#anyway everyone should actually go watch wendall and wild because it is fucking thematically coherent and it

Man, Kubo and the Two Strings is a nearly perfect film with ONE BIG FUCKIN' WALLOP OF ABLEISM RIGHT AT THE FILM'S EMOTIONAL CLIMAX that makes you go "wait wait no wait that can't be right"
I just-- I can't even begin to understand why we as a society still need to equate blindness with ignorance and clear vision with a person's humanity.
Like, y'all know people in real life are blind, right? Visual impairment isn't just a metaphor. Blind people are real and they hear your stories too, for fuck's sake.
#kubo and the two strings#ableism#blindness#vision impairment#vision impaired#laika#this fucking sucked i was so invested and so excited and enthralled and the climax came and kubo's big moment was like#'if I'm blind i can't connect with the soul of another person and i will lose my humanity entirely' and I'm like#please say pscyh right now#*psych#you know what i mean#like WOW that SUCKED#what the fuck#it was so beautiful and you could have chosen a metaphor that didn't demonize a group of people that frankly i cannot imagine#need more bullshit in their lives#fuck OFF#anyway everyone should actually go watch wendall and wild because it is fucking thematically coherent and it#doesn't kneecap its climax with ableism
