Some Metaphors On Why You Shouldn't Touch A Person's Mobility Aid That May Help Explain To People Who

Some metaphors on why you shouldn't touch a person's mobility aid that may help explain to people who find "just don't do it, it's rude and dangerous" too difficult to grasp:

If you grabbed someone's handbag or backpack (or anything else they own and are using or carrying) they'd assume you were going to steal from them and automatically tense in expectation of violence. A mobility aid is an even more personal item than a handbag, and grabbing it is already a violent act of theft. Even if you don't intend violence, the feeling and result is similar to having a leg kicked out from under you, and you have literally taken it away without permission.

When it comes to wheelchairs the closest thing that an able-bodied person may have used is a bicycle. If you grab a person's bike when they are straddling it, even if the bike is stationary, this can be felt where the rider's body is in contact with the saddle or frame, and the addition of external forces can cause the bike to fall. Anyone who's ever dropped a bike on their foot, or been banged in the shin by a freewheeling pedal or chain knows how much this hurts! A wheelchair-user's body is in far more intimate contact with their chair, meaning they feel contact with their chair far more strongly, and even though the four wheels of a wheelchair make it less likely to fall, there are more moving parts close to the hands which are far more likely to cause serious damage than a dropped bike. Also, although a wheelchair's four wheels give it a greater degree of stability, the person seated on it generally has less stability, due to paralysis, muscle weakness, or some other condition, meaning that they may fall, even though their chair may not. (Another metaphor that may help with understanding this is remembering how it felt any time someone moved the dining chair you were sitting on, and how if the movement was not entirely smooth you probably wobbled a bit, and may even have jerked sideways or fallen if you were particularly unprepared and the movement rough.)

Grabbing a bike that's moving at speed is almost certain to cause it to wobble and probably fall, causing injuries. Even if the bike doesn't fall, having to fight these new forces can cause strain in the legs, a foot to slip causing bruises from the pedals, etc. Suddenly grabbing a wheelchair in motion, even on the handles, is a similarly jarringly dangerous experience. As already mentioned, a wheelchair user may fall instead of their 'bike', or their hands, which are propelling the bike in place of their feet, may be injured, their arms strained, etc.

Additionally, although injuries caused to a bike rider (or mugging victim) may cause them difficulties in travel, performing certain activities, etc, for a short while, injuries caused to a disabled person, particularly to their hands and arms, can seriously curtail all their activities, and if their condition involves problems with wound or bone healing, can actually further disable them permanently.

[ID: Two picture of genin Naruto, Iruka and Kakashi sitting at Ichiraku ramen.

First: Kakashi is on the right, in the background. Only the maskless side of his face is visible. Teuchi is standing in front of Naruto, smiling. Iruka is in the middle, looking down at naruto with a smile on his face. Naruto is on the left, looking at Teuchi and saying: "I'm going to be a ho-ka-geh!".

Second: Zoom on naruto's face. The image is blurry and red, like if the camera was shaking. Naruto is yelling: "HOKAGE!". End ID]

and he did

[ID: Drawing of Rock Lee and a hairless cat sitting under a green blanket. Lee is smiling and blusing. The cat's head is under Lee's, like they are on his lap. End ID]

Paper work ninjas looking over their paper work and seeing Rock Lee actually put in time off. They’re like “good for him he never uses his leave” “I hope he’s not in the hospital again”.

And he’s just busy with his new hairless cat.

remember when lee got to take off his training weights while fighting gaara??? because this is his reaction to gai sensei telling him he could take off his training weights while fighting gaara

those artists that draw those “the whole cast is just taking a nap together for some reason” fanarts that exist in pretty much every fandom are doing the lord’s work

So, I was playing Naruto ultimate ninja storm 2. You can give gifts to characters to increase friendship.

[ID: Picture of the game with a box asking: "Give "Ninjutsu Reference Book" to Lee?" With the options "Yes" or"No". End ID]

So already, giving a ninjutsu book to Lee is like the worst gift ever.

But what really angers me is that the gift for girls is a flower bouquet, meaning that you can't give it to boys.

What do you mean I can't give a fucking flower bouquet to my boy. How good can a game be if you can't give flowers to Lee.
