Welcome to the Disabled Oscars: Unmasking the Grand Illusion of Inspiration Porn

Now showing at a screen near you: “Disability Porn – The Inspirational Spectacle!” Thanks to our late rockstar activist, Stella Young, we’ve got a name for this blockbuster: the art of turning disabled people into your daily dose of motivation.

 

Non-disabled folks are hooked on inspiration porn, displaying disabled people as superheroes for simply living. Newsflash – they’re not defeating supervillains, they’re just facing obstacles created by society. But hey, who cares about small details, right?

 

The beauty of disability porn lies in its simplicity – a disabled person isn’t a person, they’re an ‘inspirational story’. A walking, talking motivational poster. Deep, huh?

 

And the cherry on top, it pushes the narrative that disabled individuals can’t have fulfilling lives. Remember, a disability is a tragedy, not just another slice of the human experience pie. But shush, that’s a trade secret.

 

So, here’s a thought: let’s ditch this ‘inspiration’ popcorn, and start appreciating disabled folks for who they really are – normal human beings with the same rights and dreams as everyone else.

 

To cap it off, disability or ‘inspiration’ porn isn’t just bad, it’s like a terribly made movie sequel nobody asked for. Let’s switch channels, folks. Time for a narrative reboot where everyone’s valued equally. What a twist!
