I have no idea what to say beyond "disabled people are going to be disproportionately effected by the banned tags"... There's no "aha!" moment or long explanation, it's just a sentence that should be read as a plain fact:

disabled people are going to be disproportionately effected by the banned tags, and disabled people already are being disproportionately effected by the banned tags.

It is just a fact.

actually @staff bc disabled users genuinely need some of the tags it looks like you've started filtering. "Flas/hing" is an essential tag for a lot of people with epilepsy, "C/P/TSD" and "trau/ma" and "suic/ide prevention" and "c/w" are all tags that provide essential resources and filtering options for people with various mental illnesses, "st/im" and "sti/mboard" are tags used almost exclusively by autistic folks celebrating their neurodivergence, and stuff like "pa/in", "bo/dy," and, yes, "gynecolo/gy" are essential tags for folks dealing with chronic illness and physical disabilities

I understand that you're under constraint by Apple to provide a sanitized app experience, and I suspect your ridiculous filtering system is as much from deliberate distaste for said constraints as it is from simple incompetence, but the fact remains that you are fvcking over your substantial disabled userbase with the tags you're choosing, independently of Apple, to disincentivize and block for viewing. we, ur disabled & neurodivergent users, deserve better than to be the discarded casualties in your petty game. none of this nonsense is cool or okay, but surely - surely - you can do better than punching down at the people who have literally nothing to do with your latest snafu and neither the power nor the energy to fight Apple on your behalf.

Do better. We *need* you to.

A Growing List of Banned Tags

bannedtags

This is my second go at making this blog. The first time, I got shadowbanned immediately for writing a post with these words on it, so I’m going to have to link to a google doc instead.

You can find my current list HERE

If you’d like to contribute tags you’ve found, please send it via an ask or submission so I can double check and add it to the list.

EDIT: Right now many of these are only banned on IOS, but that really doesn’t make it better
