I recently found the disability section of the 'life lessons' genre on KZfaq.
These videos perpetuate unhelpful narratives around disability such as disabled characters only being included in the story when the plot centres around their disability, miracle recovery, the bully becoming disabled in order to learn what they did was wrong, language considered offensive by many and the idea that disabled people are 'special' or disabled for a reason.
These videos are meant to educate children on how to treat disabled people and although that is a valuable goal, there is a lack of education in the writers and therefore the videos are problematic and may teach harmful and ableist lessons to young people.
The channels I react to in this video are Dhar Mann (13M subs), Life Lessons with Luis (737K subs) and Sameer Bhavnani (335K subs).
I react to these videos, discuss the issues i find and how they could be improved in future works by these channels.
This video is not intended to bash these creators as I understand that they are attempting to help, but I am simply trying to provide some insight into how they could improve the disability based life lessons!
Everyone with ME/CFS is different! So you or someone you know might have a very different experience with ME/CFS than I do at the moment! Also, remember that chronic conditions such as these can change dramatically over time, so my life may look very different to this in the future (and has be A LOT worse in the past).
Thank you so much for watching!! Make sure to like, comment, and subscribe to see more videos from me every other SUNDAY... ish!
