    This comic is ablest. Bikes are ablest. Anything walkable is ablest. Arguing with me about it is ablest. Downvoting this comic is ablest. Everyone but me is ablest.

    No, I will not talk about wheelchair accessible infrastructure ever.

      [Mod hat on] A note to the person who reported this (and probably some of the downvoters): I appreciate your concern and if I thought this were actually trying to argue against biking and walkability as being “ableist” I’d certainly remove it for misinformation/trolling, but it’s obviously dripping with sarcasm so I won’t. Nevertheless, keep the reports coming because I do take every single one of them seriously.


      [Mod hat off] To @UnderpantsWeevil: your joke would’ve been a lot funnier if there had actually been somebody in this thread holding the position you’re trying to mock (and quibbling about sign legibility isn’t that). As it is, it’s kind of a weird non-sequitur that definitely didn’t land the way you intended.

      Trying to get out in front of criticism by preemptively mocking it doesn’t delegitimize it. Doing so just makes you look like you just switched topics from fluoridated water and are holding a bundle of stolen copper wire under your arm.
