Fandoms try NOT to infantilize East Asian men challenge (impossible) (this post is about Daisuke Mouthwashing)
No cause tell me why so many of you are getting SO up in arms about people whitewashing Daisuke then immediately turn around and be like “he’s my baby boy uwu he just needs protecting oh gosh he’s just a silly little guy!” like are you listening to yourself right now.
Yes, he may be the youngest on the crew but he’s still a grown ass man. Pls just try to stop for a second and think about the stereotypes u might be perpetuating. Sick and tired of people constantly infantilizing us.
To all the people who want to get a mobility aid, or any type of disability aid, but are too insecure for whatever reason:
Get one.
If you think it’ll help you, it probably will. Do not feel afraid to get something if you think it’ll help improve your quality of life. Those who don’t need a disability aid do not yearn to have one.
“But I don’t know if I’m disabled enough-” doesn’t matter. will it help you? then get it.
“But I’m not even diagnosed with anything-” doesn’t matter. will it make your life better? then get it.
“But I’m not even disabled-” shush. if you think you might need an aid, chances are you probably are disabled to some degree. and even if you aren’t comfortable calling yourself disabled, IT DOESN’T MATTER. will it help you? THEN GET IT!!
The more people who are using disability aids, the better. I want to see people of all different levels of ability using aids, all types of aids. I want people to talk about canes and braces and rollators and AACs the same way they talk about glasses.
There is so much stigma around those who use visible aids, especially mobility aids like wheelchairs which make so many spaces entirely inaccessible. The more people using aids, the more normal it will be. The less stigmatized it will be. The more people using aids, the more we as a society will have to make spaces more accessible. and when a space is accessible, it benefits everyone. The more people using aids, the more it does for disability rights. The more visible we become. The less ignorable we become. The more empowered we become. And the less power our oppressor will have against us.
