Alright Dhar Mann, I learned my lesson. I will be nice to disabled people that got disabled to save my life, and I'll be really mean to the ones that were just born that way. Thank you for the lesson
Alright, Dhar Mann, I learned my lesson. People who can't walk can totally play dodgeball! Handicap accessibility is a scam! Just use stairs like normal people! Be handicapable!
I love the fact that the moral is NOT "Don't dehumanize disabled people for being disabled, they're literally still human beings who deserve to not be ridiculed", it's "only respect disabled people who have done something heroic to deserve your respect".
Or are actually not disabled at all and are savants who are for some reason still bullied despite being just as capable, if not more than, their peers (i.e., autism)
It's a slight divergence from the Dhar Mann classic of "Don't be a bigot because the people you're bigoted against might be rich so you should hedge your bets"
I've noticed these types of videos about bullying disabled and "disabled" people involves the other person related to said "disabled" person is basically threatened by his or her friends into getting punished and they never face any consequences.
Also in cases like these it is implied that if he was disabled through some other means that weren't heroic, she'd still hate him and everyone would be ok with that.
Dhar studios is like an 8 hr drive from me. Thinking about auditioning so I can end up on the highlights channel and for the IMDB credit Sundance is also 45 mins away
Not to discourage you but I think you need at least 10 years of classical training from the Royal Shakespeare Academy to even be CONSIDERED for a Dhar Mann video. Nothing but the best for Dhar. … Or am I thinking of something else…
Living in the Dhar Mann universe must be the most chaotic existence of all time. Imagine one person or a group of people flipping between hating you to loving you on a dime just because you told them a tragic backstory (and if we’re looking at all of these videos as a shared universe, that means that some of these people go back to being cartoonishly hateful straight after “learning” the lesson, making this universe seem even more insane and unstable), and imagine if those people/that person was someone important like the boss at your current job or someone within the government. Shit would be like living in some fucked up Alice in Wonderland dystopia.
Also, it's very easy for people to just FAKE a tragic backstory to gain sympathy. Like, you could make something up to earn the sympathy of that person. And the Dhar Mann universe, they would BELIEVE that. Oh wait, maybe they wouldn't, because good people ALWAYS know what 'the right thing' is
In case anybody is interested the medication adum talked about used to be given to fight nausea during pregnancy. There were basically two almost identical version of the medicine, with the same atoms but differently positioned. The reason it got through clinical trials was because the “good” version was studied. But when it became mass produced multiple batches had the slightly different arrangement leading to the short extremities in the babies. Also about the x ray: yes a break like that would be annoying, but you would probably be able to walk completely normally after some time and surgery. Also the x ray is not a kids leg, but an adult
Thalidomide. My grandmother was actually prescribed it, but never took any, which my mother and I are grateful for. The chemistry is facinating however. Thalidomide is still used for different purposes today.
What bothers me is “ableism” in real life is more subtle. He could have wrote everyone babying the cripple kid and him speaking up that’ it’s demeaning and he just wants to be treated like a normal person. Then again chad Dhar hates being subtle.
To be fair, Dhar Mann later on does make a video like that but of course he ruins it when he reveals that the disabled person was actually super rich with their own personal assistant 😂
@@coolgirl3890 I saw that one. He also ruined it by having the woman babying the disabled person come be a total clout-chasing b***h. It would've been more realistic if she was an ordinary woman who legitimately thought she was helping and was confused at the disabled woman's reaction. But no, gotta go down the most unsubtle route possible.
@@MrBookworm01 it makes sense when you remember everything Dhar does is for clout, from his wedding proposal to his fake book he hasn't bother to write yet
In true Dhar Mann fashion, the moral of the story that should've been "don't judge disabled people because they are human beings worthy of basic respect" is instead "don't judge disabled people because they might possibly have done something that benefitted you".
Dhar Mann videos always have an issue where they depict bigots as bad because they could stand to benefit if they weren't bigoted, but this is the worst one in that regard. She doesn't learn not to discriminate against her disabled brother because it's just an awful thing to do. She learns that he did something for her specifically and so she decides he's worth being nice to. Does Dhar just not understand intrinsic value?
Exactly! And this is a theme in all his videos. How hard is it to teach people not to bully others because it's just a mean and cruel thing to do? There doesn't have to be a backstory!
So instead of just being nice to her brother, she changes her opinion because she finds out he saved her, what kind of fucked up mentality is that. You only stop bullying your disabled brother because he stopped you from being disabled.
The thought of them putting in overly mangled prop legs in made me belly laugh. Just a close up of one of the legs at 90 degrees and the other completely twisted around. Lmao
“Hey you don’t know this because for some reason your memory didn’t form until you were six and we have no pictures of your brother walking when he was a child” Jesus Christ, Dhar Mann how do you not see these plot holes?
Wow, now I sure wish I could push my sister out of the way of a speeding car to get MY legs broken, so that way I can shame her in ten years when she bullies my limp! Thanks Dharr Man!
Bruh if I saved my sister’s life and had a limp because of it and found out she was embarrassed by me I would fs hold it over her when she says anything bullying me in public.
Ah, of course, he's disabled not because he was simply born that way and it's wrong to treat him like shit because it's not something he had any choice in, he's disabled because he was heroic and it's wrong to treat him like shit because he saved her life. Gooooood.
No person has ever seen a person walking with crutches and been like “WHAT WHY WHAT???” Also why did he go to a completely different school just for having a limp
The sets are so weird, they feel so empty and devoid of life that I thought in the beginning of the video they were supposed to be inside a house, not in a school cafeteria
Which is weird, because it implies Dhar Mann (or whoever wrote this) has seen Mean Girls and should thus know how a moral story properly plays out. And how students actually react to someone who's been crippled!
My boyfriend has this really good theory that a few more years into the future, Dhar Mann videos will no longer be performed by actors, and that these shorts will be fully CG animated with voice acting, (possibly robot voice acting?) so that the studio can make even more loads of money without having to pay for locations or hire actors to work for them anymore.
Can we just acknowledge that this guy who looks about 16 is like weirdly desperate to play dodge ball with a bunch of 11 year olds, bit sus even if that is your sister
Same when he saw them in the lunch room, he was acting like she was a girl he was interested in. And acting like he was the younger sibling for some reason.
Isn't this the video that disability activists got (rightfully) so upset over that Dhar (supposedly) hired a sensitivity specialist for his future videos?
@@iamthewizardwhoknocks2845 idk man, maybe we need sensitivity specialists if videos like this and "autism isn't a disability, it's a different ability" get millions of views and fuck up people's sense of morality 🤣
For Adum’s point about the siblings and people not knowing their siblings, that actually happened with my sisters (although they’re my adopted sisters), so it’s not based on nothing. That being said, Dhar Mann overuses it and it’s probably happened more in a Dhar Mann video than has ever happened in real life, but I’m trying to be fair, it’s not based on nothing.
Gimp is the weirdest slur I've ever heard for a disabled person. Please just call them cripples at that point 😂 Most unrealistic Dhar Mann video to date. Kid with the crutches was always the most popular kid at school bc one lucky student got let out five minutes early each class to help them with their books (Also the obvious that you have to be Saturday morning cartoon levels of evil to bully the crutches kid)
The moment she asked "Why does he have that stupid limp anyway?" I immediately knew somehow it would be her fault because the point of these videos is always that bigotry is bad because maybe that black/gay/crippled person is actually a hero or will be rich one day so you should hedge your bets.
I hope there is a day where Dhar Mann learns that you can be nice and not prejudiced to marginalized groups without someone from that group proving themselves "worthy" of respect and basic human kindness.
God this Dhar Man video is so condescending towards people with physical disabilities, like the brother isn't even allowed to be annoyed or angry at his sister, he just acts like a kicked puppy when she yells at him. It's like he's written as a prop to make the able bodied protagonist/presumed audience feel bad for him.
I know, right? The person on the receiving end of the mistreatment in these videos rarely ever gets naturally frustrated or pissed off. They're always so unrealistically obnoxiously kind over and over again, when anyone else would just say "to hell with you then." It's insufferable.
So, everyone in the Dhar Mann Universe has some kind of bipolar syndrome? Seeing as how it takes one slightly pushy event to switch their mood and perception in a second.
Dhar Mann not giving a single shit about writing these to the point where there’s just no consistency throughout even the story itself? In a totally not content farm channel made by a conman who defrauded Oakland outta money for a bit? Sure, SURELY you jest!
I'm 7:25 into this and I'm predicting that he has a limp because he saved his sister's life or something. Because the lesson can't just be that you should accept people for who they are. The lesson has to be warped into some sociopathic parody where she is affected by her brother specifically.
Yeah I liked it better when it was just fat shaming or how disgusting poor people are and how everyone should be rich. Now it has to have twists and more melodrama than Lifetime
@@Shippo28 Yeah, it's the recipe for almost every Dhar Mann video. Don't be mean to this person for being [insert topic] because they will either be able to rub it in your face later on, or because they actually can help you in the future, or because they helped you in the past. It's so messed up.
dont bully cripples coz you might uncover that they became crippled through their heroic acts and you'll feel like a... like a dummy and .. stuff so... you'll be like.. damn i feel so dumb now.
Why can't he have just been born disabled, why does he have to be a hero for her to treat him like a human being. Why can't the message of these videos just be about respecting people because it's the right thing to do??
Exactly! You should be kind to disabled people because they’re people and their disability doesn’t make them less worthy of kindness, not because they could be rich, smart, heroic, your boss, etc.
What if the brother just had cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, a genetic neuromuscular disorder (like the one Madame Web didn't have), etc.? Why does it have to be a car accident that just so happened to save her?
They should’ve picked a different actor for the brother because he looks a lot older than his sister and her friends. He looks 17-18 and she looks 12. It would make more sense for the brother to want to hang out with her all the time if he was the same age or slightly younger.
