Does the dog die has a filter/tag for fat jokes
I wasn't sure how many people knew this so thank you to the hard working crew at DTDD and the community that helps them.
People on the internet treat autism like it's some cute, childish thing, but like, autism and the trauma that comes with it have literally lead me to severe alcoholism, anger issues and a criminal record.
This post goes out to autistic addicts and autistic people who have personality disorders and autistic people who have hurt people during meltdowns and autistic people who have been in trouble with the law and autistic people who have been diagnosed with every mental illness under the sun only to find out it was autism all along.
You are loved. Your trauma and your reactions to it do not make you a bad person.

With all due respect. I'm gonna milk you.

You’re gonna milk me? Squeeze my fat udders until the milkies dribble out in thick fat globs? Until the river of my teats flow like the Euphrates down the fertile valleys of my breasts? And you’re going to collect my milk? Collect it in a jar? Collect my milk in your milk jar and store it in the fridge and use it in your cereal as part of a balanced and nutritious breakfast? Huh? Is that what you’re going to do? You horny milk drinker?

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.
i'm adding to this because it bothers me
i need people to remember though that freak shows and the ugly laws both specifically targeted visibly different people
especially because i reeeally don't think enough people even know about the ugly laws, or anything about them beyond "did you know it used to be illegal to be ugly?"
first of all, visible difference, as defined by changing faces, means "a scar, a mark, or a condition on a person's face or body that makes them look different".
freak shows were populated by people with conditions that specifically affected their appearance- people below and above average height, people with hirsuitism, and conjoined twins are some of the staples people know about
(ripley's believe it or not continued this tradition in the early 2000s, and now accounts on here and twitter and other forms of social media do the same by posting pictures and information about "congenital malformations" as "shocking" "rare" occurrences, or as aesthetics)
while the ugly laws targeted primarily homeless and visibly different people
the ugly laws also MADE AN EXCEPTION for the exhibition of disabled people- for the entertainment of abled people, to "beg for a cure", or to show abled people that disability was an aberration
and imo this has carried over (like freak shows did with ripley's believe it or not, and later to random social media accounts, like the ones op mentions, doing the same) into how disability, especially visible difference, is seen in society today
i can't even go to a dr's office, where i should be expected to be seen, without being stared at as if i don't belong there, which is i think a good example of what i'm talking about. people should expect to see visibly different people in medical settings. but they don't seem to. even drs don't.
when visibly different characters exist in media, usually as a joke, usually little people, people with neurological conditions (like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy or stroke symptoms), or chromosomal conditions (usually down syndrome), especially with i/dd or cognitive disability, they were created BY abled people, ENTIRELY for the entertainment of other abled people
so
yeah, they're still freak showing us. and they're still excluding and isolating us too
they never stopped
growing up the only time i ever saw characters that were like me, they were either jokes in cartoons, or villains and antagonists, especially in crime shows
they always depicted physically disabled people, whether i/dd or cognitively disabled or visibly different too or not, as controlling abusers, or manipulative fakers who were either pretending to be disabled to get stuff from people, or were playing up their genuine disability to get stuff from people
this happened to me. adults treated me like this, like i was just pretending to be frail and sickly to steal all the attention from everyone else
they depicted developmentally disabled people as stalkers, serial killers, and pedophiles. they depicted us like violence is our primal instinct, and that no matter what we do we'll always give into it, unless someone fucking keeps us in check like a handler
like
my parents literally watched a movie where a nonverbal obviously i/dd kid cut up a bird and caused a lady to fall down the stairs.
anyway i got treated this way too!!!! adults treated me like i was dangerous and either too unaware to know better or that i purposely hurt people because i enjoyed it. and i believed it, when i was a kid, part of the reason I thought i was sadistic and cruel and fucked up and evil was because of the way adults treated me due to my disabilities and visible differences
these depictions have real world impacts
it is literally part of socioculture(?) to make fun of or be afraid of visibly different people. visibly different people have reported being harassed and literally attacked in public by strangers because of their visible difference. in the past month alone i've seen so many jokes about strabismus from people who don't know what it is because for years making fun of people with strabismus has been a STAPLE of cartoons
and freak shows and the ugly laws are substantially part of why all of this happens
Image says: leftism leaving people's bodies as soon as someone struggled with reading and remembering basic facts. End of text. The inage below shows a blue ghost figure floating out of someone's body.
If someone doesn't know basic politics, mocking them isn't going to make them want to learn. It will make them feel ashamed and associate learning with guilt and other bad feelings.
When people say "I wasn't taught this in school" sometimes they really didn't pay attention and are embarrassed. Some are deflecting because society makes you feel embarrassed for being ignorant. Learning shouldn't be paired with guilt.
When people say "I wasn't taught this in school" they might also be talking about how they couldn't remember it because it wasn't taught in a way they understand.
It is our responsibilities as an adult to learn history, politics, etc, but please be patient with those who genuinely don't know where to start or don't know what topics to look up. If it shocks you so much that someone doesn't know something (and they are being genuine and not just "playing dumb"), send them accessible information you want them to know. Or atleast tell them the major events they should research.
Not saying to hold their hand and walk them through it, not saying to shrug it off if they're using their ignorance as an excuse to be a bigot, not saying you have to go out of your way to do the research for them. But please just be more compassionate. You aren't better than "stupid" people.
To be clear: not being able to remember details about basic history and politics is something that intellectually disabled people face. Sometimes we need to relearn the same thing over and over. Don't be mean about it.
You know. Reading is important. Because I'm like always trying to make every line I write this groundbreaking mindfucking art but like. A book is 90% just saying what happened. "I hugged him around the waist." "The chair was brown and overstuffed." "I woke up alone." Etc etc. Like normal ass lines. I just keep comparing my boring, necessary to set a scene lines, with famous authors' absolute best lines and like.... every line doesn't have to shatter the earth. Sometimes someone just sits in a chair and the lines that wreck you come later, one at a time, here and there. It's alright.
This is super common and I wish we were taught when we begin to write that those quoted lines are also in a sea of the same sort of setup we obsess over not being 'good enough'. I saw multiple people drop out of writing courses over this in college. Sure, sometimes you need a better way to describe something prevalent or to pinpoint an emotion, but if EVERYTHING was written in that sort of tone for a whole book it would prove utterly exhausting to read.
Also, if every single line in the book was hard-hitting and mindblowing, then it wouldn't be memorable because it would be drowned out.
The best lines are famous because they stand out.
