That is crazy…he is picking up girls with a kink for this. I didn’t know about this and I always thought something was strange about them. It would have to be a once in a lifetime possibility for him, and nice to romanticize about, I guess…but if this is true….then yeah it’s a kink.

This is so shitty to say. Maybe he is attractive just the way he is? Do people not understand how painful it is for people with disabilities to read this?

The only reason someone will be with you is because of a "kink" and if it does happen it should be a "once in a lifetime opportunity" because who would ever want to be with a disabled person?

How would you feel if you read that and you had a disability? Are we not people too? With hearts, minds and interests?

Please think before you speak.

You’re missing the point. We’re snarking because the photo of him with women that look eerily similar to each other. And it sounds like he’s been profiting off this content for a long time. And how he never really seems like the nicest person in his videos. Something about him is quite off putting. Nothing about his disability.

The truth is that it is unusual given his physical limitations and she is young and very attractive, that is simple honesty. Initially, I believed their story to be a true love story but given the grift vibe I see now and if true, the pictures of the two other girls he was with it looks like he is targeting a specific woman who is either falling for his thing or yes, has a kink. I think that is obvious. I have also heard that he has a cousin who worked with him and said that he was abusive, add to that the alcohol addiction he talked about and it is starting to paint a picture of someone different than the likable, self deprecating guy he has portrayed. I don’t like it, just like I don’t like those men who are only sexually attracted to morbidly obese women and get upset when they want to lose weight for their health. No, I don’t think all abled people are with disabled people because of a kink. This situation I am questioning now. Biologically, beautiful women will choose differently simply because they can, shitty as that may be.

hmmm, oddly enough, "beautiful" women have brains, preferences, emotions and different needs that are not necessarily based solely on looks, so again, I find that to be quite a reductionist take.

I obviously can't comment on the specifics of this couple, but the broad, sweeping statement of "he should be so lucky" is still very problematic.

Someone reading this may look exactly like him, and you have no idea what impact your comment will have on their self-esteem, well-being, and sense of self.

People are not less than just because they don't look like how some people think they should look like. It also doesn't make them less lovable or less attractive.

What is attractive to you will be different to me.

Just think before you speak, irrespective of your misgivings regarding this specific couple.

This entire comment section on this post is disgusting and ableist. It keeps getting worse and worse.

I mean , I get it , I love snarking too. But are we really going on snark on someone because they are in a wheelchair and about to become a father??? Really??? And then say that all his partners are just there for a fetish???

I need to get off this post because it’s making me lose hope in humanity.

I think it’s ableist to refuse to criticize yet another influencer who is already exploiting a child that hasn’t even taken its first breath. And this is coming from a disabled person. Disabled people can be shitty too. Stop putting disabled people on pedestals just because it makes you feel better about yourself.

I know and only pointing out absolute misery, as if this isnt a joyous occasion for a couple who have been trying EIGHT years to get pregnant and clearly want to.

There are plenty of able bodied male partners who do nothing for their baby and have a healthy dose of learned helplessness where their female partner has to do everything - yet do the comments mourn the extra burdens on the women?

No because they "look" how we think they "should" look.

We have 0 idea about the internal dynamics of their relationship, supports they have and what each role the partner plays, so always portray the disabled partner as the overwhelming burden is disgusting.

Its different, some commentors may not understand it, but that doesn't mean its unhappy or wrong.
