is this abt the disliking slow walkers = ableist or did something else also happen !

dude what LOL

yuh some1 was like "when u say u hate slow walkers ur being ableist because im slow bcuz of my disability!"

and we were all like "i don't think u should take it so literally it's just a way to express frustration at people who aren't considerate of other people on the sidewalk and don't make room to pass"

and then they were like "i'm being attacked AGAIN"

and then i was like "well if we're gonna play this game the reason i walk fast is bcuz i have adhd and get sensory overload really easily and walking fast drowns out my surroundings so getting stuck behind a slow walker could trigger my sensory overload"

and they were like "ok i guess?" or something equally sassy and it's like ya that's what i thought, accessibility only matters when it comes 2 u

**that was such a mouthful for essentially a stupid pointless argument

dude that's insane.. as a disabled person I genuinely despise when people use their disabilities to be assholes to others, like the world doesn't revolve around them. yes accommodations should be made for those who are disabled but if someone says they dislike slow walkers it's most likely directed at people who walk perfectly fine but choose to walk slow or are yapping to their friends and being in the way.

You usually figure out intent and honestly as annoying as it is most of us move on with our day and dgaf that much, people get their panties in such a twist over pet peeves that have nothing to do with disability

ya and then a bunch of people were like "able bodied people need to be aware of their internalized ableism! think about the words you say!" and it's like okay i get u have a disability but maybe stretch before that reach.

like why are we assuming everyone who has a problem with being called ableist for not liking *checks notes* when people walk slowly and don't allow room to pass is able bodied or doesn't have a disability or disorder themselves HUH??? checkmate athiests.

anyway it was stupid i'm over it.

able-bodied people definitely have internalized ableism but this is not a case of that, it can be but most of the time it never is that deep. there's nuance and context needed to discussions like these.

such a dumb argument they're fr fighting with air, I hope they realize they're arguing over something that isn't even a problem

no ya don't get me wrong i absolutely agree with that but i think gsm especially has a problem with policing people on non issues and it's like we can have productive, insightful, meaningful conversations about these things or we can jump on people for a turn of phrase that is very obviously not a slight against disabled people
