Can't unwatch it
Remember when I said Rubber Johnny was the scariest thing I'd ever seen? Well, I was wrong.
Goddess Bunny
Turns out the video isn't some horrible exploitation film, but the attempt by someone to deal with his fairly fucked up circumstance...
that doesn't make it any less scary.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Wow, that was not a kid – she’s a grown woman. How cool that she does not give a fuck what you think. I have identified and tried to deal with my fear of bodily variation. I thought there was something wrong with me for being afraid of a body that did not look like the standard issue, and have endeavored through the years to accept and enjoy variations. And at the bottom of this work I think is the idea of “what if something happened to my body and I didn’t have the standard issue any more? Wouldn’t I still want to be accepted as a member of the human race?” And god knows we tend to marginalize these people – for no good reason as far as I can see.
My brother is now a high functioning quad, and he is as bright and beautiful as you are, though he no longer has the standard issue body. I dated a low functioning quad for a few years (congenital, and waaay not a standard issue bod), who was all right. This gave me a lot of exposure to the disability community because he was an activist (dead now), which was very cool because I lost my fear. It is all right now. I wish more of them tap danced for you guys and didn’t give a shit.
