+ | ; January 2, 2020 / Disability and Language - New (Clarification) of Policy |
||
+ | |||
+ | : Here at the A*G Wiki, we use the appropriate words for disabilities. Which is, in fact, ''disability'' or ''disabled''. One of your admins is disabled. People with disabilities want to be called the terms they choose. Joss - as a character - is disabled. This is an appropriate term to use to discuss Joss; she is partially deaf or hard of hearing, and visibly disabled (as in, her disability is visible, not that she has a lack of visibility). |
||
+ | |||
+ | : The term "disabled" is appropriate to use to refer to her as a character and a doll. "Cutesy" or covert language that tries to hide disability does not help people or show the actuality of their needs. Do not use cutesy or fluff language, nor condescending or rude language. This falls under our global rule of bigotry. |
||
+ | |||
+ | ''<blockquote>"It is okay to use words or phrases such as "disabled," "disability," or "people with disabilities" when talking about disability issues." [http://www.aucd.org/docs/add/sa_summits/Language%20Doc.pdf Respectful Disability Language]</blockquote>'' |
||

||
+ | |||
+ | : American Girl through Good Morning America has released information about the 2020 girl of the year, [[Joss Kendrick]], who's a surfer and competitive cheerleader from southern California. Joss has hearing loss--fully deaf in one ear and partially in the other--and comes with a new, unique [[Hearing Aids|hearing aid]]. She also has a new face mold, the [[Joss Mold]]. AG worked with experts in hearing loss as well as portraying deaf characters; furthermore, they've also announced a $25,000 donation to support the work of the [https://www.hearingloss.org/ Hearing Loss Association of America] (HLAA). |
||
+ | |||
+ | : Items will be released on the website and in previews at stores starting today, December 31st. |
||
+ | |||
+ | : It's a whole new new release in a new decade - but the rules remain the same. We want good information, proper descriptions, and good pictures of items in the collection. The admin block finger stays itchy, especially in those first days of a new release when people suddenly act like they can't read the rules. |

||
+ | |||
+ | : Please check updates to the [[{{SITENAME}}:Rumors, Leaks, and Hearsay|Rumors, Leaks, and Hearsay]] rules. Specifically, that we do not accept YouTube reviewers or product hint videos as sources for upcoming product. Especially not for pictures. A screen cap is not a good picture source for products. In fact, it's a terrible one. |
||
+ | |||
+ | : We still block for six months on the first offense. Even if we'll all know what's out in three days, that's not today, is it? |
