These fucking ablelists when basic accessibility. Embarrassing

We are currently on hatius due to that person attempting to pedojacket me and get people to harass us by screenshotting and sharing our blogs. Also ableist about DID, which I have. We all need time to recover. Pedojacketing is inherently an act of violence that can get people killed. And that person did it because of getting upset when presented with education and feeling publicly shamed. I had other staff remove their personal blogs from the pinned for their safety.

Fuck off

Blog creator here, @impunkster-syndrome. You do not get to speak to the volunteers here that way so you can feel more comfortable telling disabled people you don't care if they could die and you value your aesthetic over someone else's health. Have a problem? Contact me directly. I don't give a shit about your feelings getting hurt because I can literally get a seizure from the post content you're so mad about having been reblogged for education on accessibility.

I did get a seizure due to your content. You're more comfortable giving someone a seizure than you are actually having content be accessible and keeping people from having seizures and other photosensitive symptoms.

hi there! we try our best to give as much detail as needed so that people understand why we're suggesting the changes that we are. personally i find having more detail and explicit reasonings/directions very helpful, so i (and the rest of the team!) try to do that as best as i can. thank you for the ask, it's always appreciated when we receive asks like this!
