Inspiration porn

Inspiration porn is the objectification of disabled people as inspirations to non-disabled people on the basis of their life circumstances. The term inspiration porn is by analogy with pornography, in that the material is perceived as objectifying disabled people for the benefit or gratification of the non-disabled. Inspiration porn may be seen as a form of ableism. An example of inspiration porn might be a photo of a child with a disability taking part in an ordinary activity, with captions targeted towards non-disabled people such as "your excuse is invalid", "before you quit, try" or "they didn't let their disability stop them".
