This is the full clip where Skizz says, "if anyone has reason to stare at a wall and 'swim down' it's Scar"
A lot of people have grossly misinterpreting this quote into something far worse than what it actually is. Please share this instead of emotionally-charged misinformation.
@Kit_Can_Do_It@MintyToast2228 It's less the phrasing and more so the broader meaning behind the sentiment. I linked my tumblr post where I go into more detail about how this affects the disabled community, please give that a read if you will. https://t.co/n7lAPdmQdL

@BigSharkGaming@xisumavoid I have a feeling he knows already. I trust that hermitcraft is reviewing all the information on the situation, and no doubt is aware of this.
A lot of people are using Skizz' good intentions to dismiss the deeper issue of internalized ableism. I go into more detail about disability p*rn in my tumblr post about the clip. Please give it a read before outright dismissing our concerns.

There's hundreds of boomers on here calling us slurs and saying we're "blowing this out of proportion" and we CANNOT prove them right. Sharing misinformation weakens our whole stance against Skizz, and diminishes it into "kids intentionally misinterpreting stuff to be mad about"
@MintyToast2228 The thing is, Skizz wasn't joking though. He was earnestly telling Scar that if anyone would have reason to kts, it would be him, because of the severity of his disabilities. I think it's telling how he said "I don't mean to get dark" before making his comment.
@MintyToast2228 I'm not trying to contribute to harassment against Skizz, that's why I'm encouraging people to share the clip itself rather than their personal interpretations of it. Harassment would be piling on blame for something he didn't do, not holding him accountable for what he did do.
@ahaandotexe As a disabled person quite a few people have expressed this sort of take with me irl. It's not the best way to describe admiring someone's work ethic and determination despite disabilities and illness, but sometimes words are hard. The intent behind the actual phrasing matters.
@aleblanco19871@ahaandotexe@xisumavoid I take care of my grandma, I do get annoyed by her because, well, she's old and with old age comes hearing problems, walking problems and hygiene problems. Not once would I call her a giant germ, especially not when referring to a disability she has.
We've heard concerns from the community recently about Skizzleman. He is traveling at the moment and we will discuss it with him as a group when he returns. We appreciate your patience.
@testtubetango Exactly. I cannot understand how Skizz can sit there patting himself on the back while half of his audience is called slurs for being upset with his actions.
"I want to create a space for content for everyone" yet he's curating a space for us to be dehumanized.
actual echo chamber of “you did nothing wrong!!” and “all these (slurs) are just immature idiots and you shouldn’t listen to them!!!” Yeah I’m Sure That’s Really Healthy And Good For This Community.
apparently a hot take but i don’t think making your community a safe space for hatred and slur-calling and discrimination is a good thing nor should it be seen as okay
i have seen more usage of the F, R and T slurs in this community in the past few days than i have simply in general for the past few months and i think that speaks volumes
@aleblanco19871@ToastTricksterJ@xisumavoid you clearly don't understand what the concept of ableism is. please educate yourself before trying to start conversations on the subject.
@aleblanco19871@ToastTricksterJ@xisumavoid and of course, you can make jokes about being disabled without being offensive, but this WAS offensive. it was insulting and perpetuating the stereotype that all disabled people are "dirty" and unfit for society.
@aleblanco19871@ToastTricksterJ@xisumavoid he called his dad a "giant germ" i dont know how clearer you can be about mocking someone. just because he was talking to a disabled person doesn't make what he said ok, it makes it worse, actually.
I don't think skizz MEANT to be ableist, but he was.
