You know, people don’t want to find out that something they love is actually harmful. I felt like the whole Moon Moon meme became divided in two memes one of them being harmful and obviously ableist, like this: I really thought (and still think with some Moon Moon memes) that the intent behind them were not to mock neuroatypical people, and I think a lot of people on here share my thoughs on that. I guess that was because I didn’t want something I found so funny and at that time in my eyes harmless to be abeist. I saw it more as the portrayal of a wolf who was acting idiotic and who’s pack members disliked him for that – while we people in real life all loved Moon Moon. I reckoned the OP shouldn’t have used the ableist slur, but I didn’t find the humour in the memes itself harmful. I had a little trouble figuring out if people were overreacting, since I didn’t really see how the meme itself was ableist. Then I found out that Moon Moon wasn’t just the idiot of the pack it was actually implied that he is developmentally delayed and because of this is a pain in the rest of the pack’s ass and deserving of scorn. I loved Moon Moon! I believe I even posted and/or reblogged a few Moon Moon related postst on here. Few years back when the whole Moon Moon thing started, I found it hilarious. To be honest, it took me a while to form my opinion on this.
