The Fetishization Of Limb Loss In Media
the fetishization of limb loss in media
why. literally why. like everyone has at least one oc with like a fake arm or leg. their disability is not seen as a disability because people think prosthetics like fix you or something. you never see someone with rotationoplasty or any limb difference that isn't at least half amputated. maybe someone lost a finger or toe and they wear a prosthetic??? why??? people don't do that. also. prosthetics don't move or work like natural limbs. god please stop. as someone with an upper limb difference, I can confidently say that people who use arm/ hand prosthetics are a minority. we have been using our arms our entire lives and where someone sees no hand, or a misshapen hand, we just see ourselves. we have adapted to life, we hold things strangely but we hold things. we don't need hunks of metal so people feel more comfortable with the way we hold shit like really?? maybe your oc with a bionic leg, doesn't have a bionic leg that looks identical to his other leg. maybe he uses a weelchair, or crutches. maybe your oc with a bionic arm, doesn't have a bionic arm and instead of pretending to have representation, actually do some research. maybe they have a club foot, maybe symbrachydactyly, maybe they are missing a finger and they don't wear a prosthetic pinkie?????????? food for thought xo

Sum traditional art! I like drawing outside
reasons i haven’t replied back:
- i’m socially exhausted - i don’t have the time right now - i don’t know how to reply - i have a bad memory and got distracted - i’m having a depressive episode and don’t have the energy to socialise
not reasons i haven’t replied back:
- i’m ignoring you just because - i hate you - i’m fed up with you - i don’t want to be your friend anymore
And it feels like falling into the sea // From outer space in seconds to me // And I play discordant days on repeat // Until they look like harmony
