why didnt he make an 'extraordinary effort' when his family was in poverty? just bc hes on charlies side doesnt mean hes a good person. remember he told charlie to steal fizzy lifting drinks!
"Why don't disabled people just make an extraordinary effort every day? If he can get out of bed for his grandson for one day then clearly he can always do it!"
This is you, you're the person that tells people in wheelchairs with limited mobility that they're faking it because sometimes they can walk a bit and sometimes they can't. The reality of disability is more complicated than just being completely incapacitated all the time. There are good days and there are bad days.
Not to mention that the point here is that it's literally a miracle. You people accept magical flying elevators and people inflating into beach balls as miraculous but conveniently forget that when it comes to shaming the poor or disabled for managing to get out of bed for one single day.
You wouldn't say the same thing if it were a meme that's harmful to lgbt people. Apparently it's ok if it's the poor or disabled though?
Do some self crit for once.
Either you're a chronically online ex-twitter user who is just looking to be mad, or you're trolling, but my bet is you're in this meme and you don't like it
Anyway you win, you got me to block you
My position since the start of this has been that you're attacking and doing harm to the disabled. It makes no difference whether that includes me or not, it's a dick thing to do.
