Sometimes an image, video, or joke goes viral on social media, shared thousands of times without anyone considering the consequences for the individual who is the subject of the content. In this context, individuals with disabilities also occasionally become the subject of such content; content that may be published with the intention of entertainment, attracting attention, or even showing empathy, but in practice, it reinforces a compassionate gaze or incorrect stereotypes about disability.
