I warned you.
I hate inspiration porn when it comes to PWDs (like me) being objectified because wooopdeedooooo we're doing something that abled people can do because woooooooo we're disabled.
WE'RE DISABLED BECAUSE YOU SICK FUCKS DON'T GIVE A FAT FLYING SHIT ABOUT UNIVERSAL ACCESS!
One example is when people go "please vote for this video because blablablabla" and the video is showcasing a bunch of PWDs being afforded a few days of diving by some nice people who think they're making the world a better place because look at me, I'm helping. Wooooo~
NO YOU'RE NOT HELPING. YOU'RE JUST MAKING FUCKING INSPIRATION PORN SO YOU ABLED PEOPLE CAN JUSTIFY NOT BEING A BUNCH OF LAZY GITS.
Let me explain to you how inspiration porn works.
Average lazy human being stumbles across a post that showcases a PWD doing the thing that they're supposed to be doing but it's a bit harder (but they have to do it anyway because life). Average lazy human sees/watches this and starts going "Oh, man... If this crippled can do it, why can't I? I should be able to do this right cos I'm abled."
I want to slap you so hard with your privilege.

So I wrote a response but I don't think anyone will have a second pass at it. Here's my schtick:
If you want to oggle inspiration porn, I'd like you to put yourself in our shoes. Which of our needs are not met within your locale and how do you fix it?
Go out there and find ways to make it a better place for all of us to interact with and experience.
Seek help in making it a safer, more accessible place for all of us.
Let me tell you a little secret.
Anyone and everyone can become disabled, and often, suddenly. So, no, don't get off your little high horse but think of the day where that horse bucks and you lie in a pool of stupid with your broken legs.
Then will you start thinking about what we have to go through as a PWD... because you're one too.
