The official Paralympics' TikTok Account has drawn ire from Twitter users and former Paralympians alike for the way they mockingly portray their athletes in a series of bizarre videos.

When one thinks of the Olympics we often think of athletic hero’s.

When we think of the Paralympics we often think of athletic hero’s who overcome incredible feats.


However, the official @Paralympics TikTok account is telling a different story and it has people puzzled.

Take this video for example. Instead of applauding this cyclist on their incredible feat of cycling with just one leg the TikTok account seems to make fun of this very thing.

Or this one, where a blind swimmer is notified they are getting close to the wall.


@paralympics

Blind swimmers getting bopped. 💥

Or this one which shows a wheelchair user celebrating their win at table tennis.


The internet is feeling some type of way about how the official Paralympics TikTok has chosen to portray their athletes.

Criticizers even include Paralympian Brenna Huckaby.

Hopefully these athletes will receive the respect they deserve.

Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall chastised Americans for complaining about high gas prices and insisted they should consider that their "national security is even more important" than whatever blows are being dealt to their wallets at the gas pump.

Consumer prices are up 3.3% compared to a year ago, largely fueled by a surge in energy costs. The energy index jumped 10.9% in a single month as oil and gas prices climbed sharply. Amid the Iran war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil has risen back to around $100 a barrel, pushing gasoline prices up by a record 25%.

Kid Goes Viral After Leaving Sweet Note On Plane For The Person Sitting In Their Seat On The Next Flight

A lot is going on in our world right now that gives us pause, and some of us might feel our hearts breaking under the weight of all of it. That makes acts of kindness, no matter how small they are, more important than ever before.

X user @oatmilkanie shouted out an unidentified child who clearly got the memo when they boarded a plane and discovered that the child had written a note for the next person to sit in their seat, directly on the paper nausea bag that's snuggled in the seat pocket in front of the passenger's knees.

But discovering a whole other room with a creepy door would quickly transform a space from a rental to something out of a horror movie real quick for anybody.
