Seeking Fame Amidst Limitations

It's incredibly easy for today's youth to gain quick fame. They only need to possess a few key assets. For women, a common phenomenon is that they simply need to have a beautiful face, be daring enough to expose their bodies, and not be ashamed if bombarded with lewd comments by numerous netizens. For men, it might be slightly different. They just need to flaunt a fleet of luxury cars like Lamborghinis or Ferraris parked in their garage, display assets worth hundreds of billions, or enjoy creating content involving surprise cash giveaways. If content creators possess the assets I've mentioned, their followers are guaranteed to increase rapidly without the hassle of buying bot followers often sold on provider websites.
It must be admitted, social media algorithms truly favor content creators who present hedonistic and fun-loving content. Take platforms like TikTok and Instagram, for example. Many content creators, instead of showcasing their talents or work, opt to flaunt their bodies and wealth. Strangely, netizens absolutely love this and consider it a form of entertainment and stress relief from work pressures.
But what about people with disabilities? For instance, a visually impaired person who doesn't even have sight to direct their gaze at a camera, or friends with physical disabilities often referred to as CP (Cerebral Palsy), who struggle to move their legs to dance joyfully in front of a camera. They clearly don't have the same opportunities as people who can see or walk generally.
Furthermore, I believe people with disabilities aren't interested in viral things that are merely sensational. Visually impaired individuals, for example, cannot see women dancing virally on TikTok or Instagram. They prefer to enjoy content creators with beautiful and melodious voices to listen to.
Speaking of content creators, many people with disabilities also venture into content creation, just like people in general. However, their content approach is naturally somewhat different. They focus more on daily life content, tips and tricks for using assistive devices, and so on. In fact, many visually impaired female content creators create singing content to showcase their natural talent and melodious voices.
Many people with disabilities create content that is quite simple for them but incredibly valuable for others in need. Take, for example, guides on how to use screen reader applications for beginners who have recently lost their sight, or ways to overcome communication limitations specifically for friends with speech impairments.
Unfortunately, these good intentions don't always bear sweet fruit. There's a disheartening pattern where disability streamers who go live to share content instead receive harsh comments from netizens. They are often called disabled, beggars, and perceived as merely seeking pity. Yet, just like people in general, they simply want to share content and showcase their talents.
These disability creators are not like those who merely play games such as Mobile Legend or shooting games, or those who create crude content prioritizing pleasure over quality. On the contrary, disability content creators have clear intentions and goals: to show that people with disabilities possess talents and works that can be showcased. Furthermore, they also carry a mission to erase the societal stigma that people with disabilities are not weak individuals who always need pity. In reality, far from being pitied, they are often just subjects of gossip and insults by people today.
Nevertheless, we can look to Putri Ariani as an example, a figure who successfully brought honor to Indonesia and made visually impaired people proud. She managed to make the world see her and collaborated with famous singers like Alan Walker. I still remember in one of her uploaded videos, she shared incredibly motivating words: if she couldn't see the world, then she would make the world see her.
Alas, I have one regret in my heart. I never saw her face directly when I still had my sight. Back when my eyes were still functional, I didn't know of her, and I only learned of such an amazing person precisely when I myself had become visually impaired.
Therefore, I deeply wish to become a content creator and prove to the world that losing my sight does not limit me from creating or showing my existence. If the world doesn't want to see me, then I want people with disabilities to see me. If they also don't pay attention, then I will show it to my family and loved ones. And if they all still don't want to see my work and talent, then at least I will prove to myself that I am still capable of creating what I desire. At the very least, this is valuable and useful for myself.
