hey. rtc bootleg sharers & fans in general

able-bodied ricky warrants a warning /srs

the 2022 rtc script rewrites are incredibly ableist. other people can explain this better than me, and already have, but just to summarize: the deliberate erasure of ricky's physical disability is inherently a problem, and the script's handling of details that were originally caused by ricky's physical disability is downright disrespectful. it's a bastardisation of a character who was important to me and an insult to the disabled rtc fans who could see themselves in ricky.

suffice to say, a lot of disabled fans would really prefer not to see productions that use that script!

i'm not the Bootleg Watching Police, i have neither the desire nor the ability to "cancel" people for being fans of an ableist production. i understand that the world isn't black and white, that bootlegs by nature are pretty limited in their ability to benefit ableist productions anyway, that a lot of rtc fans are okay with just ignoring the ricky-focused scenes in ableist productions if the other 5 characters are handled well.

but it should be a common courtesy to keep in mind that some people - disabled people especially! - can't just ignore the ableism in certain productions, or don't want to!

for a while now i've honestly just been avoiding all rtc productions i wasnt already familiar with. because i was tired of seeing people talk about some new production that seemed cool, and starting to be interested it, only to find that ricky is able-bodied and it feels like a slap in the face. eventually i stopped getting my hopes up because i didn't want to be disappointed.

disabled people in fandom shouldnt have to do that! if you want to be inclusive (and i should really hope you do, what with all the self-identified allies in the fandom and the fact that including & listening to disabled people is part of the musical canon), then you should be willing to put some effort into making sure the fandom isnt hostile toward us, even unintentionally.

on top of that - when ableist productions are able to get popular, and the ableism isn't warned for or discussed, it's hard for disabled fans to know who is actually ableist. when someone makes a long post praising an ableist production without so much as a "it sucks that ricky was able-bodied", i don't know if i can trust them. are they outright ableist, and in favour of the ableist script changes? or are they uncomfortable with that part of the production and just putting up with it because they like other parts? this is another way the fandom can be unwelcoming toward disabled people!

i think a lot of people, especially who have been in the fandom for a couple years now and witnessed the mccarter theatre ableism & the script changes as they were happening, think that this issue has already been discussed enough. we've all agreed that disability erasure is wrong, it sucks that the script changes happened but it's too late now, we can take it as a given that we're all on the same page about this. there's no need to keep talking about this.

this sort of "everyone is obviously already on the same page that this is wrong" attitude is common in response to all types of ableism, and it is bullshit. ableism is common! there are always people who support the ableism, and people who don't understand the issue! it is always important to keep talking about it!

if everyone takes the "other people have already talked about this and agreed that it's wrong, so i don't have to acknowledge it!" approach, then nobody talks about the issue! and i'm certainly not saying everyone has to make a long post analysing the ableist script rewrites and explaining why they're wrong, but the bare minimum is that when you're talking about and sharing ableist productions, you should mention the ableism. so that disabled fans can avoid that production if they want to and so that they know you aren't condoning the ableism.

it's been way too long of this fandom ignoring the ableist script changes because "oh its already been talked about". the discussion never stopped being important. and now there are more and more people joining the fandom post-2022 who don't even know about this issue, because the people that do know are far too content to leave the discussion and awareness in the past.

the #saverickypotts hashtag was not just a one-off effort that is no longer relevant. ricky's neuromuscular disease is still valuable disability representation that i'm willing to fight for.

once again i am not the Bootleg Watching Police. if you don't think avoiding ableist productions is worth it, then you don't have to. but have some awareness of the disabled fans who don't want to see it.

this is a fandom where i regularly see posts talking about the choir's canonical death censoring "die" to "unalive". if you can do that, you can add an ableism warning
