some things that horror movie culture has taught you are scary…. are just ableist

okay sure. psychosis? scarier to have than to know someone who has it. DID? im more a threat to myself than people around me. wheelchairs and psych meds? are tools that help people live more functional and flexible lives and are not judgments of the persons character and for sure are not scary things. and for real, intellectually disabled people are not threats, but movies love to make them villains because they act different and understand the world differently. and people with notable physical differences? people who’s bodies look different? people with scars, growths, amputations, etc? are literally just people. and seeing themselves painted like monsters on the big screen is absolutely sickening and damaging to how society will see them.

Haaaii guys ^_^ I’ve made a pokemon-themed multifandom discord server with some friends with the goal of meeting new people and discussing about interests (games/shows/films/reading/etc) roleplaying, and more!! If you’re interested in joining, here’s the link down below!!
