my heart is yours to break

no, and i don't plan to. it's not worth my money or my time, and frankly it shouldnt be worth anyone elses either. 

stop trying to fight me on this, all you're doing is reinforcing that abled people don't give a shit about us  

yeah, i don't like that people think it's a good story. frankly, i couldn't care less about how good an adaptation it was, it still tells us our lives aren't worth living, and it terrifies me how many people don't see a problem with that.

i don't like her because she willingly was involved with and defends a project that basically tells disabled people we would be better off dying young than living disabled. i don't care that she didn't write the story, but she agrees with it enough to direct the film version of it. the fact that everyone thinks he would've suffered his entire life is the problem. yes, there are lots of us who are suicidal, but that doesn't mean it should be romanticised. when you're disabled, you don't need to be fixed. you don't need to be saved. as i said, a wheelchair is not a death sentence. disabled lives are just as worth living as any other life. do you have any idea how crushing and heartbreaking it is to see a trailer for a movie with a disabled main character and think that you're finally getting representation only to find out he kills himself just because he's disabled? it sends the message that suicide is an acceptable and/or normal response to becoming disabled, and frankly, it's repulsive. 

we are worth it. we are more than capable of leading long, successful, fulfilling lives, and we do. a wheelchair is not a death sentence, and a relationship doesn't cure depression. 

i'm so angry 

it really hurts to see someone make a film that tells disabled people their lives aren't worth living not only be celebrated for that film, but also continue to get work, especially with a series that means so much to me
