    disability is not an aesthetic plaything you should use for literary masturbation either, to make some vague new age point about the 'beauty of the universe' or something, disability detracts from quality of life significantly, thats why disabled people deserve care and support. its not a miracle of nature, it hurts and it would be objectively better not to be this way. thats not me saying its some kind of metaphysical failure of character like reactionaries do, its the reason disabled people need support and care more than others. the comic is the equivalent of boomer memes about aborted children. at best its slop for the correct side instead.

        you are putting words in my mouth, and assuming my beliefs with little to no evidence. I am absolutely offended to be said to support eugenics or the genocide of autistic people. there is obviously a difference between curing cancer, regenerating a limb, or developing effective treatments for mental illness, and trying to genocide people with autism. nothing about what i said tells people 'stop caring about disabled people'.

        There is actual, genuine horror in disability, as in life in general. It is literally horrifying to have lost a sense organ or mental faculty or to be born with a painful and untreatable condition. that is a completely reasonable response. it actually is tragic.

        Nothing about that implies any kind of neoliberal individualized subject. Nothing about that implies genocide of disabled people. I am not here as a representation of what reactionaries believe about disabled people.

        consider this a disengagement.
