Also as much as I’m glad that we’re all sharing Shayla’s content (the young black lady with Tourette’s), please also note that she’s human and not just a mouthpiece for these issues. She’s actually posted about how she’s been very unwell and this situation is distressing
As a disabled person it’s so annoying to see people use “disabled” as almost like an excuse to not have accountability. I socked someone in the face during a seizure, yeah it wasn’t my fault/wasn’t malicious but I apologized profusely after I came to bc they didn’t deserve that??
I feel like there needs to be more pressure on the BBC to apologise and not the guy who has been told by countless professionals to never apologise to people who understand it’s involuntary.
The BBC engineered this situation knowingly, fucking evil.
Stop evicting people and you’ll have less people pissing on trains. Stop treating housing as an investment opportunity and you’ll have less people pissing on trains. Stop electing landlords and you’ll have less people pissing on trains. Stop allowing for short term rentals that…
Disability accommodations look like escorting him out so he could regain agency. It’s NOT letting him represent himself like that. The BAFTAs didn’t protect ANYBODY. They left ol dude out to dry and Delroy & MBJ without an advocate. That’s not thorough care. Thats lazy inclusion.
Its so disgusting for these internet companies and celebrities who basically make being progressive and inclusive part of their branding to turn around and do copaganda on a show that has some of the most racist scenes I've ever seen
It's honestly a little on the nose that BAFTA superficially celebrated Black and disabled stories while doing nothing to materially support those communities, ultimately leaving those communities behind and fueling further division. The ultimate metaphor for neoliberalism.
it was already mismanaged by bafta’s but the more that comes out dude???? what the fuck do you mean nobody from bafta’s said anything to mbj & deroy after it happened???????
this tourettes discourse on my tl is irritating because nobody understands that "coprolalia is to blame for him saying n-word, people cannot control their tics" and "black people are allowed to be upset with being called the n-word even in this context" are both true

I believe what the BBC did was deliberate.
Not only did they not bleep the slur, but they also chose not to broadcast Alan Cummings’ apology/clarification.
Paying TV licence for what, exactly?
Hot take but Japanese army soldiers committing atrocities doesn’t take away the fact that cooking civilians (children included) alive and flattening entire cities with atomic bombs is horrifying. The two truths can coexist.
