the sheer amount of fandom, fanfic, and fictional character content in the d/Deaf and hard of hearing tags is staggering. You have to scroll for ages before you even start getting to the deaf cat, let alone actual d/Deaf and hard of hearing users and issues.
this isn't specific to d/Deaf or HoH spaces either, you can barely poke your head into any tag without hitting a wall of fiction. is it that hard to understand that if you believe the internet is a source of connection and sharing knowledge that it's bad to deliberately obstruct that?
Have some basic decency and keep fictional characters in their own tags. It's hard enough for disabled people to have any opportunity to talk about disability or connect with each other without the streams of information constantly contaminated with your favourite blorbos. Let us communicate and share things, for fuck's sakes, without finding ways to make it about fiction. Without finding ways to make it about what you like instead of what others in that space like and need. Sometimes disabled people... actually exist. And are more important than fiction.
