ABLEISM IN THE CLIQUE LETS GO HERES A THREAD OF SHIT YALL NEED TO STOP DOING
1. telling people to shut up when they complain about debby or any other people related to 21p
2. saying it's okay that they registered jim as a service dog because josh has anxiety
3. stop faking disabilities to get ahead in the line. this has caused actual disabled people to be questioned/treated differently
4. stop calling people dumb for not understanding references or jokes. this is ableist because ppl like me who have autism have a hard time understanding jokes and references and calling people dumb is rude
tw r slur
5. stop bullying people for looking "retarded" or different. this has happened numerous times within the clique for YEARS especially with jokes about 21p fans being "special" or "snowflakes"

6. stop using the word cripple if you are not physically disabled. this should not have to be said but i see it CONSTANTLY it is not your word to reclaim
7. don't get mad at people who complain about the joseph's not social distancing. immuno compromised individuals RELY on people social distancing to survive the pandemic so it's their right to question 21p for ignoring this
8. stop making trigger warning jokes.
9. just because tyler joseph has used words like insane and crazy, does not mean you should treat them like they aren't serious words. mental illnesses affect real people they are not an adjective to call someone casually
also with the above point, everyone individually feels different about the usage of those words but personally it feels insensitive to call people "psycho" and insane like it's not a serious issue
10. stop speaking over disabled peoples voices. this should be obvious. but when people have spoken out on injustices within the clique in the past, we get shut down or told we're attention seeking. respect our voices
if anyone has anything else to add please quote this and i'll add it
11. stop making fun of people for having messy rooms/appearance. disabilities affect us all differently and someone may not have the ability to clean their rooms or shower in that moment and that's okay
tw r slur
12. saying retard is absolutely never okay unless you're neurodivergent. mocking stims (for example hitting your chest to make fun of stims) is never okay. fake twitching/jerky movements aren't okay either

13. please put epilepsy warnings on your edits!!!!!! this is so important!!! lots of clique edits have flashing lights because of the nature of 21p but please trigger warn it!!
14. i've also seen people during the trench tours make fun of ppl who sit down before or during shows. this is not because they aren't enjoying it but standing for long periods of time hurts people sometimes and that's okay!!!
15. NOT EVERY DISABILITY IS VISIBLE!!!!! saying someone is faking it, or not believing someone when they say they're disabled, is ABLEIST. I have physical AND mental disabilities and i'm treated like i am completely abled when i am not.
16. i stole this from kars's thread but don't baby people!!! seriously!! autistic babies are not your uwu precious baby. people who use wheelchairs are not helpless. don't baby us or try to help us when we don't specifically ASK you to
not autistic babies omg autistic people***
17. making fun of special interests or hyperfixations!!! for example, making fun of someone for spam tweeting about an interest other than 21p!!! or mocking someone for "changing" what they stan frequently
