias exist. Trauma is a thing. Phobias are a thing. phobias are by definition irrational yes, but still, RESPECT PEOPLE’S BOUNDARIES???

so… you’re ableist! hope this helps anon <3

This take might be Too Hot for The Blog™ but i honestly think that a lot of trigger/content warnings are super unnecessary. Some of them are valid like "tw abuse mentioned" "cw flashing lights" "tw spider" yeah sure but like. "tw unreality" pushing it.. and then there's super unnecessary ones like "tw chains" ??? Tf?? "tw running water"?? Like if u can't handle water sounds I just don't think u should be on the internet sorry.

You know those teachers who would have posters in their classrooms like “weird is a superpower” and “in a world where you can be anything, be kind” then would proceed to scream at a neurodivergent child until they cried.

[impperfectcritiques]

There's a lot of micro aggressions with Mammons character, not only to fat people, but towards ace/aro spec people and nuerodiverse people.

Hes shown to have a short attention span, and needing to use fidget and sensory tools, this could be a commentary in the over monetisation of fidget and sensory tools which cause them to be less accessible to those who need them, but with the lack of forethought with the writing and how Mammon behaves (the forementioned low attention span), it seems more a dig at people who NEED to use them, rather then people who use them for trends.

Hes almost always depicting eating something, which other characters react with disgust, frustration or uncomfortable which uhg. Honestly sets off my eating disorder with how its treated, so I won't go into it too much.

Hes asexuality was a last minute thing, and viv has stated before that she specifically believes that people are asexual due to being unable to love anyone but themselves with Alastor. This train of thought follows through with Mammon and Octavia also gets similar treatment with how the spindlehorse team treats her as a burden to stolas and a selfish kid.

Please share your thoughts with me ♡

Happy Disability Pride Month! This comic was never meant to be pretty or neat, but rather meant to tell my story with internalized ableism and dealing with medical trauma. It's a very personal story, and even making it was a tough decision, but I went through too much recovery not to do so.

A Homestuck-Themed PSA from the depths of 2007, left yellowed and crusty from years of being left buried in the dirt of forums and forgotten by the modern era, reminding us all to Be Fucking Normal.

[vancruejovi]

Thank you Danhausen, very nice (very evil)

[theswiftheartsystem]

I did the meme right? Right? I’m not hit with the memes, sorry if it’s not right, I thought it was funny 😔

[yourlowkeyidiot3]

I hate Jimmy just as much as the next person but can we not call him a narcissist, please let's stop using ableist language to refer to characters we don't like

[mxmorbidmidnight]

To disabled people: what is the ableist language you encounter most in your life?

• For me the word “special” has always sort of been a thing that people have used to imply insult towards me and others. I’ve also found it particularly demeaning. People often do not respond well to being asked to no longer use such terms.

• For my cane I am frequently called old and compared to an elderly person.

• The word cripple is used startlingly often in conversation. Many people do not realise this is a slur and something to be avoided. As well as handicapped, differently abled and similar words.

• Additionally the use of “super power” when describing disability is one that is “socially acceptable” enough to not be called out, therefore is disturbingly rampant.

• Most often I am called autistic as an insult, people in my generation from my observations will lean towards this option as well as frequent use of the r slur.

(This post is made for disabled people to share their experiences as well as to educate others on outdated ableist language)

Genuinely the blanket refusal for anyone to consider the existence to trans mascs/men, nonbinary people, and intersex people in the reproductive rights conversation is starting to piss me the fuck off. "Oh you never hear of a man going to the ER and people having to appeal to a council of men to save their life" just SAY you don't give a fuck about trans men, holy shit. They are seen as defective women by society and have to deal with misogyny AND transphobia when accessing reproductive healthcare, stop acting like they straight up don't even exist.

Also cis men DO have to deal with this shit. Disabled men have a history of facing eugenics and having their right to have kids stripped of them, and they ABSOLUTELY have to beg insurance and hospitals to save their lives. Did y'all forget about that disabled man who was left to die by a hospital during the start of the covid pandemic because his life "wasn't worth saving" like?? Disabled people legit had to constantly worry that if they got covid a hospital would just let them die, I was PETRIFIED of getting sick because of this. I remember spending hours reading the guidelines hospitals were following to decide who was worth saving and shaking and crying in fear because the system was straight up saying to my face that both I and people like me simply dont have lives that are worth saving. Right now disabled men in Canada are being forced to kill themselves because killing them is easier than helping them, y'all remember that?? You know fat men face systemic fatphobia that kills them when doctors refuse to treat them until they lose weight, yeah?? And we're well aware that black men die in ERs because doctors won't take them seriously, right? Right????

Jesus fucking christ y'all men are not the problem but so many of you are acting like they are to the point of erasing the very existence of marginalized men who are absolutely suffering and dying too because doctors don't give a shit about them. These men need support, just like women do, now more than ever. Stop fucking abandoning them because you think women are the only people who are going to suffer under Trump.

Woman good, man bad is a painfully reductive way of looking at the world and everyone perpetuating it needs to stop right fucking now. I'm not kidding, I am straight up running out of patience at the progressive left's willful refusal to recognized marginalized men as people who need help. Trump is going to hurt so many marginalized men too and idk how else to state that you should give a shit about them.

Like not to steal the Onion's words but I straight up don't know how else to explain that you should care about other people.
