ok so i see post with “jokes” like this going around a lot, often without the op/reblogger realizing they’re probably hurting people. so ive made a post explaining why some of these jokes are hurtful

mocking people for bad spelling/grammar (learning disabilities can already make school a hellish experience for people who struggle with this kind of thing. we dont need you to call us out)

not explaining jokes/references because someone’s confusion is funny (people with cognitive/learning disabilities often feel like they’re the only person who doesnt understand social cues/”normal” behavior. we spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to pass as “normal”. being belittled because you failed to understand something that all the “normal” people get is one of the worst feelings imaginable)
