Re: This title needs to go
Okay. I'll bite.
You're right. You don't have to be a five-star chef to know that a meal sucks. so for you, personally, to feel that this text is too small a deal to make an issue of is absolutely 100% okay. Where it comes to you, you don't have to object to the text or even to understand why someone else is.
To stay consistent with your analogy, what you and others are doing right now is saying that because you enjoyed this five-star meal, Haily can't say that it sucks and shouldn't send it back. Put another way, you are superimposing your tolerances onto Haily, and that's not cool. You're basically saying that if you and others aren't bothered by this, Haily shouldn't be either.
You're ostensibly visually impaired, right? If you own a cane, does it ever bother you when people grab it out of nowhere and try to guide you? Or how about being yanked by the arm, or assumed to need help when you don't? If you have a guide dog, does it bug you when people pet your guide dog without asking? When you're walking more slowly than other people, and folks yell out directions you don't need, does it annoy you sometimes? Do you ever find that people treat you like a child, and if so, doesn't it bug the almighty snot out of you? Does the experience of being visually impaired in any way bother you, ever? Because I can tell you it bothers me sometimes, and I can further tell you that if I'm having a rough go of it, or have had a lot of difficulty being blind lately for some reason (new route, difficult people, any number of things), someone coming up and saying "I don't see what you're so upset about" is going to annoy me. Who the hell are you to tell me when and where and why I should be annoyed? Get over yourself.
Mix and match your disabilities and your life experience, by the way. If you're black, maybe casual racism bothers you. If you're female, maybe sexism bothers you.
Now how would you enjoy being told to just get over it by someone when you said you wished thing x didn't affect you and should stop?
Because this is exactly what you're doing. You can dance all day, but you're still stuck in the corner.
