Chronic Illness

A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.

Rules

  1. Be excellent to each other
  2. Absolutely no ableism.
  3. No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
  4. No denying or minimising challenges faced by chronically ill people. This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.

Apparently some social media platforms read the text in images and filter or deprioritize content containing certain words they deem to be too provocative so this is one way to avoid that happening to your meme. Personally I think it's done entirely for the benefit of the advertisers.

Fuck these censored memes.

And fuck all the sheep who self-censor for clicks, it is shaping our language in dangerous ways and almost no one takes it seriously.

When was your last pregnancy test?

Good thing the bad word was censored.

I can make the same dumb disingenuous meme in reverse where a 250kg woman comes with a doctor for barely being able to breathe and then complaining that she's told she needs to lose weight
