Shouldn't you CW that anecdote then? We can't know that someone on the internet didn't just lost a parent or close family member. Acknowledging the existence of dead family jokes might remind them of the pain or trauma they're going through.
Content warning discourse played out on tumblr when I was a kid. Until you edited to put SA (which I appreciate) this was genuinely indistinguishable from right-wing trolling to me.
Sorry I missed that discourse since I was adulting before tumblr was a domain name. Did anyone address at what point a content warning was more triggering than the content?
I don’t think labels are ever gonna be as trigging as actually seeing someone actually conduct the behavior. Like I said earlier the concept of transphobia or racism or whatever in the name isn’t gonna have the same punch and seeing someone say or do something shitty.
I can read the worth transphobia fine, seeing a terf or some right wing ding dong actually say something shitty about trans people is always gonna worse than the word “transphobia.” It just tells me avoid it if I feel like it
But in this case we aren't even seeing ableism. This ableist is doing the "I don't like X, but he's one of good ones" bit. The only thing offensive here is that the ableist is admitting their ableism. Is surface level introspection and compartmentalization that offensive?
There's no indication of the topic when looking at the thumbnail or the previous image title, and the content of the image is 'I don't like/am not romantically interested in this person with disabilities, but can I get money from them by pantomiming dating them?'
Yeah, I think that's fucked up enough to get a warning.
Sometimes just the reminder of the condition is enough, I mean depending on what I’m going through definitely different things might strike a nerve where they wouldn’t otherwise. Again ultimately if it helps a person it’s pretty simple and easy to course correct. I’m not going to tell a person who finds ableism distressing when they’re allowed to feel valid about it or what types of ableism they’re allowed to think are validly distressing or demand a dissertation from them bc I lack their perspective to understand
