@oliveros_marisa@Lefty_Mind So you would prefer to dance around the situation instead of calling it what it is? Critique is necessary for change. You could easily put this effort into supporting us, instead of being yet another voice against us.
@oliveros_marisa@Lefty_Mind You are choosing your own biases over what disabled people who are living this reality are telling you. Theres numerous disabled and/or mentally ill folks who have been raising concerns over this for some time. Why do you not care to listen to us?

If a teenager comes to your house to ask for candy on Halloween you can just give them the candy because being a teenager is really fuckig hard and you literally bought the candy to hand it out to people.
Hey @hulu, if a show or movie says an uncensored curse word you need to include the uncensored word in the subtitles. You cannot censor captioning - the entire purpose of subtitles is accessibility and by changing/omitting what is said audibly in your captioning you're
After a few Covid infections, a year of no precautions, & no shortage of powerful propaganda, people I love are no longer recognizable. They’ve become entirely new people, & it’s not just from “moving on.” This is something else. These are dramatic personality changes.
