Some of my favorite international political cartoons from @cartoonmovement this week, by Matthew Fuller, Deb Milbrath, Gatis Sluka and Franco Juri.

@benroyce@mastodon.social @svenja @sternentau

"Yes, we, the Sighties, will grant you a tiny crumb of access, but only if you're sufficiently nice and grateful"

@benroyce @sternentau "if instead you harass the poster, they don't do alt text they leave mastodon because of busybody controlling assholes" don't thread me with having a good time without assholes who don't want to write Alttext.

@gunchleoc @svenja

100%. i hovered over their profile before responding

how does that change the issue one bit?

if svenga wants more alt text, like i want more alt text, this harassment of posters has to stop. if svenga doesn't understand that, they are hurting their own desires

@benroyce @gunchleoc at least learn to write my Name right. bye

@Irisfreundin

i'm not an ableist you stupid loser

i'm trying to get more alt text by stopping concern trolling and harassment over alt text

you *help* by posting the alt text

if you make demands and backbite posters, you just drive them from mastodon

busy body controlling assholes *are not helping*. they are driving people from mastodon

@benroyce
*sarcasm alert* What a shiny nice example of your own words you are. Wouldn't you also please tell us to smile a bit more, when we politely ask for a tiniest bit of inclusional solidarity?

@svenja @sternentau

@svenja @sternentau

great

so what you want is a mastodon where harassing concern trolls *getting off on their ego* don't help shit, they just drive people away

1. someone post sthe alt text cheerfully

2. the original poster understands and is happy to be corrected and learn

3. next time they alt text themselves

what you are voicing *does not increase alt text adoption*

it just alienates

i am arguing for more alt text adoption

you are arguing for controlling assholes

@svenja @gunchleoc

bye

make sure to drive down alt text adoption by championing controlling busy body reply guys, instead of learning that doesn't fix shit, except some troll's ego problems

@benroyce

Mastodon does not need people who are ableistic. And your argumentation is.

I hope that you'll not be accessed by an illness or accident, so that you'll feel what it means to cajole for help.

@Isabelle_Vannier @svenja @sternentau

hey, lying asshole:

concern trolling does not foster solidarity

1. people help, the world gets better, social bonds strengthen

vs

2. people make demands rudely, nobody does alt text, mastodon becomes toxic and people leave

it's not hard to understand. why don't you understand it

@Irisfreundin

my argumentation is not ableistic you fucking liar

by goal is more alt text adoption

you get that by helping, and being nice

you get *less* alt text by making concern trolling demands

it's not complicated

why don't you understand the fucking obvious, liar
