Just to be clear this is a joke on the shitposting website Bluesky rather than serious economic analysis attempting to blame gungan rōnin and Sith lord Jar Jar Binks for the economic malaise of late capitalism

It’s really something how people get up in arms about accessibility and equity when the thing in question is pervert glasses or Dark Clippy. I don’t see you folks showing up when Ticketmaster says there’s no way a wheelchair user can come to concerts or that sign language is “too distracting”.

This is the weirdest request for input that I've seen in a while. It's almost like the ACM is sitting at the table with the "change my mind" sign. So, let's do it. Short thread with the input I gave them:

That's not incidental. Under-resourced districts are easier sells for "innovative" tech and harder places to say no when a company frames it as closing an opportunity gap. Rural and Indigenous communities keep getting cast as the beta testers for whatever Silicon Valley wants to normalize next. 4/
