As someone with a profound disability, it's disgusting to me that people are using the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 to justify avoiding a minor inconvenience

These badly misspelled cards & their card-carrying members are using disabled people as shields to harm others A badge that says facemask exempt card. I am exempt from any
The ADA was designed to allow people like me to go to McDonald's without being tossed out for having the audacity to enjoy some chicken nuggets in public while being disabled.

It was not intended to help people who think wearing a mask takes away their masculinity spread a virus
Do you have any IDEA how difficult it is for me to compel my local barber to put a 2 inch f*cking ramp onto his place of business so that I can get a damn haircut?

Yet people see these fake cards and somehow think business owners need to suddenly listen to the ADA?!?
How DARE you try to use the biggest piece of legislation to ever come along to help people with disabilities (that half the time still gets f*cking ignored) as some sort of "righteous sword of justice" so you don't have to *checks notes* put a piece of CLOTH on your face

F you

They Are Just Not That into You - A Thread

Scenario 1: You've been friends with someone forever. Or at least it feels like it because oh my gosh are they fantastic. They get you. You text almost constantly

Time goes by and everyday texting has turned into every week... or month
You rack your brain but can't think of anything awkward you said. They just don't answer you as quickly as they did before. Sometimes not at all

But when they DO answer, it's all smiles and laughs. All the good feelings come rushing back

Nothing appears "wrong" - So what gives?
Scenario 2: You meet an amazing person. Things go great. You both laugh. A lot. Nothing could have gone better. You exchange numbers and go on with your day.

Later, you text. It's delivered. But after a day, no response. A week later they answer with an apology for being busy.

I'm honestly getting tired of repeating myself. So this is my last Twitter statement on this

People, influential people, journalists and the media outlets are making this confusing by continuing to use the language "easy mode" - Accessibility means options, not easy gameplay
In any game, whether it's Sekiro, Dark Souls, or any other skill-based game, there should be options to allow your health to be modified, your enemies help to be modified, and the game speed adjusted.

This does not make the game easy. It allows people to make the game equal
In fact, I'm going to begin calling it "Equal Mode" where the options are in place so that I game can be made difficult, stay with the artist's "vision" and still allow people to play the way THEY HAVE TO.

Equality means FAIRNESS. Easy for you is not easy for someone else

After two days of being in The Great Sekiro Battle of 2019, I've learned the battle comes down to one thing: Empathy

The same arguments of "Git Gut" "Learn the Game or Die" and "Play something else" are repeated. In each case, we can trace the response back to a lack of empathy.
Sekiro, Dark Souls, Celeste, and all skill-based singleplayer games are created to give an extremely difficult experience but they want you to beat the game

For some people learning the game isn't the problem. It's the physical ability to compete and that deserves an "easy mode"
When you cut through all of the counterarguments of why Sekiro doesn't need or deserve difficulty levels, it always comes down to a simple fact:

How one person chooses to experience a single player game doesn't negatively affect anyone else. It's a personal preference.
