Alright, let’s slow this down since some of you seem to have the comprehension skills of a newborn.
Living with a disability—whether from birth, an accident, or later in life—is profoundly isolating. The physical world is full of barriers that limit connection, mobility, and inclusion. For many disabled people, online spaces like Tumblr aren’t just entertainment; they’re lifelines. They’re some of the only places where we can connect with people who understand our struggles, share our interests, and offer solidarity that the offline world often denies us. When accessibility is dismissed here, it recreates the same exclusion we already face everywhere else. What you see as a “minor inconvenience” can mean the difference between belonging and total isolation.
And telling blind or visually impaired people to “just click the link”? That’s not only inaccessible—it’s unsafe. You’re asking strangers to gamble their online security on a page they can’t even verify. That’s not fair, and it’s not inclusive. If the lyrics can’t be posted in a format everyone can read, the message is clear: only some people’s experience matters. Online spaces are already risky enough—don’t make disabled folks shoulder even more danger just to be included.
And let’s be honest—this was never just about fonts. Multiple disabled people raised concerns, and instead of being heard, they were talked down to, infantilized, shamed, and dismissed. That’s not compromise—that’s cruelty. And when a disabled trans person spoke up, transphobia was piled on top of the ableism. That’s the reality here: people already pushed to the margins were treated as nuisances for daring to ask to be included.
Accessibility isn’t shallow. Disabled voices aren’t disposable. If you choose to create and share in community spaces, you don’t get to decide whose humanity counts.
I'm disgusted, you're less than human.
