Someone on TikTok turned a short clip of a woman with a severe stutter into a meme template, and hundreds of people are using it. Today I searched “stuttering” on TikTok, and the top video with 20 million views is literally a woman having a severe speech block. I’m not disappointed, and even if I were the one in the video, it wouldn’t put a dent in my confidence. What shocked me is that someone actually went out of their way to turn that clip into a meme template. I clicked on the sound, and her face while she’s struggling to speak is being used in hundreds of videos. That’s the first thing you see when you search a disability. Instead of people getting educated about it, we are made into a joke. I don’t understand why this generation treats disabilities as comedy material. It wasn’t like this with millennials, and while some Gen X and boomers could be rude sometimes, most people were still polite and understanding. I’ve been online my whole life, and I’ve never seen it get this bad. How did we reach this point?
