Fakeclaiming isn't a purely online Western phenomenon. A lot of “pro-social” Bangladeshi monetized vlogger and “citizen journalists” act as if filming random disabled beggars in the streets being able to dodge some obstacles, recognize light or being able to walk after forcibly having their mobility aids taken away is doing some grand justice to “real” disabled people.
Most blind people are in fact not totally blind, and a lot of people who need wheelchairs or walking sticks can still walk short distances, or walk with significant physical costs. Even people with total sensory impairments often develop other ways of navigating their surroundings. For disabled people, the mere ability to do something sometimes is not proof that they can do it just like non-disabled people, or people with different disabilities than theirs, can. It might come with significant pain, physiological crashes, a collapse of health, etc. There can be “good days” and “bad days”. The “ability” might only have come from significant but costly physiological and neurological adaptation. It might reflect burnout-inducing masking and compensation, etc.
Ableists pour this much energy into trying to decide who is a “fakey” while knowing nothing about disabilities. Yet, fakeclaiming ambulatory wheelchair users, people with partial sensory impairments and those with invisible and dynamic disabilities, does not change that most people who could benefit from assistive technology in some way don’t have any. And even when they do, the infrastructure surrounding them doesn’t support it to yield significant benefits. If your entire path is dirt, mud and broken pavement, if every bit of public infrastructure is filled with tall curbs with no cuts and narrow doors and alleyways that one must traverse, if the only way to cross a street or road safely is to climb stairs, if most buildings don’t have lifts, and if assistive tech is just too expensive in the first place, all while disabled people and families with disabled members are disproportionately poorer, suspecting that everyone is "faking" it until proven otherwise becomes nothing more than a distraction from the literal, physical barriers alongside social ones and the consequent precarious material conditions that disabled people face. The places where you can take all this for granted now were either shaped by a history of active political struggle (e.g. look up the Capitol Crawl), or were influenced and informed by existing infrastructure and standards already shaped by it elsewhere (e.g. the more recently built Dhaka Metro Rails, which is nevertheless merely an accessibility island surrounded by inaccessible paths to getting there in the first place).
Whether our current concrete conditions make such political struggle possible and suitable right now, and how that should be carried out, are answerable questions. But when such struggle exists, often carried out by disabled people themselves, the role of non-disabled people should be lateral solidarity, like how the Black Panther Party provided hot meals to the disabled protesters occupying some federal building for 26 whole days in the 1970s San Francisco in order to outlaw certain forms of ableist discrimination. The support that disabled people need more of, both from non-disabled people and other disabled people with different kinds of disabilities, is this kind of lateral solidarity, not vertical patronization and spectacle-making for one’s own profit. Enforcing a willfully ignorant cartoon of total helplessness to not be harassed as a disabled person in significant precariousness is not disability justice, it is monetized ableism and class contempt for the sake of status quo apologia.
What these people, who somehow believe random disabled people owe their no-name nobody self with no real worth or meaningful contribution to society of “proof” of disability in a context where the burden of proof is inverted to support existing power from the start, do, is not some grand “justice” to disabled people. What these people do is not an act of public service. It’s the open bullying and existence-monetization of the most marginalized disabled people. Turning it into a problem of individual fraudulence and denying systemic violence, all while making oneself money, helps avoid confronting the sheer degree of systemic abandonment that holds their education back, deprives their families and keeps them out of employment, and keeps support away from those who can’t be employed, to the point of disproportionate forced marriages, sexual abuse, homelessness and begging being required to survive. The few “actual fakers” they could possibly catch for the large number of disabled people made lumpen in Bangladesh doesn’t add up as beneficial unless giving away 10 Taka is somehow more consequential than is the bare minimum survival needs of disabled people pushed to extreme precariousness. Especially when your interaction with them is constrained to using their situation to make yourself the victim, making them the spectacle, and getting more money to count, rather than it being something that makes you confront the sheer degree of violence and social murder committed by the same status quo that you benefit from.
