I don't know if these people are bots, or scammers, but they're not real commenters. For context, the prince in question is nowhere near the royal palace at this point in the fic. That won't happen until at least a couple updates later. I have received two others like this, both of which also contain factual errors about the contents of the story they're commenting on. While at the same time offering generic praise about the story's pacing. And wanting me to make it a comic. I almost fell for the first one of these I received, because the factual errors were less egregious.

It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.

Our entire world is queer and nonbinary - everything exists on a complex and dynamic spectrum and multiple things can be true simultaneously. It is vital to understand that, and to be a forever teachabe person.

Being in the LGBTQ+ community does not make you incapable of racism, ableism, sexism, fatphobia etc. nor does it mean that you do not benefit from other systems of oppression. When you say "I'm gay so I can't be misogynistic" you sound like an asshole.

Also community is a verb - we are truly at a point in this capitalistic hellscape where we really need to come together in real life. That means making spaces where disabled people are at the centre, and mutial aid is involved. It means being a good neighbour, asking for help, and giving it where you can. There is no enemy but apathy.

I love being a fat femme ❤️❤️❤️ I love my lesbian boyfriend ❤️❤️❤️

The Ugly Laws were all about who could exist in public, who deserved to be killed or institutionalized, and what the "ideal" human form was. Knowing disabled and black history will set you up for truly understanding queerphobia. Dig deeper.

I don't think my gender journey has ever made sense to my family. Something got severed when I came out and they didn't stay curious about me, so every change to my wardrobe and life since then has no context.

You’re doing fine. It’s okay.

Do what you can when you can and that’s fine.

But also, if there’s someone in your life that can help, please don’t let shame or embarrassment prevent you from seeking that help. If you genuinely can’t keep up with certain tasks, please consider asking a trusted person for assistance.

And don’t listen to anyone disparaging you. They don’t know your life. They aren’t in your shoes. They can’t understand the difficulties you face. And ultimately, your actions don’t effect them.

why is being on pace so important for every study program? why do they care about complicated assignments and scores and deadlines and limited amount of attempts? if you display skill they should let you pass no?

#''how many people aren't disabled until society tells them they aren't allowed to take it slow?'' THIS THIS THIS#and especially in the era of long covid becoming so incredibly prevalent#the most common symptom of long covid is persistent physical and/or mental fatigue#and it's especially likely to develop if people push themselves to keep working and being active during the initial infection and recovery#and then once the fatigue is present#it's likely to worsen as a result of overexertion#often to the point of developing ME#most severe cases of ME start mild and progress due to severe overexertion#but people often don't have a choice to take it easy until their body makes the choice for them#because they can't afford to miss work#or for kids they'll get in trouble and their grades will fall#the treatment of kids with long covid and chronic fatigue by society gets me so fucking pissed#more than almost anything else in the whole world#it genuinely makes me want to punch a wall in and scream

i absolutely agree with you but i need to make it clear that that's not the point i was making. im not talking about people developing disabilities. im talking about the actual millions of people who have, in absolute terms, quite mild conditions, and would be able to to function very well and make themselves a at home in the field they desire to be in, but are gatekept.

so many people who are too disabled to pursue their passion are actually perfectly competent at what it is they want to do, but they cant always be on time, or cant always dedicate 40 hours a week, or sometimes need to leave the workplace/class/workshop/ect due to their condition flaring up.

so many computer nerds are amazing programmers but cant dedicate full time hours to it. so many tattoo artists cant develop their craft cuz they cant land an apprenticeship where their teacher lets them be late and leave early when needed. so many wonderfully curious people cant go into academia because taking less classes per year still costs the same amount of tuition per year, so it's not affordable to do the course over more than 4 years. so many people would be perfectly happy to just have a place in a simple data entry or package/paper sorting job if they wouldn't be kept at a ludicrous pace (all of these examples are real people i know). all these people are, in absolute terms, not disabled. theyre perfectly able to do preform the tasks of the occupation they want to have. but because there is a bar of conformity and amount of contribution that they must meet, rather than a "if you can help out, even a little bit, you can stay and we'll be thankful" mindset, theyre kept out of the schools and workplaces they want to be a part of. and so people who are perfectly able to preform actual relevant tasks, but not able to meet arbitrary unnecessary expectations, end up shunned. unable to pursue, poor, depressed, alone.
