Mainly wrote this out as catharsis for myself, but since there are still so few people talking about it and no accountability has been taken, I’m posting this here.

These are some of the quotes from Caleb Joseph’s recent ableist video

Here’s a link to the document too, I wanted to make a thread of the quotes but there was so many and the character limit makes it harder, but I am aware of the accessibility issues of posting it as photos, so hopefully this will help https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xTf1QNQgyPerDiPlDQW8vrt1rALPl0T_g3-ocstGsQ0/edit

In this video, he calls several teen movies about chronic/terminal illnesses “the fault in our stars rip offs” despite the fact that they’re based on very real illnesses that real teens experience (one of the movies was even based on a real person)

You may not find every single quote listed above to be particularly ableist, but some of them very much are and grouped together it’s a whole mess

Also highly recommend checking out this thread by @wordsbornn as it was partially what gave me the nudge to actually post this https://twitter.com/wordsbornn/status/1293918247293562880
