Ontology Import Test V3
When “accessibility” is weaponised to extract compliance, silence voices, or create dependency, it becomes a tool of harm — not support. This glossary identifies how systems misuse inclusive frameworks to mask control.
🪤 Performative Inclusion
Visibility Without Power
Offering surface-level inclusion for show (e.g. diverse images or “voice of lived experience” panels) without transferring actual power, decision-making, or compensation.
🔇 Silence-Framed Support
Only Safe When You’re Silent
Support that is only offered to those who remain passive or non-critical. Speaking out leads to exclusion, withheld services, or reputational retaliation.
💼 Access Gatekeeping
Support Withheld Without Compliance
Requiring a person to conform to arbitrary or inappropriate standards to receive access — such as performing “helplessness” or agreeing not to disclose mistreatment.
📋 Paper-Based Empathy
Policies That Don’t Protect People
When systems rely on written policies to demonstrate “support” but refuse to enforce those policies meaningfully when abuse or discrimination occurs.
🎭 Empowerment Theatre
Staged Inclusion Without Autonomy
When programs pretend to centre disability or trauma-informed leadership but retain control, edit lived experience, and deny genuine co-design or authorship.
