Turn him away! Fine!

But when people say things like "if you dump a bottle of concealer on him he'd look better" it becomes just ableist attacks.

Imagine yourself saying that to a real burn victim. A recent one at that. You'd deserve a beating imo.

I can understand trying to figure out if it would be realistic if someone in that state could've survived long enough to get there. But you don't need to be a bigot to do so.

Being paranoid doesn't mean you make fun of someone for apparently having horrible burns all over their body.

Especially when the streamer is ostensibly an ally.

Fucking hell, I'm tired.

Just stop being ableist. Work on changing your thought patterns and behavior. If someone points your ableism out, at the very least listen before you dismiss them & speak down to them.

Another thing that often happens is a chatter will be an actual fucking asshole to the person who pointed it out, and because others agree, they'll lean in.

Idk, I don't want to be in a space where, if someone brings up ableism in chat, another person can swat you down & basically tell you off.

And it really only takes a few weeks of watching most streams to see it happen.

"the game is supposed to play on your assumptions of strangers"

YEAH! AND YOU'RE SHOWING YOU'RE AN ABLEIST ASSHOLE!!

This is why I don't last long watching lives. It's rare for a streamer to actually push back on that kind of stuff. Usually they join in/say "if you're sensitive you can leave".

You can't just simply "trick" people with food aversions, because once they figure it out (yes, sometimes it takes more than 1 bite to do so) you have just burned a bridge when it comes to trust and to food.

They might not ever trust you to feed them again.

This is why I also hate people focusing on physical appearance to insult someone. It misses the fucking point and adds nothing.

You're indulging your ableism to ignore your negligence of reality.

Fucking stop it. You're a coward if you don't.

Similar to Musk.

He didn't "go crazy" like those lib Tesla owner bumper stickers love to say.

He's been a racist, apartheid adoring Nazi since he was young. He has BEEN a disgusting bigot. You were fooled. Own it. Don't say he's "crazy" now or whatever.

This kind of shit is one strike, then you're done.

At this point it is that stark for companies that choose to collaborate with White Supremacists.

You cannot do such things without losing everything. That's the message (through action) we gotta send to companies who do this.
