“Ice bucket challenge for mental health awareness” actually shut the fuck up. Shut up.

The ice bucket challenge was created to raise awareness for ALS research!! A disease that still has no cure and is 100% fatal! A disease that was and is severely overlooked in research.

The shock of the ice represents the way ALS sufferers feel upon their diagnosis, and mimics the loss of control they feel over their bodies.

I hate watching this history be erased. Like that’s not what this is for!

Like yes mental health awareness but it is also a form of ableism to come into spaces that are specifically for terminal illnesses and terminal illness awareness and claim it as something else now. Like sorry Im actually really fucking mad about this I watched my aunt die. I watched her die slowly and painfully and saw people stop caring the worse she got because we live in an ableist as hell society.

The ice bucket challenge is about ALS and if you are claiming it’s about mental health you have no idea about the toes you are stepping on right now and the painful history of this space.

Through Hong Jinyoung senior's nomination, we participated in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. However, instead of a ice water shower, we decided to participate and add meaning onto the Lou Gehrig's Recuperation Hospital donation taking at the Seungil Hope Foundation. I hope many people will come together and become of help to Lou Gehrig's patients.

Tablet translations:

"ALS Ice Bucket Challenge" "Please support together" "Seungil Hope Foundation Shinhan Bank 100-028-685586"

I'm sorry, but the new ice bucket challenge is kind of infuriating. People with ALS/Lou Gehrig's Disease are rightfully speaking out criticizing the project for being appropriation of the one tiny shred of publicity people with ALS were able to acquire... and this is being appropriated for what exactly? "Mental health"? What does that even mean? It's beyond nebulous, and I have no clue what it's supposed to mean.

Does this "mental health" challenge include schizophrenics and schizo-spec people? Does it include people with violent and sexual OCD themes? Does it include people with cluster B disorders? People who have significant hygiene trouble due to their mental health? People who struggle with homicidal thoughts? Treatment resistant people who struggle to be compliant in recovery? People who don't work due to their mental illness?

I'd be very slightly less inclined to be mad about this if the project zeroed in on a mental health subject ie. suicide prevention. Regardless, even if this challenge is inclusive of folks with stigmatized mental health struggles- which I doubt it is- people with ALS deserve to have the ice bucket challenge to themselves the same way the pink ribbon exclusively belongs to breast cancer awareness and the semi-colon for suicide prevention and awareness.

Anyways, I cannot stop you from doing the new "mental health" (whatever that means) ice bucket challenge but at the same time at least include a little blurb about ALS when you do it and shout out the original challenge and its purpose. ALS is a terminal and debilitating disease which takes so many innocent lives.

As a madpunk and cripplepunk advocate- let physically disabled people have things to themselves

Look I’m a big mental health advocate but doing this is wrong the ice bucket challenge was for ALS and should stay that way

Instead of trying to type out my thoughts, I’m just going to share this video from @/rarewithmikey on TikTok, someone who has ALS.

I’m sorry for the lack of captions, but TLDR: The ice bucket challenge was one of the only ways people actually learned anything about ALS, but now people are rebranding the challenge to be about mental health. Mental health awareness is important, but this challenge was one of the only avenues the general public had to become aware of ALS, a fatal condition with no cure.

Mental health awareness (while very important) often co-ops disability advocacy, especially advocacy for physical disabilities. Movements and groups that are started or at least initially focused on physically disabled people shift to marginalizing and speaking over physically disabled people in our own spaces. This is just another example of this, in my opinion, and it’s part of a larger issue.
