i will never understand the insane takes against having games be more accessible
fellow LSN disabled people, this is coming from a place of much compassion and love. i hear you when you say you’re jealous of MSN/HSN people’s support. how you wish you could have such support. mental health is complicated and it’s hard to see through emotions and trauma.
but i really need you to understand that our higher support needs disabled friends aren’t inherently privileged for having said support. while it may be that if you had that same support your QOL would improve, they most likely need the support you’re jealous of to literally survive.
the point i really want to make here is there is a difference between support for QOL and support to SURVIVE. people die without these supports. that is not a privileged position to be in.
you’re allowed to be upset and angry that you don’t have the life you want and deserve, but please focus those feelings on society and governments. because they are the ones that created a world in which it is so hard for us to exist.
we need to be friends to each other, not throwing around misdirected anger and blame. please take time to listen to MSN/HSN disabled people and learn about their experiences, there are so many people out there begging to be heard.
this disability pride month please remember to keep ur posts accessible. describe ur images/videos/gifs/audios, keep ur posts in easy to read plaintext (no colors, no funky effects, just plain), and tag things like flashing and eyestrain.
if u dont know much about how to go about this, this is a good opportunity to learn more about visual accessibility! if u need a place to start, u can join the peoples accessibility server for tons of resources and help with descriptions (link)
