I'm really not sure how to tell y'all it's not fucking okay to romanticise the shit out of a disabled person being treated like...an actual human being if you don't already know that.
But I'm getting THIS close to try bc istg....
#the pitt#im not tagging this any more specifically atm. altho if i do a longer post i will. but y'all fucking know what this about.#i fear the next episode is going to push me over the edge#and like i get it! shipping is fun! it doesn't have to be that deep! everything gets read into EVERYTHING! i get it!#but this is too fucking far y'all#there's a serious story and a real issue disabled people face all the time being told here#and how fucking DARE y'all turn that into nothing more than cheap fodder for your ship#how DARE you treat this woman as little more than a doll and a prop in your het romance#how DARE you romanticise and swoon over a male doctor uh *checks notes* respecting a disabled woman's autonomy#this story is about Becca as a disabled woman and Mel as her carer and the stresses and difficulties with boundaries that presents#frank is not relevant. frank is a lamp in this storyline. aka: frank could be swapped out with any other character and this story would work#(no shade frank sweetie ilu and ur doing gr8)#the ONLY conversation i will entertain RE Frank's involvement#is that he's just returned from rehab and a lot of dehumanisation and loss of agency in that scenario#which could very well parallel/make Becca's situation that much more important/poignant to him#(tho i maintain s1 Frank would've had exactly the same stance on this but that's a separate issue)#anyway. ugh. fuck. i told myself i wasnt going to do this but#the ice is thin y'all. the ice is SO fucking thin and i am so fucking angry rn.#do not make me get my fucking powerpoint slides out and my teacher hat on#bc I'll fucking do it#text post tag#rowyn rants#disability advocacy#AGGGGHHHHHHH#frank langdon#becca king#mel king#late tagging for me so i can find this again. should i need to.
