basically emotional manipulation and guilt tripping as social justice praxis is pointless and not sustainable imo. it doesnât promote real growth or solidarity if the entire basis of your activism is stemming from guilt or fearÂ
spritzeal:
#like it just ends with kids reblogging things they dont really understand #and not daring to ask for further information references or even just it in easier to digest terms #so then you get loads of well intentioned and paranoid kids shouting at each other using buzzwords they dont really get #while abusive people can easily slip in and co-opt the system for their own ends #slams fist on table #transparency and forgiveness in sj circles#slams fists over and over
iâm especially upset by the pressure to reblog things immediately without fact-checking, expressing doubt is considered betrayal of the cause, so a lot of bad info gets boosted in a hurry
An electric toothbrush and an escalator are two things that can stop working and still accomplish their original goal.
Ah, wonderful! This post can help me illustrate something Iâve been trying to articulate for awhile: the concept of benign or unintentional abelism.
Escalators and electric toothbrushes are perfect examples of things that many able-bodied people assume exist for their own convenience, and this post is a perfect example of that unconscious assumption.
An escalator that has broken down is still perfectly functional, right?Â
Well, sureâif you could have used the stairs to begin with.Â
But for people like me, for whom the escalator was not a convenience but a mobility device, a broken down escalator is not functional.Â
An electric toothbrush might seem like something that could be just as easily used turned off as turned on, but for someone with Parkinsonâs, or any other number of nerve, coordination, or grip issues, the function of the electric toothbrush is a necessary feature, and without it, the task at hand becomes far more arduous (or even impossible).Â
Iâm not angry or trying to point out why this post is âbadâ or âwrongââIâm simply trying to point out that people who assume every time or energy-saving invention was created as a means to help able-bodied people be lazier should consider re-examining those assumptions. It might help you become more compassionate toward your disabled friends and family, or at least more aware of the struggles we face daily.Â
Iâve had plenty of folks ask for examples of abelism and I am terrible at coming up with them on the spot, so here you go. This is a great one: assuming every modern convenience is only a convenience for everyone, when for some, it is, in fact, a necessity.Â
^ When I heard that this is why all those infomercials show âimpossibly clumsy able-bodied peopleâ - that these random convenience devices are really made more for people with troubles like randomslasher describes, and itâs just able-bodied actors trying to act those mobility issues out - I kinda had to stop making fun of those clips.
And the reason they use able-bodied actors instead of showing real people with disabilities use the product is because if they did that, able-bodied people would see it and be like âoh what a neat product for people with x disabilityâ and not buy it because they assume itâs not for them. And even though thatâs true, the companies need able bodied people to buy it so they can make enough revenue to stay in business and continue to produce the product for people with disabilities.
^^ also the more able bodied people that buy or have a product intentionally designed for someone with disability is that it helps destigmatize it. Which is super important.Â
Remember Snuggies? The blanket with sleeves? It was designed for wheelchair users/people with mobility issues so they could be warm and still use their arms without being trapped under a blanket. They were SO popular for a while, and everyone had one⌠which meant that if someone who was able bodied came over to your house and saw you had one too, it was less of a chance of being made fun of for it, and more like an opportunity for a conversation on about how they want one too.Â
The slap chopper is also another great example. I know so many people who are able bodied that had/currently have one and sure it makes things quicker and easier for them, but someone with motor control issues or bad arthritis can use it. It wonât be an awkward âwhy do you have this thingâ conversation. It is a âwoah, I have one too!â or âI love mine, so glad you love yours tooâ sort of thingÂ
By selling/marketing them to able-bodied people, this makes it better for those of us who are disabled. It can destigmatize, which in turn normalizes it, which helps us become less Other and more Accepted.Â
