Just a little vent/rant about ableism, especially in gaming

Can we talk about the fact that the thought process of "this disability aid would make (insert game) too easy for some" is a fluffing ableist idea overall? [This doesn't even just go for games but we had a specific thing we saw in mind that was about a game]

Firstly, it's not even just ableist, it's just a fluffing dumb ass thought process. Like why the fuck do you care if another being will have a game be "too easy" for them if they want? (Kinda reminds us of those who hate on those who use creative or keep inventory in Minecraft)

Secondly, you think it's ok to not have a disability aid because it would make something "too easy" for another being. Which is literally an ableist idea and we don't think we should have to explain why

(Next 4 things are together just too long for 1 thing for us, lol, also next parentheses too)

The thing that brought this on was actually about us looking up if subtitles could be turned on for a specific game (they couldn't as far as we saw). And a Steam discussion thing showed up where one of the users were talking about how "subtitles would make the game too easy for some" and we were like why the fuck do you care?

Like you aren't being forced to use them for your gameplay so it literally wouldn't affect you. (Also what they were referring to that would "make the game too easy" was specifically closed captioning not even subtitles although we think both of those should be a thing for the specific game.

Also they pulled the "I have trouble hearing and I could understand it" right away which just jrjrndjdjdjdjdjd. Fuck off, not everybeing is you. We looked up about subtitles cause we have issues with hearing and could barley tell/understand somethings sometimes

Also we literally played a "knockoff" [the knockoff was basically the same game but multiplayer and in the style of the game it was in] version of the game with subtitles (not closed captioning sadly) and it worked great, so like their whole thing about how "it wouldn't work with the game" was also dumb as hell

(This Steam discussion was from a few years ago so we hope this being learned from what they thought and said then)

One of our hyperfixations/special interests (we aren't quite sure which it is, lol) is service dogs.

Does anyone want to hear (or see, lol) us rant about service dogs?

If multiple beings say that they want us to rant about service dogs, we will post at least one post about service dogs!!

[If there are any mistakes in spelling and grammar, only correct us if you are doing it constructively, please].

Do any beings know how to go about making a tail and/or ears with brushed off fur from a dog? Or where to find information about that kind of thing? (We have a husky, and we want to use some of his fur to make at least a tail and maybe ears as well).

We are thinking about using the start of a yarn tail to add the fur to it (we also need fur safe dye cause our dog's fur is white and ours should be a kind of dark brown). Would this work?

We wanna make a tail cause we aren't really able to properly find an ethical tail seller [we are disabled, we aren't gonna go more into it], and we have heard that fake fur tails aren't really that great. We might just end up making just a yarn tail if we can't find a way to use our dog's fur for it. [Are yarn tails good for the environment and stuff?]

Beings who know about ethical dog breeding/breeders in the USA, we have some questions.

(We are currently trying to find good ethical german shepherd dog breeders sort of around us to get a puppy so we can train [mostly professionally trained, we have a place in mind for that] to have a service dog).

Firstly, what should be looked for in a breeders?

Secondly, is it bad if a place/being breeds multiple breeds?

And just overall, how to find good ethical breeders.

Edit: Is it best to go for a working line, or does show line work fine for service dog work?

We need to clean a room, do any beings have any tips? (We need tips that keep in mind that our issues are mainly from AuDHD and chronic pain rn).

Little vent from us. We are kinda going through some shit rn.

We don't think there are any tw/cw but if there are let us know.

What do you do when you realize that you might not be able to work a "normal" job or maybe any job at all ever?

What do you do when you realize that your disabilities affect what you are able to do in ways that are so against what you wanted to do and what you wish you could do?

What do you do when disabilities are actually disabling?

What do you do when other people don't understand even when they are disabled themselves?

What do you do in any situations where disabilities affect what happens?

What do you do when you need to tell people and make them understand that you are disabled and that means you can't do the same things as others?

What do you do when you are disabled?

[shayandwildlifepack]

Can any being(s) explain exactly what each "level" of support needs mean? (High, medium, and low are the ones we have seen/heard)

Cause we literally aren't sure what we count under.

Like it almost seems like we are low-medium support needs or high-low support needs (like on the lower side of medium or higher side of low).

Does this make any sense?
