I'm very "make oblique commentary on YouTube" mood...

Not going to put in usernames or whatever - because I don't think it's productive to my pt here.

OP comment was this (on a reality TV show with a moment where there was some ableism from the judges of this nature to a colorblind MUA):

And someone wrote this in response:

And oh man. This is very Business Major attitude about what's ultimately a creative exercise. Art will ALWAYS be subjective, a marketing dept can't know what's going to resonate with everyone. Hell, bad marketing of art is a thing - giving you expectations of one thing where it just doesn't make sense to. (Looking at you, Marketing for "Jennifer's Body".)

When it comes to individual and deeply personal experiences like disability? Fuckign- who cares if it isn't legible to people who don't have that disability, man. Trying to sand down that shit to appeal to abled folks kills any sense of authenticity here - and it will never please everyone anyways!

#ableism/#(it was on a luxeria video - for mild context)#(this is like getting mad at a foreign language film not being in your own language)#('because you have to cater to english speakers - they have a massive market share!')#(mind this is not meant to dig at localization sub/dubbing to make it accessible to a greater audience)#(for someone earnestly just trying to understand the art in q)#(this is more like prostrating to entitled hedgemonies - 'i need /you/ to spoon feed me your experiences')
