#Devoteeism
I honestly couldn't tell you, devoteeism only works for physically disabled people, and as far as I know there aren't any words for a paraphilia regarding mentally challenged people so uh... come up with your own I guess lol.

There is room to criticize how people who’ve never been disabled/caretakers make up scenarios that reek of devoteeism w/out suggesting that requiring aid/caretakers is burdensome or icky.
Don’t use ableism to fight ableism, they don’t cancel each other out.

DEVOTEEISM: fetishization of the disabled. Lurking questions behind the DJT/Natalie Harp relationship, described: devotion, care, love, commitment, weird, OCD, passion, service, alt-family, incontinence, diapers, dementia, fetish, beautiful young women, desperation, need, comfort, dependance...

iirc debilophilia is the coined word for it

it can be devoteeism if the person looks mentally disabled (by someone's personal definition i guess) , anapirophilia also works despite the definition stating physical disability

but like... bradism *is* kinda cool...

Most are SUPER ill equipped to tackle devoteeism in fandom as they all hold the same core belief:

The needs are “special”.

1 side of the coin enjoys imagining fulfilling them to stroke their ego, among…other things. The other balks at the burden! Both consider themselves heroes (・∧‐)ゞ

this guy gets jt🙏 i think it meshes nicely with alastors supposed god complex (which im assuming as per his supposed moral code in killing people + targeting overlords in hell) so he thinks vox is pleasanf in his passive devoteeism. Everything else however is quite puzzling and it scares him /silly

Everytime I see a picture of Ken Paxton and or Greg Abbott I'm reminded of the Devoteeism practiced by the Texas GOP.

Look it up, I don't want to spoil it for you.
BTW, the severely dangerous flesh-eating maggot is either photo.
New data reveals that New World Screwworm, a severely dangerous flesh-eating maggot, is spreading throughout Texas.

This comes months after Ken Paxton supported cutting Screwworm monitoring programs.

So, as someone disabled, this makes me wonder how this intersects with the real world version of people who have a fetish for disabled people: devotees/devoteeism.

I never got Chomsky devoteeism outside maybe reading him in early adulthood as the popular gateway to better societal critique? Like what actual deep thoughts has the man had outside of his academic specialty (which I respect!)?
