NHK Baribara
[Live Broadcast] Verification! The equation of "disability x inspiration"
NHK's Baribara was broadcast behind the scenes of 24-hour television.
I finally watched the recording yesterday.
It seems that the parts that couldn't be broadcast will be uploaded online, so I'd like to watch them again.
It was a rather bold theme, so it became a bit of a topic in the news.
NHK criticizes the formula for "making disabled people into moving stories" (Yahoo News)
As a question, I thought it was interesting...
Although they said on the show that they were not criticizing the competing programs, the content of next year's 24-Hour TV may be slightly different.
By the way, I hardly ever watch 24-hour television, so I only have a vague idea of what it's like to be broadcast.
Inspiration porn: People with disabilities are tools to inspire and inspire able-bodied people
Emotional Porn
Tools to inspire and inspire healthy people
The term "inspiration porn" refers to the act of being inspired by the honest and upstanding efforts of disabled people.
He said that people with disabilities are tools to inspire and inspire able-bodied people, and that treating them as special objects is discriminatory.
What do you think of this inspiring program about people with disabilities?
Reasons why able-bodied people like inspiring programs include "it gives me courage" and "it makes me realize once again how lucky I am," while people with disabilities say, "if it's going to be featured, I don't mind it being an inspiring story."
There are times when we unconsciously discriminate and impose our values on others.
Tamaki, who appeared on the show, said, "It's truly moving to see (able-bodied and disabled people) getting angry, laughing, and sharing the same thoughts as fellow human beings. Forcing one-sided emotions on others is discrimination." I think the important thing is summed up in the content of the show.
Regardless of disability, individual consideration is necessary, but no one is treated specially.
That would be the ideal situation, but...
There are probably people who perceive the store's communications as inspirational porn...
As a shop owner who cries when Clara stands up in Heidi, Girl of the Alps, I might also like "emotional porn" as long as it's not over the top.
Usagi and I also discriminate against people with disabilities.
Usagi and I work with "support for welfare facilities" as one of our main pillars.
If we give each person appropriate consideration, we can do work and create products that are comparable to those of a regular company or store. We continue to work to spread understanding of the people we interact with.
We were still involved in this even when we were no longer supporting facilities, so you could almost say it's our life's work.
However, their activities are contradictory in that they are "sending out information that focuses on disabled people working in facilities in order to prevent them from being treated specially."
Even if understanding improves, special treatment will continue.
When we worked together at the facility, he could tolerate the mistakes of people with disabilities, but he couldn't tolerate the mistakes of other staff members. It was the same even when he was working in the same position as the users, not as a user.
In reality, it would have been best to treat everyone with the same consideration, but I think I gave them special treatment.
I've been working in the welfare industry for about 20 years, but I still think that unconscious discrimination never goes away.
Everyone, including myself, has always been discriminated against, and it's something that's difficult to eliminate. That's how we perceive it.
Discrimination is a given, but what's important is how to behave with that in mind.
They discriminate unconsciously.
I think that's fine for me. Rather than dismissing discrimination as bad or something that doesn't exist, I think it's better to accept it as something that's inside of you.
The important thing is to accept it without letting it go and then decide how to behave.
I think that's what it means.
