Tone Tags Are Not Your Punchline.

Tone tags are not your punchline.

Tone tags like “/j” “/srs” etc are accessibility tools. They help neurodivergent people understand the explicit tone of written text that would otherwise be only implicit and therefore difficult for us to understand. If you use tone tags in a joking or disingenuous manner, you’re not only going to end up confusing a lot of people, but it’s also just plain ableist to make a joke out of an accessibility tool, something that a lot of us rely on to understand and communicate with people online.

Especially considering the whole point of tone tags is for them to be used in the most genuine, accurate manner possible, someone knowingly misusing them just means they’re doubling down on their ableist disregard for neurodivergent people who might read it.

If you post something somewhere as a joke but end it with a “/srs,” fix it. Delete it. Don’t do it again. Tone tags are not your punchline.

(It’s autism awareness month)

Shoto insisting that Katsuki is his friend while katsuki yells about how they aren’t friends is peak autism behaviour on Shoto’s part. Like part of autism for a lot of us is us not realising that someone isn’t our friend and doesn’t like us because we don’t pick up on the fact they’re internationally being mean.

Sooo, it’s July 3rd and it is still Disability Pride Month, even if people aren’t talking about it!!!! Today’s assignment:

Take the “Are You Ableist?” quiz!! This quiz is not meant to shame you at all. It gives you easy steps to become an ally to the Disabled community <3

No Blackout for Disability Pride Month

Come on now. This is stupid.

If you want Tumblr to feel the sting of your disagreements, withhold money from them. That has worked in the past.

I am a Reddit migrator and I don't think you guys understand how important the difference between Tumblr and Reddit is.

Reddit doesnt have staff. They have volunteer moderators. These people donate free time to making the site function well. Without them Reddit wouldnt work at all.

Tumblr has staff, to everyone's chagrin. Unfortunately implementing the very stupidest ideas and pissing off their entire user base is what they get payed to do.

This means Tumblr needs money. So weaponize that, not disabled people's one time of year they get treated like kind of human. The disabled will always need us more than Tumblr ever will.

If you don't care about disabled people, sorry not sorry, I have better people to care about than you.

Just use your brain. We got Pride Month; it's the disabled/chronically ill community's turn now. Do not take this from them.

Do not take the disabled's community away.
