[ID: a five panel comic in mostly black and white, showing a werewolf on the right side, and text on the left.
In the first panel, the werewolf is grinning with a mouth full of teeth and saying, "Here are some of my personal experiences with being disabled for anyone who wants to be able to write a disabled character accurately :)", with a smiley face emoticon at the end.
In the second panel, the werewolf is smiling with its eyes closed, while tags in dark grey appear in the empty space across from it: "disability" "reference" "writing advice" "writing disability" "dislocated rib" "save for later" "hypermobility" "dislocations"
In the third panel, a new tag reading "whump reference" has been added in big black letters, covering some of the smaller ones. The werewolf's face has gone blank in shock.
In the fourth panel, The werewolf is snarling, and the tag "whump reference" has grown larger and erased all the tags before it.
In the fifth panel, the background is light red, and the werewolf is motion blurred as its mouth is open to scream with its eye glowing red,screaming in all caps black text:
"If your first thought upon seeing disabled people talk about their personal experiences is "Ooh I should write torture porn about this" you are a shit fucking ableist person who needs to stay the fuck away from disabled people forever!"
End ID.]
If you tag any of my fucking posts about disability as "whump reference" or "whump prompts" you are so ableist and horrible it's not even fucking funny. Stay the fuck away from disabled people, and especially stay away from my posts where I am sharing my personal fucking experiences with being disabled.
At what point will "whump" writers stop being ableist fucking shitbags? Never, apparently!
Edit for people are fortunate enough to not know this yet:
"Whump" is what people who write stories where they do nothing but torture a character for gratuitous violence call it. It goes far beyond normal levels of "this is an angsty story", it's literally just people torturing characters and getting off on doing so.
So the person who left that tag meant that they were going to be using my personal experiences of being physically disabled to write a story where someone with my exact disability using my personal examples was going to be tortured through that disability, probably graphically.
"Whump" writers are constantly being ableist and putting their horrific shit in tags for disabled people and doing crap like this.
They literally look at me, a real disabled person, and think my experiences, which I was sharing for people who wanted to write about disabled characters /respectfully/ is inspiration for a story where they're going to litterally torture and humiliate someone exactly like me, with my disability, using my own words to help describe it.
It's ableist, it's fetishizing, it's absolutely revolting and evil.
