#this is an extension of the discussion concerning tagging for scars in art tbh

[autopsiedsage]

this may be controversial ya’ll but I Don’t think we should be tagging curly as body horror in our art when he’s just. There. if we’re depicting curly super gory and what not, if we’re specifically drawing him stylistically dramatically injured hell yeah, but if its just a turn around? if we’re just making little posts of him hangin out, sitting down, chillin? I really dont think we should put body horror on that folks.

he’s a severely multiply disabled character, who Yes we are supposed to be a lil freaked out by when he’s introduced but… his multiple amputations and burns and bandages arent the source of the horror. thats just his disabled body.

now again please don’t get me wrong, mouthwashing has a lot to talk about concerning the loss of autonomy and the horror of disability, if your art concerns that or literally any definition of body horror please tag it as such but I just want to see less posts of curly just Existing tagged with it please. its Really Weird and it tells me some things about how you view disabled people.
