all of the sweetness, all of the trust, all of the tenderness
the lack of compassion that a good portion of lotr fans show for frodo ("why can't he fight or do simple tasks" "why is he so weak" "why does he always need help / to be rescued") mirrors the lack of compassion of people for those who bear the burden of invisible disabilities. he's struggling against an immense weight at every step! something that actively tries to destroy him, worsening at every moment! his heroism is in just continuing to walk his path, step by step. his bravery is in just existing as himself under the debilitating weight of the ring. but because the influence of the ring is invisible, it is forgotten, and frodo is written off as a weak, cowardly, and/or useless character, much like disabled people irl. in this household we do not stand for frodo slander!!!

‘some women choose to do sex work’ okay and some women choose to shoot heroin or drown their infants or steal from charity or take their gum out and stick it underneath a table instead of throwing it away. every single possible action has at some point been chosen freely by someone. ‘x chose y’ is not an argument for/against whether something is healthy or ethical, it is a nothing statement. u are saying nothing.
