We didn’t learn how to cook until we moved out of our parents house in our mid 20s due to abuse (we weren’t allowed in the kitchen).
Now we love cooking! (The cleanup not so much lol).
People don’t understand that not everyone has the resources to learn things. Not everyone has parents who will teach them things or even allow them to learn.
Unfortunately while there is a lot of kindness on Tumblr there are also a lot of assholes and ableists..
It’s really sad when people treat someone not knowing something and wanting to learn as something to make fun.
People in general need to understand that not everyone comes from the same background they do; not everyone has had the ability to learn the things they have. Not everyone is abled in a way that makes it possible to do everything they can.
One of the most frustrating things about being fictionkin is when the canon material in this universe presents someone that you knew as nothing but a joke. Just completely strips their character out and makes them a punchline with basically no character at all.
Despite the fact that the person you knew was a person, with a full existence, dignity, hopes, goals, friends, etc etc.
But nope, just a joke in canon.
And you can’t be mad at the author because it’s not like they’re dissing your friend on purpose. They just wrote some fiction, they don’t know it’s something relevant to you.
And you can’t be mad at the fandom, because all they have to work with is the character as presented in canon.
So all you can do is like, sit there and be disappointed that nobody ascribes any worth or dignity to your friend and it’s nobody’s fault but it SUCKS!
