This is pretty horrifying.

Fucking Hell. Just learn about people’s experiences. The replies this tweet got are terrible.

Oh look, someone writes about a marginalized, misrepresented community constantly being shut out of an industry that wants to make portrayals of them, and all the commentariat fills up with self-righteous bros (who’ve never had to consider anyone outside of their own personal experience of the world) talking about how…

How would you know that, when the moment people show up to audition in wheelchairs, casting directors turn them away because they don’t want to go through the effort of putting ramps on sets? Yes, this literally fucking happens. “Holy Fucking Christ,” indeed. Care to reconsider the comment?

Yes, those shows are being reexamined. I mean BBT has plenty wrong with it, but the answer to your question is “yes.”

You weren’t kidding about that IG profile, that is some finely-curated content.

Reminds me of an early “Bob’s Burgers” joke where Linda is getting ready for a night out, and Bob is suspicious.
