kink_bingo: Accessibility Policy

Comments

i'm confused as to why they have an "accessibility policy" which spends more time on issues of consent and asexuality than actual accessibility

and the so-called "accessibility policy" simply says "ha, we'll continue to be inaccessible and we'll like it!"

[callie]

If being constantly triggered by non-consensual activity prevents you from (fully) participating then that is an accessibility issue.

This does not in any way negate issues/limitations/lack of consideration in other areas - but I'm actually really happy to see ptsd and similar considered as part of accessibility.

Disability policing. Very sexy.

what?

Your comment was offensive and hurtful. There are many, many ways to be disabled (or simply in need of "actual" assistance), even if you don't personally approve of them. I hope that's clearer.
