This ad in honor of World Down Syndrome Day : Darnthatsinteresting
A lot of the comment threads are basically one person incredibly milquetoastly defending the idea that learning disabilities are an actual, real thing that exist, and then another person replying "Actually, if you look at the 99.9th percentile most intelligent people with Down's syndome and extrapolate to the whole population, you'll see that they're actually able to succesfully live on their own entirely off of social welfare with ownly twice daily visits from their carers! This also means you should allowed to have s*x with them, HITLER"
"Assume I can have s*x so I will" seems like a dangerous message to generalize
What danger do you perceive there, within or without the context of this ad?
[Words words words about how you can't frick people with a mental age of 8]
Idk what the frick this last dude's talking about, I think he's had one too many arguments defending 8000 year old dragons and his gut insticts kicked in lol
Bayes' theorem DEBUNKED by GENIUS Redditor. If you think about it, not giving driver's licenses to children is also judging people based on assumptions, so why not reduce the legal driving age to 0? Sure, a few twelve year olds might get wrapped trees, but that's a small price to pay to reduce the stigma we're currently putting on children. Because that's what matters: the stigma. The biggest problem people with Down's syndrome have isn't that they can't function independently in any capacity, it's the stigma they get from not being able to function independently.
Yeah, obviously the main reason not many people with Down's syndrome know how to drive is there's just no one to teach them lmao
So are we normalizing having s*x with people with Down syndrome now? Wild.
Yes because depending on their disability, they can consent. Not that wild.
All of this r-slur-molesting nonsense is underpinned by a sort of implicit Cartesian dualism and the belief that there's some ephemereal perfectly rational "self" that exists inside of everyone. This means that with the correct intervention--in this case, letting them do whatever they want all the time--people with severe learning disabilities could become just as smart and rational as Redditors. This is contradictory to all modern science, undermines the logic of offering any sort of accommodation to disabled people, and is only morally necessary in the first place if you make an a priori assumption that intelligence is necessary for a person to have individual worth, but is otherwise socially convenient, so it's mindlessly accepted even if the argument also explicitly promotes molesting people with learning disabilites

Real talk, one of the things you learn quickly about working or volunteering with the mentally r-slurred is that they're targeted for sexual abuse. It's a massive black pill, but unfortunately true.
Sexualizing them or promoting the idea they can give anything resembling informed consent is really, really dangerous for this reason.
Frickers making me serious post on /r/drama again

Reminds me of Flowers for Algernon, which was written specifically to blackpill people on the plight of the r-slurred. One of the women in the book isn't allowed outside without supervision anymore after the third time a random stranger on the street r*pes her.

I used the phrase "Cartesian dualism" in my psot so I think it's fine. I'm making up for it by calling people in this comments section male feminists, you should join me

Just like, give them s*x ed bro. If you just put them in a classroom and talk about s*x for a while they'll be fine. This is only a problem because those darn Christians won't teach enough s*x ed.

For real. A friend of mine worked at a Publix that had some r-slurred baggers. Two of them were dating. The boyfriend r-slur shows up to work one day and starts flipping out for no apparent reason and had to be escorted out.
Turns out, the girlfriend r-slur was being r*ped by her stepfather since forever. She was now pregnant, and the boyfriend found out. Anyway, girlfriend r-slur was forced to carry her kid to term by her mother and step father and nothing seemed to happen to him. Boyfriend r-slur was fired.

My job occasionaly takes me into a state-run "Developmental Center," which is just an asylum for severely r-slurred people. I get where the lefties are coming from saying that people are denying r-slurs agency and stuff because it sure seems like a lot of 'em are horny. There's fricking, there's r*pe, there's silverware/fists being shoved up asses.
But my argument for those people is basically "Yeah, so what. Don't frick r-slurs, you sickos."

The "moral question" of whether or not r-slurs should frick is easy to answer if you just remember teenagers are r-slurred. If two teenagers want to frick each other, they're welcome to do so. If one teenager forcibly fricks another teenager, they're a male feminist and should be locked up. If an adult fricks a teenager, they're a child molester and need to be tossed in a woodchipper. Apply the same principle to !r-slurs and you're good to go.

Sexualizing intellectually disabled people is wrong.
With that said, Down syndrome is not always comorbid with a severe learning disability. The girl in the ad probably doesn't have a learning disability, just Down syndrome.

For real? Is that why there was one downy on Love On the Spectrum that seemed a lot less r-slurred than the neurodivergent?

Yeah i went to high school and undergrad with this girl who had down syndrome. She definitely didn't have any sort of learning disability just physical traits of down syndrome.

Now you've piqued my interest.
Did she show any other intellectual symptoms, like being a bit slow at learning or social issues?
Was she treated normally by everyone else?

My wife is the DON for a company that provides housing and shit for ID. That shit black pilled her real fast on the aborting babies with disabilities. Knowing that abuse is basically a guarantee is some heavy shit.
