I don’t care how annoying someone is, nobody deserves to be ridiculed over something he or she cannot control. How would you feel if someone treated your kid or family member that way? What if your joke was the one that pushed someone over the edge? Could you live with it? Call out people for being full of shite or annoying, but making fun of a disability is about as despicable as it gets.

Example

Posted by LSUgirl4 online on 12/15/18 at 11:32 pm to OweO have you ever fallen down stairs in your wheelchair? do you just lie there with the drool on your face until someone comes over and cleans you up? do you have to sit in your own fecal matter until your arse gets wiped?


When you get to the point in life where you think talking to someone like this is ok, you need to remove yourself from the situation and get some help.

Downvote away. Idgaf.

If you're going to make fun of someone, the key is to make sure it's actually funny. That shite in the OP is lame af.

Making fun of someone you care about, and it's half in jest, as a commentary, half real, as in you can see them capable of correcting it, is OK.

Everything else has no place. Ever.

What if drawing more attention to said joke pushed them over the edge.

I would just leave it alone. Everyone can see it's in poor taste

OweO's disability isn't what makes him retarded

Making fun of his disability is definitely shitty, but make no mistake, oweo has deliberately earned some criticism round here. Which his disability doesn't shield him from.

Are you trying to appeal to emotion with that argument? It has no basis in logic.

I agree 100%. Making fun of the fact he is disabled is another matter.

Yeah, that's just mean spirited.

Yeah. It's one of those things that people wouldn't actually have the nerve to say if they were actually facing a person rather than a computer screen.

Not as mean spirited. Don't ask me why.

Actually, I do know why. Women don't seem to get the nuances of talking shite. The art of being a dick but not an a-hole.

Yeah, Oweo cripple jokes are lame. That said, he always rolls with the punches (which speaks positively to his self-confidence) so I think over time it's been accepted as fair game.
