To think video on the Paralympic Channel is really rude and ableist?

Do you think this video misses the mark? I am not someone particularly sensitive to ableism as I don’t really know anyone who falls into the category. But obviously I do my best to be an inclusive/kind person whenever I can.

I just think the clip is a bit rude. Especially given it’s the official channel for the Paralympics

What do you think? Light hearted or piss take

It took me a few views to get the piano joke.

At best it's a bad joke.

Oh please. Their entire SM is like this, and there are much 'worse' ones than that. Their TikTok has gone wild because of it and people are actually watching the Paralympics who wouldn't have before.

Memes like this have been made by other creators the entire way through the Olympics. They may as well capitalise on it and generate their own marketing/views/money from it. This decision has gone through dozens of people before being finalised.

I can’t believe you’ve referred to yourself as a kind and inclusive person because you think you know better than the Paralympics.
