some things that horror movie culture has taught you are scary…. are just ableist

image

….clarify?

okay sure. psychosis? scarier to have than to know someone who has it. DID? im more a threat to myself than people around me. wheelchairs and psych meds? are tools that help people live more functional and flexible lives and are not judgments of the persons character and for sure are not scary things. and for real, intellectually disabled people are not threats, but movies love to make them villains because they act different and understand the world differently. and people with notable physical differences? people who’s bodies look different? people with scars, growths, amputations, etc? are literally just people. and seeing themselves painted like monsters on the big screen is absolutely sickening and damaging to how society will see them.

its not only bad writing but its extremely harmful to people who actually live with conditions that are misrepresented in media. when i found out i had DID, my mom freaked out because her only point of reference was Sybil. when i was younger and first went on psych meds, i thought it meant i was set on a track to be a bad person, because in so many movies and video games you find out the bad guy has medication in his bed side table for some sort of psych disorder. the worst thing a hallucination has ever made me do was wake my mom up at 3 AM to check my bathroom to see if the bugs i saw everywhere were real and the worst thing an “episode” of any sort has made me do is hurt myself. my ptsd doesnt make me kill people, my alters dont kidnap people, my autism doesnt make me so morally unaware that ill murder for senselessly, my ocd doesnt make me hurt people etc etc etc

literally the only “horror” is the ableism. and the only way you can write good horror about disability and mental illness is if the focus is on how society and the medical field treat us rather than focusing on how we are apparently so scary, threatening, and bad.

Horror is and has historically been an incredibly ableist genre, and it is still largely unrecognized as such. This has genuine severe and real-life consequences for disabled and neurodivergent people in real life. Please keep this in mind if you are abled and/or neurotypical.

also asylum horror is deeply ableist.

oftentimes an asylum is much scarier for people who need to be there. surprise! you’re considered incompetent, so no one while believe you if you report abuse. so those doctors can really do anything to you.

Yeah, like, occasionally there’s one asylum horror that understands that it’s abandoned-prison-horror. Where the rusty restraints and the old messages of desperation from people who wanted out suggest the horrifying presence just out of view of the ghost-doctor or nurse who could do anything to you.

But most asylum horror is ‘crazy people are scary’ ableist bullshit.

First slide of a series of drawings. It's titled "How to: Draw a Blind Character". It reads further "But first: a quiz." It then shows four portraits of four different characters that look very average and do not have any special characteristics. Under each one of them, there is text: First character: Is this: a) someone sighted, b) someone with Leber's congenital amaurosis, c) someone who could be either of the above? Second character: Is this: a) someone sighted, b) someone with optic nerve hypoplasia, c) someone who could be either of the above? Third character: Is this: a) someone sighted, b) someone with neuromyelitis optica, c) someone who could be either of the above? Fourth character: Is this: a) someone sighted, b) someone with retinitis pigmentosa, c) someone who could be either of the above?ALT
Second slide. The text reads "If you answered C: congrats! There is no magic way to tell if someone is sighted or blind just by looking at them from the outside. There are some conditions that have a specific look that might let you know they're blind, as well as some conditions that have a specific look that might make you think they're blind. It's true! "Blindness" is not a single condition. It's a spectrum with thousands of conditions that could cause someone to be on it." There are three portraits of different characters below that. The first person has long silvery straight hair, very light skin, and blue eyes that point in the opposite directions. The text under her reads: "This person has Chediak-Higashi Syndrome, which causes: photosensitivity, nystagmus, immunodeficiency, neurological abnormalities, ataxia, etc., high mortality, oculocutaneous albinism (OCA), blindness/visual impairment [the last one is underlined]." The second portrait is of a Black man with dark skin, black hair, and blue eyes that are shaking from side to side. The text under him reads: "This person has type 1 ocular albinism (OA), which causes: photosensitivity, nystagmus, reduced eye pigment, blindness." The last portrait is of a South Asian woman in a purple hijab. She has black bangs sticking out of it. Her eyes are very small. The text under her reads: "This person has microphthalmia, which causes: significantly smaller eyes, blindness/visual impairment depending on severity, other things if syndromic." "As you can see, these are not the same. Even though they are all blind or have low vision, their symptoms are different." Below is a chart. It reads "consider", and shows two options. The first one is marked with a red X. It reads: "I want to make a blind OC → [gives them white/closed eyes and/or a blindfold and calls it a day]." The second one is marked with a green checkmark. "I want to make a blind OC → I will decide what medical condition they have → [gives them symptoms and aids that make at least some amount of sense]."ALT
Third slide. It's titled: "Okay, but how do I signal that my OC is blind if they're not wearing a blindfold or at least have that blank stare??" "So glad you asked!" Below is a diagram titled: "Aids to Give Your Blind OC." It shows multiple drawings of a stick figure with various aids. It reads: "These are the main basic options:" "Mobility white cane! "Literally just a stick. White length with red on the bottom. Tip can have a billion different shapes (check description)." Next to it is a scale comparing the size of the cane to a person. Three lengths are marked: nose, shoulder, and sternum. The text underneath reads "longer = better for fast walkers". Next to that is a diagram of a striped cane. Text reads: "A red-and-white striped cane symbolizes deafBlindness in many countries." Below it is a diagram showing a shorter, thinner cane being held. "Identification cane! Shorter, thinner, lighter. Designed to inform others that the user is low vision/blind, not to aid mobility. For other cane types: check the description. It's a stick either way." There is a small warning sign next to a drawing of a mobility impairment cane. Text: "Wrong cane: This cane is used for mobility impairment." The diagram on the right side of the slide reads: "Guide dog! Pros: Dog Cons: Learning to draw a dog." "In 95% of cases: Labrador, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, Standard Poodle, Bernese Mountain Dog, Some mix of the above. No, a Chihuahua wouldn't work." The drawing is of a stick figure with a Labrador in a harness. Below is the same thing, but the Labrador was replaced with a miniature horse. Text: "Guide horse! I promise it's real." Text at the bottom of the page reads: "Try to think about your character as a person. Do they spend a lot of time indoors? A cane might be better. Are they afraid of dogs? Consider a miniature horse."ALT
Fourth slide, titled: "But The Eyes!!!" "Fair, they do look different sometimes. But in what ways?". There are multiple types of "different eyes" shown drawn step by step. 1) Strabismus Basically: eyes pointing in different directions Literally just move the irises: strabismus can be on one side or both, and can be in any direction. 2) Nystagmus (dancing eyes) Basically: eyes moving very fast involuntarily If you've ever drawn smear frames, then this is basically a mini version of that. Adding a few lines of the eye's color and of the pupils to mimic horizontal movement generally works for this. 3) Cataracts Basically: white/gray pupil. Draw eye → click bucket tool → color the pupil a lighter color. 4) No eyes No explanation needed, I think. Unless you're doing some mega-closeup, just color it red. If they're anemic, it can be light pink. Despite what many, many, many people (artists especially) think, there is no blood, gore, or injury happening here. Unless you think that pulling on your lower eyelid also creates eww scary gore. A conformer is essentially a big-ass contact that helps the eye hold shape without costing a billion dollars. It has holes in it, which looks cool. Many people born without eye(s) will have them closed. Generally speaking, eyelid atrophy occurs when there's nothing (no eye/conformer/prosthesis) there, and then it can be hard to open your eyes. 5) The goddamn white eye everyone wants to draw for some reason Basically: a real existing condition called corneal opacity, not something that happens to every blind person. Or ~95% of them... Often discolored sclera. Blood vessels can be much more visible. White/grayish opacity over the pupil and iris. Below it is a drawing of someone who has perfectly white (#FFFFF) eyes with no pupils, irises, or anything. The caption reads "Literally doesn't look like this." Text at the bottom, in bold: "If your character has gone blind due to an accident/injury, please read the links in the description."ALT
Fifth slide, titled: "Albinism Special because I know the Tumblr artist userbase." Text below reads: "OCA: oculocutaneous = hair/skin/eyes all affected OA: ocular = eyes affected (skin/hair can be to a very mild degree)" "Albinism has symptoms! It's not an aesthetic/quirk. Less pigment = bigger vision problems. Erasing symptoms of albinism is disability erasure, by the way." There are screenshots of all the types of albinism (OA, OCA, all types of both of these, Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, Chediak-higashi, and Griscelli syndromes), captioned "There are a ton of types of albinism, by the way". In the middle is a drawing of a person with albinism. There's arrows pointing to their features, labeled as: Strabismus, White cane (heart emoji), Lighter hair color if OCA, Lighter skin if OCA, Using sunglasses for photophobia (photophobia is underlined). The text next to them reads: "Sunglasses are both a stereotype and a real disability aid. If your character has photophobia (light causes pain), then sunglasses will work great. But they're not something all blind people wear." At the bottom of the page are multiple drawings of eyes of people with albinism. There's a light blue eye of someone very light skinned captioned "OCA1", a hazel eye of someone with a light brown skin tone captioned "OCA3", and a grayish blue eye of someone with very dark skin captioned "OA1". They all have a small green checkmark next to them. Text next to them reads: "There are many colors, actually!" On the right, are two eyes, both on people with very light skin. One eye is bright red, and the second one is purple. There is a red X next to them, and the caption reads: "Literally just an illusion. Eyes can look red/violet in bright ass light because you're seeing blood vessels."ALT
Sixth slide titled "Other things to think about:". Text below: "Blindness is a spectrum. Only about 15% of blind people have No Light Perception (NLP)." Below that is a portrait of a Black woman in a hijab, smiling and looking to the side with slightly crossed eyes. There's text next to her that reads: "1) Yes, blind people do smile even if they can't see anything (?). 2) Yes, most blind people can move their eyes. 3) Yes, most blind people turn towards the person they're talking to. 4) Yes, a lot of blind people can track things with their eyes, and they're not faking." Below that is a blue text box that reads: "If this is your idea of ​​a blind person, then please know there is already a type of person who can see, and we call them sighted." There is an arrow leading to a drawing of a person with long blue hair and a blindfold covering their eyes. They have no mobility aid. There's a speech bubble attached that reads: "I can still see with Magic/Tech/Sci-Fi BS of the day, by the way. What's "disability erasure"." On the right side of the image, text reads: "Give your OC community (any kind). Disabled people aren't rare, and we stick together (smile emoji)." Under that is a drawing of a Black woman with cataracts, who has an ID cane in her left hand, holding hands with an Indian DeafBlind woman who has a white cane in her other hand. They're both smiling.ALT

“Tutorial” on how to “draw” a blind OC.

My kofi

Boring tired disclaimer: Keep in mind that this is an introductory “drawing” “tutorial” and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. Which happens to be true for everything in general. Links below so that you can research and do a nuance. Ones that were directly mentioned are bolded.
