I think the standard response to the statements 'just having fun' or 'just a joke' should be 'did everyone laugh?' If the target isn't laughing, it's not a joke.
You showed up in my recommended and this is a great video! I didn't know this was even happening with the Paralympics. I scrolled through their videos out of curiosity and even if they weren't trying to be ableist, they're poking fun at people making mistakes or just not being perfect with dumb meme audio. Of course the athletes aren't going to be perfect, that's the beauty of the Paralympics. It's insane and impressive how blind people can swim and shit but I don't think these athletes would find their representation on the official Tiktok to be impressive. It feels very ill-hearted and icky for the official page to make a meme out of these athletes
its insane that the account for the Paralympic is so.... like that towards it's athletes. It makes me question the higher ups for allowing this to continue.. their competition is about lifting disabled folks up and yet they allow this to continue.. it makes me think they're not in it for the right reasons.
I've seen quite a few people speak about this and say that it is just for view and jokes, but even so it's incredibly disrespectful to make an 'edgy' post about athletes that spend so much time just trying to compete with the world around them let alone Olympics. What the reason behind videos like these doesn't matter in the long run, it's what they're promoting to the audience that consumes the videos. I could make a video about bullying promoting it as a good thing and still say it was just jokes, but it will still leave impressions and could shape some kids opinion on how bullying should be a good thing. That's just my two cents. Also, this video is well made and I'm surprised at how little recognition you get! Quality content is so hard to come by, definitely tuning in more from now on!
Imagine my shock seeing how new your channel is. The whole vid is so well produced, I'm glad you popped into my recommended. Its a shame that this is the treatment these athletes get; its so disrespectful and really shows where the organization's priorities are smh.
Honestly it’s not even dark/edgy humor, it’s just punching down toward minorities. Edgy humor is a thing, and arguably it can be done well. Putting goofy TikTok audios over disabled people doing things is probably one of the worst attempts at it I’ve ever seen. Even if you don’t find the “joke” offensive, it’s not really all that funny either. Like it’s just dumb and pointless.
These TikTok’s have driven way more attention to the Paralympics than normal clips ever would have. The person running the Olympics and Paralympics accounts are different so comparing them is pointless. What’s being ableist is claiming that you can’t make jokes of disabled people because they’re disabled, that’s an abled person treating a disabled person different because they’re disabled. The official white American Olympic sport is being offended on the behalf of someone else.
Let me know your thoughts on this in the comments!

The good news is, I've seen more pushback on their recent posts!

I can already tell this video boutta hit the algorithm
people who joke at the expense of others always say it's just edgy humor. it gets tiring after a while

Ableist or maybe a Donald Trump type "joke". There is a certain segment that seem to enjoy his "humor".
