@sweetanita Exactly, it's an attentional bias where people immediately clock certain tics but don't even notice other ones. Seeing as tics can be any words or actions, it makes sense that most of them are not even offensive. They just don't get as noticed.
@sweetanita Thats heartbreaking to hear about. There needs to be more understanding about TS but also more systems in place to accommodate ppl with this disability. It's not fair or necessary to be treating ppl w/ TS like this. You have your own horror stories too, so safe travels to TC.
@sweetanita Glad you could have another meet n greet at TC, people always really enjoy meeting you and seeing you there! I'm sure it'll be as great of a TC weekend as usual!
@sweetanita I think you covered why the skit was problematic (let alone insensitive and just kinda tasteless) real well. And it's important to point out why and how making "jokes" like this have real world consequences on people, especially people who are already challenged by a lot.
@sweetanita Disheartening to see how many people are ignorant (willful or not), both about the condition itself and of the consequences of misunderstanding. But there's still progress being made by people like yourself who take the time to educate. Just means there's more work to be done.
@sweetanita You explained it well on stream yesterday (the VOD, if anyone is interested: https://t.co/xgraUGHG7y). I'm sure a video would be really informative for a lot of people as well. Even if you cannot do it today, I'm sure it would still hold immense value whenever you can record it!
@sweetanita Best of luck, dude, hope the surgery went A-OK!! We know you're a fighter so hopefully this procedure finally makes things better for you π
@sweetanita Yeah honestly more than fair and understandable, dude. The situation over there is a mess at the moment, and it doesn't look that promising that things will get better soon. I can def see why you made this decision!
@aspenisoffline The triple support composition was working as well as ever! Plus, you were getting some real good Mantis sleeps. Very well deserved win with the team again!
@sweetanita Every voice matters and you've def been very vocal about this, dude! π Really good work on making a difference. Awareness and speaking out go a long way! Sad to see X only change its stance once there were potential business repercussions, but this is still a win.
@sweetanita There's an alarming number of replies just trolling, rage-baiting, or making disingenuous arguments. Which prob is another sad sign of the state that this platform now finds itself in. Either way, it was a good thing you brought attention to this whole issue. It's important!
