I have had it with people being ableist to Lance. I have had it with ableism being normalised in the F1 community by the fans by a certain driver. Like it literally permeates the sport, this is the third time someone has said something like this about Lance and you'd be a fool to think it doesn't bother him.
This sport is so toxic, steeped in misogyny, racism and ableism, and I don't get it. Where does the ableism come from?
P.S. I once read a post where someone said that the attitude of a certain golden boy shouldn't be judged because he doesn't act in a way that's Neurotypical and so he might be neurodivergent and so we're being ableist so we should stop. And people AGREED. Like that is what ableism is seen as, that is how things can become twisted by people so is it really a surprise that people on twitter say that and is it really a surprise that these opinions have been adopted by the masses, is it really a surprise that one of the biggest f1 drivers didn't get punished for ableism and now its normalised by junior drivers and fans. It's not surprising at all.
#methinks its that one driver who said it twice? thrice? and now no one gaf#f1#lance stroll#if lance ever dared to speak up about how people have been ableist towards him he would be relentlessly mocked#the way fans of a certain driver to THIS DAY defend his ableism and his refusal to apologise#and you're so surprised that attitudes like this can remain and be maintained#bianca bustamante#do yall kno how tiring it is to hear autism being used as an insult
