Posted @withregram • @pacingpixie *Yes, everyone dies, but killing off Disabled characters is so common it's become a trope - for more information - https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BuryYourDisabled It's a low bar, folks. - ID An Ableism Metric for Narrative Media If the answer is 'yes' to any of the following, the media is likely ableist. Does the Disabled character: 1. Die?* (Killing Eve, Inside I'm Dancing, Of Mice and Men, Survivors) 2. Want to die? (Me Before You, Million Dollar Baby, Glee, Night' Mother) 3. Live but primarily to inspire, evoke pity from or be 'saved' by other characters/the audience. (The Secret Garden, Christmas Carol, Fundamentals of Caring, The Miracle Worker) 4. Live but with a narrative based mostly on their disabilty and/or the negative effect it has on their life? (Come as You Are, Penguin Bloom, The Sessions) - #ableism #ableist #ableismistrash #disabilitypride #disabilityisnotinability #disablednotdead #disablednotless #disabledactress #accessibilityforall #thefutureisaccessible #chronicillness #chronicillnessawareness #disabilityjustice #spoonielife #spooniecommunity #unchargeables #inclusionrevolution #inclusion #accessislove #disabled #representationmatters #represent #wheelchairuser #nothingaboutuswithoutus #disabledandproud #disabilityisdiversity #disabilityadvocate #disabledandcute #chronicallyfabulous #disabilityawareness https://www.instagram.com/p/COdR2l2jf7Gtu1YZXYJ57TJujva-ancPHWPAV00/?igshid=ezjsbbk926w1
