I see it's time to refer back to the This Mess rules.We are not here for your inspiration. These crappy videos dehumanize Disabled people. If you are about to post this shit, think about why you’re doing it and don’t do it. https://t.co/JajDHCGhIx— WMWDisabilityCaucus (@WMWDisability) November 27, 2017
1. Don't take pictures of disabled strangers without their consent.As always, inspiration porn uses the experience of a disabled person to evoke feelings in the viewer, usually by praising the heroism of an abled person. If one were going to report on this story, the correct journalist practice would be to inquire about the lack of support structures leaving vulnerable people at the mercy of the kindness of strangers. But first - get consent. Ask disabled people if they want their lives shared.
2. Don't share the pictures you shouldn't have taken to the internet without their consent. Their story is not your story to do with as you see fit.
AND ALL YOU FACEBOOK TYPES WITH YOUR CAMERAS: Respect disabled people's privacy. Be a better human.
