This right here. Is my biggest fear as a disabled person at a concert. Sincerely.
Concerts are the one thing I '' give'' myself, since doing things for myself costs me alot of recovery but that makes me just so happy and being around my people makes the pain worth it afterwards and they keep me going since I have something to look forward to and it gives me more of a future. Which I think people with disabilities will understand deeply. So this.. This would absolutely give me the extra kick to the giving up.
Luckily my favorites are very inclusive and say '' get low if you are capable '' or '' if you are able to do so jump as high as you can''
But just imagine,, you are in the front for your favorite artist, in a wheelchair, or maybe a chair. Or maybe on the floor because you became unwell a bit. Your fave spots you and starts saying '' why are you sitting, why are you sitting?? With the light on you infront of 1000's 0f people.
*Notices you are disabled* and she says: '' oh okay politically incorrect sorry 'bout that, glad you're here.'' in the most uninteresting voice ever.
If that was me, I would cry and die of shame. I think I'd lock myself in my house.
We're just people wanting to do stuff like all of you..
And all the Madonna stans are like '' well she couldn't see''
Well she saw it after didn't she? She could have apologized decently, kindly and with compassion. But no, they got a '' glad you're here '' and '' oOoH My Gawd ''
LISTEN AND LEARN HERE: YOUR IDOL IS STILL A HUMAN. THEY MAKE MISTAKES, SOMETIMES SILLY ONES, SOMETIMES BIG ONES. HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. Admitting it was wrong does not make you less of a fan. Like truly think. This is not Okay.
Also if you are not disabled. Stop telling us that we are overreacting and shouldn't be this hurt over this.
Everyone can reblog this btw disabled or not.
