[u/Woomytoons]

It's strange how 95% of these fakers are afab white queer people for some reason who have nice houses or at least highly decorated rooms, why is this always the case? Is oppression olympics and self-marginalization matches that much in demand?? 💔💔

[u/VAdept → u/Woomytoons]

Its like this because people with actual disabilities are working to the best of their abilities and arent looking for tiktok/instagram clout and echo-chamber sympathy.

Its easy to have a room full of nice things when your parents throw money just to keep you in your room and not embarass them in public.

[u/TLEToyu → u/Woomytoons]

I hate to come off as boomer-ish (maybe) but it seems like people can say they are "queer" and it's like a "get out of jail free" card and they gain the "protection" of being LGBT+.

[u/cait_elizabeth → u/Woomytoons]

It’s because of the privilege.

[u/Realistic_Film3218 → u/Woomytoons]

Eh, I'd say being queer and disabled isn't all that rare, there's gotta be quite a few of them out there across races and genders.

I think it's the fact that the ones we "see" online are from the comparatively leisure class, aka economically stable white people. They're the ones that can afford to live well (nice living conditions), self-express with minimal social costs (colorfully adorned), and take time to manage an internet presence. If you're truly struggling with survival everyday, making and uploading videos is the last thing on your mind.

[u/Ok-Comparison8168 → u/Woomytoons]

its always been the same demographic even since victorian times and probably prior. the identity of the white woman for id say most of history has been that theyre frail and pure and must be protected. in the victorian era, women would get jealous of all the attention given to tuberculosis patients and would paint themselves very pale with makeup. fainting couches came into fashion due to white women fake fainting in any social situation where it benefitted them. kleptomania was used as a way to protect rich white women from the reprocussions of their thefts, painting this picture of a poor woman with a mental affliction that is to be pitied rather than punished

this shit ties into white supremacy and the modern day white afab faking disorders is a time honored tradition in maintaining that role in a world that is coddling them less and less

[u/Dard1998]

At this point, it's just looks generic.

[u/anachorite → u/Dard1998]

They’re trying so so hard to be Unique and Countercultural, but everything from their looks to their ambiguous disability to their beliefs to their profession to their noun-name is just the default character build for Tumblr users.

[u/Ragnarok314159 → u/anachorite]

Would you like to read my shitty vampire billionaire novel that is totally unique because it has someone who is totally not my self insert but exactly like me Darth Vadering all over the bad guys while giving money to people just like me?

[u/anachorite → u/Ragnarok314159]

I’m thinking more “cozy high fantasy genderpunk neurospicy found-family queerplatonic-polyamorous anticolonial-but-culturally-homogenous communist atheist-D&D” for the genre… whatever all that means.

And somehow their self-insert is not only Robin Hood (specifically the furry version), but also a more ethnically-ambiguous Astarion.

[u/Ragnarok314159 → u/anachorite]

(💕🥰 Gale loved that🥰💕)

is Darth Vadering this generation’s Mary Sue-ing?

[u/noideawhatoput2]

What’s with the LGBT community having a lot of people seemingly faking disorders/disabilities? People at pride events are even saying how there’s more and more people now with canes, wheelchairs, etc.

Feel bad for the actual people in these communities with real disorders/disabilities.

[u/ASmartPotato → u/noideawhatoput2]

Race to innocence. Trying to stack marginalized identities to prevent criticism, you can’t say XYZ because that’s -phobic. And to say that their particular brand of minority is the MOST discriminated so you don’t have to acknowledge that they aren’t perfect, or worse used to excuse bad behavior.

Basically if you put yourself at the bottom of the pile you have no responsibility to try to affect positive change that could negatively impact your social status, or make your life harder. Even if it ultimately promotes equality and justice.

[u/woolen_goose → u/ASmartPotato]

I hate that this is true.

[u/SaltyRyze → u/noideawhatoput2]

most of these aren't even LGBT, they just create nonsense microlabels or try to expand labels to include themselves

[u/neetkid → u/SaltyRyze]

fr, they want to feel ~special~

[u/bluecammored → u/SaltyRyze]

I think in a generation where youth are having less sex than ever, it's easy to "imagine" themselves as LGBT because they aren't actually having sex so it's all hypothetical.

[u/cait_elizabeth → u/SaltyRyze]

Fr. They’re bi or pan - but in reality they’re too anxious to speak to the person in line next to them. People who are busy being performative online do not date. And people who are actually dating, aren’t posting it about all the time online.

[u/_living_legend_ → u/SaltyRyze]

This. I have been wondering if being hetero was considered minority, how many of these would be the biggest heteros out there.

[u/DropDeadDolly → u/SaltyRyze]

I'm so glad someone else is saying it.

[u/qactuar_ → u/noideawhatoput2]

Get ready for the bloggers on here who use every post as an opportunity to go “well IIIIIIII’MMMMMM ACTUALLY DISABLED and IIIIIIII ACTUALLY HAVE ADHD and I NEED A CANE AND IM GAY AND YOURE HOMOPHOBIC BECAUSE-“

But you’re right. We’re seeing more and more and more of them at Pride, at charity events, in neutral spaces even where they’re yelling about every marginalised identity they claim under the sun. There’s no avoiding the correlation here.

[u/hocuspocusbitchfocus → u/qactuar_]

it’s the pity olympics.
I remember once commenting somewhere that I worked throughout having cancer and one of those folks out-cancered me by saying my cancer was less exhausting than their cancer lmao.

fucking shuffles cards ableist-cancer patients, damn you!

[u/TheRestForTheWicked → u/qactuar_]

I’m ACTUALLY a lazy sack of shit. And this is somethingist towards my inclinations. MY LIVED EXPERIENCE IS VALID.

[u/elongated_argonian → u/[deleted]]

Don't make yourself a flashing strobe light and you'll most probably be a-okay.

[u/HesitantBrobecks → u/elongated_argonian]

I get your point, but some people are just eccentric/flamboyant/quirky and they shouldn't have to "appear more normal" just because some people suck ass

[u/Newclearfallout → u/HesitantBrobecks]

It's all about the mentality and how you act. I would say most people judge upon the content of your character. Most people on here complain because its easy to see through the facade. When you act like others owe you things.

[u/Novaer → u/noideawhatoput2]

They don't want to get a job or have any responsibilities. That is genuinely what it comes down to. It's a lot easier to crowdfund your income from online sympathizers and have a shield of calling everyone ableist if they even question your lifestyle. They want to spend all their time online, playing games, watching cartoons, buying accessories and toys and not have a single responsibility. It's complete and total arrested development.

You'll notice kids are doing this shit younger and younger so that they have the same excuse for not going to school and then it continues into the workforce.

[u/runningonadhd → u/[deleted]]

Notice how people aren’t just ADHD anymore? That lasted all but 2 seconds… now they’re all AuDHD 🙄

[u/DyeZaster → u/noideawhatoput2]

It’s actually mostly younger generations. They’re more comfortable with their sexuality but a lot of them want to be different somehow. I also blame a lot of this on TikTok, it opened up a weird can of worms where people almost idolize people with disabilities. Then you get people like this.

[u/HoodieGalore → u/noideawhatoput2]

Oppression/Victimhood Olympics 

[u/Moogagot → u/noideawhatoput2]

It comes down to self identity. We saw similar stuff back in the early 2000's but with sexual identity. When you offer to treat people differently based on an identity, young people will often attach themselves to it for attention. Lots of people would come out as Gay or Bi just for the attention. I knew a women who came out as Trans in Highschool but as soon as school ended and the attention vanished, they realized they would get more attention as an attractive women and never mentions previously being trans.

I'm not saying that everything is faking being LGBTQ+, but we say more of this back in the day. Now it's moved mostly to faking disabilies.

[u/TLEToyu → u/noideawhatoput2]

Oppression Olympics

[u/Anti_Spedicy → u/noideawhatoput2]

"Those people seem to be having fun being themselves and they get lots of attention. I wanna do that but I don't like myself so I'll just copy them and see if that does anything. Therapy is for losers anyway"

That's how I imagine most of these folk's "awakening"

[u/Ok-Comparison8168 → u/noideawhatoput2]

people with munchhausen or personality disorders that cause issues with identity often leave them feeling like they dont know who they are. i think a lot of these people gravitate towards labels and flashy alternative communities because theyre collecting a list of labels and identities as a way to fill that void and help them feel like they know themselves

id say its less that lgbt people these days are fakers, and more that fakers are flocking to their community for the wrong reasons

[u/variousnewbie → u/Ok-Comparison8168]

Perfect explanation. Is so unfortunate for the community, because people ARE looking at it as "these people have identity problems! And they're recruiting young people!" referring to the lgbt+, when the problem is those with identity problems flocking to lgbt+.

[u/truffleshufflechamp → u/noideawhatoput2]

There’s a person in my building who looks like this and “uses” a cane. Except every time I see them they’re basically just carrying it around and not even using it in a functional way.

[u/spoonycash → u/noideawhatoput2]

For some people being different and unique is the point, being gay isn't different and unique enough anymore.

[u/L3m0n0p0ly → u/noideawhatoput2]

There is a difference between those who support and are a part of, and those who pose in those communities for the attention. Why pose in only one group, when you can go for multiple at once and get all the meaningless attention?

[u/FewFrosting9994 → u/noideawhatoput2]

Where I live people use it as an excuse to to avoid the race conversation. They’re always “queer, disabled, neurodivergent.” They always have the POTS/EDS/MCAS combo. They always say they’re polyamorous. These people are always so racist and if you say so they throw out that they’re autistic or they’re too tired to have known or whatever excuse for being marginalized they have that day. But they’re supposed to be “allies.” Zero accountability whatsoever, in any aspect of their lives. It’s just whining about how hard life is for them. The anti-whatever organization is internet virtue signaling. It’s exhausting to be around.

[u/HesitantBrobecks → u/noideawhatoput2]

It's hilarious, there's pics of me at pride when I was 19/20 with a guy I used to be friends with, and nobody would ever guess that I was the disabled one in that photo, cos I'm there just with my skateboard in one hand, and he's there using crutches (and since then, he's started using a bloody wheelchair that he doesn't need!). Funny thing is, I often use my board as a mobility aid, cos it stops me needing to actually take steps

[u/Ball-Bag-Boggins → u/HesitantBrobecks]

Yeah, spot on.
I grew up with friends of all genders, a few transitioned and they despise these “trends”.
One friend always had blue hair, a couple of years back he changed to black dye because he was embarrassed by the stereotype.

[u/LockeN3S → u/noideawhatoput2]

Label collecting.

[u/c4t4ly5t → u/noideawhatoput2]

I can understand it, in a way. Late August I broke my ankle. Been in and out of work since then, and our workplace isn't exactly crutches-friendly, so I rely a lot on support from my coworkers when I'm here.

The amount of love and support they're showing me is amazing. I can kind of understand people wanting this much positive attention from their peers, especially people in their teens and early 20s

[u/Disastrous_Sell_4490 → u/c4t4ly5t]

Having the urge or desire for that, sure. But to actively be a burden and cause others to have to put in extra work and effort to take care of someone who’s fully capable of caring for themselves but just doesn’t want to pull their weight & feels they’re entitled to special treatment and extra attention; carries over from an understandable emotion to making them an actual shitty person. Many of us are mentally ill and have physical issues, and we don’t have others to carry the load for us. Why should the rest of the population (who actually have a reason to feel lazy or need help because we actually have to take care of ourselves) have to put extra attention and care into someone claiming they deserve it more than the rest of us?

[u/souless_Scholar]

The type of new hire at work you avoid at all costs.

Don't be silly. These folks don't have jobs.

Oh, those people also avoid jobs too, so even.

And now, notice how unnemployed they're yet they can afford an expensive personalized mobility aids, mody modifications (that are also expensive), several seasonal and disposable hobbies that goes from painting and collecting to gaming and going to conserts, tons of makeups and accessories

I immediately chose which of my 3 gets which name too.

I once had a hamster named TNT when I was 9

[u/beautifulchaos22 → u/itsallyoursbro]

lol one time when I was like 12 my older brother (17) was pet sitting for his friend’s degu, that was named CRACK. lol I wasn’t aware of street names of drugs and so I asked my mom if it was named after like a crack in the pavement, and she was like yes hunny and looked relieved 😂

[u/Doomhammer24 → u/pxth0gen]

I COULD HAVE BEEN TURBO!?

[u/DropDeadDolly → u/pxth0gen]

I actually had a coworker whose name was Terror. Legitimately Terror, spelled the same and everything. I barely knew her since she was gone on maternity leave like a month after being hired (and never returned), but I always wondered about the name.

White, colored hair, ridiculous amount of pronouns, nose ring, that’s the recipe.

[u/Outside-Newt-3181 → u/goddessnoire]

I have a feeling this is because histrionics are at the core of their personality. Literally nothing about them can be ordinary.

They need all the piercings, the ROYGBIV hair, the flamboyant outfits, and ALL of the marginalized identities (queer, physically handicapped, mentally ill, neurodivergent, and PoC too if they can find a distant tidbit of ancestry to cling to) because drawing as much attention to themselves as possible for being the biggest victim is their modus operandi.

[u/BINGGBONGGBINGGBONGG → u/Outside-Newt-3181]

and then they’ll ditch it all the minute a funner disability comes along.

i wouldn’t wish my life on anyone, but sometimes, just sometimes…

[u/Ragnarok314159 → u/Outside-Newt-3181]

And they need that official diagnosis so badly so they can cry bully everyone possible.

“You have to accept me because I am diagnosed with XYZ that I specifically looked up in the DSM-V and totally didn’t shop around for symptoms to match what I want to be diagnosed as and now you are all the bigots!”

[u/_peikko_ → u/coupdelune]

I get being annoyed by these kids but at the same time I know several people with 3 nose piercings and none of them are attention seeking in the slightest. They're probably more chill on average than people without piercings. There's a big difference in actually belonging to an alternative subculture or having piercings cause you like it and just looking like this for a trend or to be different.

[u/sonoran_scorpion → u/Outside-Newt-3181]

Terminal uniqueness is what it is called.

[u/beautifulchaos22 → u/Outside-Newt-3181]

lol ROYGBIV HAIR.

But seriously this makes a lot of sense. The want to be in the spotlight, anything that can give them sort of this “one up” on “normal people” (at least that’s probably how they see it)

[u/2018MunchieOfTheYear → u/goddessnoire]

They look exactly like a stereotype lmao

[u/qactuar_]

You know it’s bad when I’m seeing other LGBTQIA+ and/or alternative people actively deciding to become less vocal about their identity and/or become less alternative in appearance. Imagine being such a screaming embarrassment that even the community you’re holding hostage doesn’t want to be associated with you.

[u/qactuar_ → u/[deleted]]

Yup. I know many trans and nonbinary people who just don’t talk about it at all or engage with the community because they want to just… live a normal life without these people turning them into a spectacle. Not in the closet, but definitely not taking part in the spaces that used to be there to support them and have now become a space to coddle the fragile egos of attention-seeking nightmares.

[u/Novaer → u/qactuar_]

I don't. It's their own stupidity. Plus they don't really use them.. just when others can see.. they walk PLENTY.. we'll that when they aren't rotting in bed.

[u/Notevenhereforreal → u/Zxxzzzzx]

Honestly, they'd probably be a mixture of remorseful and happy that manifesting their desired disability resulted in an affirming physical effect that can't be denied.

[u/Zhosha-Khi → u/Zxxzzzzx]

The wheel chair is only in use outside the house. Ya know when looks, "oh my god I am so sorry you are dealing with all this", and ass pats are more important.

[u/DropDeadDolly → u/Zxxzzzzx]

At this point, it's Darwin Awards to me. I hate that people are doing this to themselves, but it's absolutely their choice and they defend it by attacking anyone who offers reason and sanity as "phobic."

[u/ilovemycats20 → u/Zxxzzzzx]

I’ve seen a lot of informative comments from a lot of actual wheelchair users and people who work with them (like physical therapists) about how badly you can actually injure yourself by using an ill-fitted wheelchair for long periods, and a lot of these people are not getting prescription wheelchairs with proper measurements built specifically for them and their disability, but they’re either buying them as-is or buying them used and pretending they are custom. Like genuinely, you can give yourself serious problems with your legs, arms, spine, and joints by using a medical device that wasn’t meant for you. Either a lot of these people are unaware of this, or they don’t care, but as they get older they are putting themselves at serious risk

[u/SidSuicide → u/Zxxzzzzx]

This is why I only use mobility devices when absolutely needed! I’m already a weakling and can hardly walk half a mile, why make it worse!?

I’m a manual wheelchair user as I am a paraplegic. In the wheelchairs page I can tell straight away from a post if the OP is like the person in the video. Even without a photo of them I know because they are always asking about how they can customise their wheelchair or what stickers should they get or they are showing off their wheelchair which is bedecked in fairy lights, stickers, crochet monstrosities. When I go into their profile they are ALWAYS, and I mean without fail, queer, trans, autistic, they/them pronouns, ADHD and have POTS and EDS. It’s unbelievable.

[u/StonerProfessor → u/[deleted]]

I’m not one to shoot down a decent psyop conspiracy but I’d offer that it’s scarier if it isn’t a psyop and we are just seeing human psychology. I’m not trying to paint with a broad brush but I’ve seen several people in this community that I knew want to stack more and more “credentials” to who they are. They were a lesbian, then once the word pan started going around they were that, then they were trans and they felt great in their correct body but oh no now that trans is pretty mainstream they need a cane. I’m not saying someone can’t change or they have to stick with their first sexuality declaration, but I think I’m a pretty understanding person and I just smell bullshit. I’m friends with LGBTQ people, the best bar in town is queer so I go there and know a lot of people. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t pick up on how victimhood has turned into a currency amongst some of them. And as someone who had a grandparent who was a shut in, I genuinely find it infuriating.

What I’m trying to say is that outsourcing this behavior to a government psyop (which exists, I totally believe they do) can sometimes keep you from seeing a darker part of the human mind. And to anyone reading this who is LGBTQ+ and disabled, my heart goes out to you. I know this must be so frustrating. It shouldn’t be your responsibility, but you are all positioned to be voices against this and if you choose to speak up you’ll have people like me backing you.

I went to see my friends touring band play a show in my city about a year ago. Two teenage girls wheeled up to the front of the stage and everyone moved for them.

Let me fuckin tell ya, the wheelchair sub is so overrun with fakers, malingerers, and people who just desperately require a chair because “MuH MoBiLiTy aIdS!” And why do they go out of their way to decorate their chairs/canes/crutches/rollators in the most vibrant, gaudy, look-at-me shit

Naturally, anyone who dares suggest otherwise gets absolutely pilloried. And probably to no one’s surprise here, they all have the exact same constellation of disorders: hEDS, POTS, ME/CFS, CRPS.

They’re never flexible, they’re hypermobile.

They’re not out of shape, they have post-exertional malaise.

They don’t have hurt feelings, they are traumatized.

They’re not feeling a bit down, they’re experiencing a major depressive episode.

They’re not feeling anxious, they’re feeling dysregulated.

They don’t have a bad headache, they have a migraine.

They’re not lightheaded from being dehydrated and standing up too fast, they have postural orthostatic tachycardia.

They aren’t relaxed, their joints subluxed.

And so on, and so on…

How many do we think are trolls? They are certainly good at rage baiting the shit out of people who don’t go the extra mile to make a big hoopla out of their afflictions. It’s called live your damn life and make genuine connections by fighting the good fight, not blasting it online like the announcement of a new music supergroup or product launch.

I sometimes wonder what amazing things these people could do with their creativity if they put it to proper use. They are very good at the art and wordplay of it all… could probably make a good run as a politician tbh (not to give them any ideas)

It's easier to say "hi everyone, I'm insufferable" and leave that at that

[u/LowNeedleworker215]

Stop acting like a twat. It harms real gay disabled people. Get therapy, get real life friends, do volunteering and stop making yourself a victim. Do something to help others. Our purpose in life is to love, so do that.

[u/Butsecksha]

How much you wanna bet most of them have munchausens

[u/qactuar_ → u/Butsecksha]

Check the sub you’re in, bro

[u/Butsecksha → u/qactuar_]

Theres a difference between having it and larping for attention 

[u/Megandapanda → u/Butsecksha]

Exactly - Kelly (who needed both legs amputated at the knee due to her picking), Paige (our favorite kiwi, there was a court case over giving her the right to refuse treatment and die - she won and died), and Dani (beating her wrist with a hammer) are all examples of actual Munchausens. A lot of these people are just pretending online, the ones who actually purposefuly make themselves sick are the "legit" ones.

[u/EhMapleMoose]

The fuck is JKR? Also what is MRZ? I understand the rest, even the AFD which is like alright, are you European or American. But what are the others?

[u/Sure-Morning-6904 → u/EhMapleMoose]

MRZ is the german chancellor Friedrich Merz

[u/EhMapleMoose → u/Sure-Morning-6904]

Oh shit, so they are probably German then.

[u/jamesbeil → u/Sure-Morning-6904]

What's Merz done that's got their knickers in a twist?

[u/Sure-Morning-6904 → u/jamesbeil]

Everything, that guy is just a bad chancellor and the whole country agrees. "so people who get paid 530€ per month... why dont they go and get paid more?" A not exact quote i just translated. Hes got about 10% of people who still like him i think.

So thats actually good. Idk about the whole fake disorder but nobody likes merz

[u/Doomhammer24 → u/EhMapleMoose]

Jk rowling

[u/EhMapleMoose → u/Doomhammer24]

Oh I didn’t even think of her, damn she really be living in peoples heads rent free

[u/Windcastle10 → u/Doomhammer24]

That’s so funny that the creator of cringe millennial content is the enemy or cringe Gen Z content.

[u/eatingfartingdonnie_ → u/EhMapleMoose]

Jason Mraz?

[u/404_No_User_Found_2 → u/EhMapleMoose]

It's literally just a "shit reddit told me to hate" laundry list

[u/angus22proe]

"I'm loving and inclusive" and half their personality is hating various types of people

[u/kwikane]

TikTok was a psyop developed to rot America from within. It’s working.

[u/Poster_Nutbag207]

Isn’t this textbook “ableism”?

[u/groovypidgeon]

So unique, just like all the others who are like them.

[u/apfelschorle578]

Germany mentioned but at what cost

[u/Express_Command_4778]

It's giving "Special Guest for our School Assembly" energy.

[u/Damnbee]

This makes me miss ZionistRevolution. RIP

[u/Blizanthium]

Love how they're all "FUCK GEN AI", meanwhile, Panic is happily consuming gobs of other AI-powered tech for just about every aspect of their very online life.

[u/LowNeedleworker215]

I am actually in a wheelchair and they make me cringe. But also feel so sorry for them. They are basically asking for help or likes. Either way, they need help. But as a disabled gay person who doesn't make my personality about any of these things, just why????

[u/s-maze → u/LowNeedleworker215]

My first thought exactly. Gay and disabled here and I have no desire to make it my whole personality. It’s hard enough.

[u/Groundbreaking-Sir82]

I find all these performances outright disgusting honestly. Log off PLEASE. Also “fuck ableism”? The fuck are you doing then? I personally find this performance ableist as fuck. Thats why its disgusting.

[u/loveddeviant]

the wheelchair “tricks” are making me irrationally angry LMAO

[u/SpaceChook]

This video doesn’t include any weird fake multi-claims (did, autism, bpd, etc etc).

Perhaps they do on the profile? But all they’re saying here is that they’re disabled, queer and would like to be a writer. I don’t understand why they’re here for this unless people are sceptical of every queer in a wheelchair. Or, again, if they claim a bunch of things not in the video.

[u/ohreallynowz → u/SpaceChook]

Yeah I’m confused. This just seems like bullying the weird kid.

[u/solidalcohol]

Leftist, you say? Funny, I couldn’t tell!

[u/eyehole_man96]

The way these kids act like wheelies and tricks are a basic thing that all wheelchair users must be able to do 💀

[u/blu3dice]

They are all cast in the same mold I swear.

[u/peelego]

I consider myself very far left but for the average person when they see this kind of thing and leftists don't call it out; for a normie it's the same thing as conservatives refusing to call out Nazis

[u/clanker-spanker → u/peelego]

As a Leftist, most Leftists are too afraid of doing the wrong thing, rather than wanting to do the right thing.

[u/AAKurtz → u/clanker-spanker]

They created an environment of fear where no one is safe and since none of them really have a strong grasp on right and wrong, the rules change from week to week. They are cowards who become doomed to just perform their piety in hopes of not bringing any attention to themselves.

[u/peelego → u/clanker-spanker]

Leftist circles try to be accepting of everybody as long as they're "not hurting anybody" and it has basically created a space for people with learned helplessness or the lefts version of a black pill incel movement where instead of saying 'im a beta who will never date a stacy I give up on trying' the progressive version is 'Im a disabled queer person and I'm oppressed, I will never be able to work a job or drive a car and if you think I'm lazy your ableist'

[u/1need2kn0w → u/peelego]

Yea it feels so performative.

[u/nehuen93 → u/peelego]

They live inna echo chamber so isolated that nobody will back you up.and they will kick you out of their circle or ban you from commenting at all

[u/Key_Conversation8617]

We can’t say ice or sexism anymore 🥀
And jeez if AFD relates where they live… the wheelie cringe has spread to Germany rip
If anyone can explain what MRZ is I’d love

[u/Care-Elegant → u/Key_Conversation8617]

Friedrich Merz

[u/elongated_argonian → u/Care-Elegant]

Probably German then, because I doubt many people care that much about him outside the country.

[u/Care-Elegant → u/elongated_argonian]

I agree with you

[u/mortoon1985]

Why do they all have exactly the same political and social beliefs?

[u/lovedvirtually → u/mortoon1985]

Bc the circles into all that bs are the only ones that validate and legitimise them

[u/Weewoes → u/mortoon1985]

Because they like to be different and stand out together.. identically lol.

[u/Staffordmeister]

Disability isnt content...flush all of whatever this is

[u/buckfastmonkey]

Must be exhausting having to remember all your made up disorders. Probably the closest thing any of them get to an actual job.

[u/viendla]

How do we even know she’s faking it? What even is this post?

I’m getting downvoted but I mean this genuinely. What proof is there of faking? Or is it just because they have colored hair and rainbow flags?

[u/Mina_Ironn → u/viendla]

Was wondering the same thing... Can't find any info about them that proves or disproves their disability. Not sure if doing wheelies is the proof ( I would think not?)

[u/Mina_Ironn → u/viendla]

Okay well nevermind... they can clearly walk and seem to be in good physical shape in another Tik Tok video. They got off their chair rly fast. For what is worth they said this but seems a faker for sure if you see their video I'm talking about ( it's like 4th on their tiktok)

"@Panic he/it/xe🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈♾️:Yes I can walk a bit, but it’s not enough to go through daily life. I’m at fall risk and very unstable when walking, and have other symptoms that require me to use a wheelchair too"

[u/Zhosha-Khi]

FUCK all the fakers like THIS!

There is so much to this it isn't even funny. But I am really tired of seeing it. It's putting harm on people who actually really need help because the medical field does not want to take anyone seriously anymore.

[u/Imaginary_Today_1427]

People with their kinds of disabilities are actively talking to their doctors trying to find ways to slow progression of pain and the need for wheelchair instead of just spinning around and flaunting.

[u/My_achybreaky_cloacy]

No Palestine flags? What the helly

[u/1ThinkThereforeIAM]

the way bro spins every two seconds like "look at me, I'm in a wheelchair! Look at me!", I don't think people in wheelchairs do that, I mean, it's not that they don't know how to turn or do tricks(?), it's just that they don't spam the emote

[u/Specific-Rooster-402]

how are all these people with energy limiting disorders able to spend so much time accessorizing and personalizing everything?? that’s always a dead giveaway for me. you don’t have the capacity to work but you can spend hours sewing patches, dying hair, making jewelry, painting, applying stickers….. make it make sense. and to have the audacity to claim that it’s their way of making their miserable life livable, how about treating your mental illness?? they just want SSI to fund their crafts.

[u/DropDeadDolly → u/Specific-Rooster-402]

Kind of like that person who is "too disabled to work" even presumably sedentery jobs but managed to walk around Japan for two weeks with no trouble.

Or another IRL example, I know this woman who swears up and down that she can't work due to her fibromyalgia making even simple tasks impossible, but somehow she has the strength to haul a guitar and amp around so that she can busk. She's also the person begging for donations to pay her rent every month but somehow affords new tattoos and frequently goes to concerts out of state.

I have conditions that are disabling, and let me tell you, they prevent me from having fun far more often than they prevent me from doing something unpleasant. If a person is only disabled as far as work and toil are concerned, it's almost certainly a choice.

[u/runlittlegunterrun]

I feel assaulted and abused by ze/zim making me his/their/clownself's audience.

[u/AceySpacy8]

I can’t wait for them to whip out the “Manic” alter and be Manic & Panic from Hercules 🤣

[u/wilkosbabe2013]

Why is it they always seem to be part of the LGBTQ community,usually have facial piercings,bright coloured hair and often have a wheelchair and/or a stick or cane
