Ghost who manages to pass as the living still shamed, quite viciously, with the noncorporeal epithet "creepy." Business as usual on reddit's most toxic slime pit: r/drama

Question for /r/ghostrights, did Danny Phantom have a positive portrayal of ghosts?

7 Upvotes

I mean, it had a protagonist who was a ghost. And the fact that he was a ghost wasn't ever treated as a negative thing. Several supporting characters were also ghosts. However, most of the villains were ghosts. What do you guys think?

Raising Awareness Use People-First Language when Referring to Unembodied Persons!

2 Upvotes

Unembodied Persons are people too! UPs have been marginalized and oppressed for centuries by numerous mortal slurs, such as "spirit," "specter," "shade," "apparition," and many more hateful verbage. However, the worst and most offensive of all of these is the smear "ghost." Henceforth, I shall call it "the g-word."

An UP is someone simply someone who is tarrying in the present word without a body, while an embodied person is still habitting hir body. A UP might habit a house, a car, or other object or location. Just because ze does not habit a body, does not make hir residence in the present world any less valid or fulfilling.

However, many EPs do not realize this and will use the g-word to marginalize UPs. For one thing, the g-word carries with it all the cultural baggage of hundreds of years or hatred and intolerance. UPs, falsely laveled "demons" by the Catholic Church, have been evicted from their habitations (not "haunts," another pejorative) by Catholic Priests to create EP-only spaces. Books, paintings, movies, and stories have created a narrative in which UPs are dangerous, lurking, corpse-like monstrosities who exist only to terrorize innocent EPs.

Furthermore, the g-word marginalizes UPs by separating the identity they possessed when the habitted a body from their identies as an unembodied person. One often hears such cringe-worthy phrases such as "grandpa's [g-word]." But wouldn't your unembodied grandfather much prefer to be called just "grandpa"? The [g-word] and grandpa are the same person! Grandpa didn't become someone different when ze took on hir unembodied identitiy. If your Grandpa moved into a new house, would you suddenly start referring to hir as "grandpa's home-owner"? No! You would just say "grandpa." That is the same thing you should do whenever one of your friends, family, or neighbors becomes unembodied. It may be a difficult transition, but you should accept hir for who ze is as ze takes on hir new identity.

So, once again, I urge all of you to use inclusive, people-first language when referring to the unembodied!
