Sometimes I wonder when accessibility helps and when it’s performative and maybe even harmful
Example: let’s say there’s a rave made for autistic people with no loud music (just played on speakers around the event) and limited entry to avoid crowds
I’m autistic myself so I get the appeal
Except
You removed half of what makes a rave fun, even for many autistics (we are not all hypersensitive introverts who read books! I hate this stereotype)
You now limited entry, so many people can’t even enjoy it, limiting access artificially, and there’s really no “limited entry” scheme where someone isn’t turned away unless turnout just sucks
This defeats the purpose! Presumably you’ve tried to make an event everyone can enjoy. But you’ve made that physically impossible. People literally cannot enjoy the event due to limited entry and possibly can’t hear the music either. Music is often loud so people in the corner can hear it.
