    Social Media Couple Challenges Ableist Narratives in Viral Video

    A popular social media couple, known as 'Squirmy and Grubs,' has taken to their platform to directly address the barrage of ableist comments they receive regarding their marriage. In a recent video, the couple, featuring a woman and her husband who uses a wheelchair, challenged viewers to consider the prejudice embedded in questions about their relationship's legitimacy. "Hi! We're a married couple," the husband states at the beginning of the video, to which the wife adds, "Does that make you want to leave a comment saying there's no way we're actually a married couple? Or that she's cheating on me? Or that he's paying me?" The couple then dramatically exclaims, "Uh-oh! Ableism alert! Wee woo wee woo." They delivered a powerful message advocating for inclusivity in relationships. "Disabled people can and do make wonderful romantic partners, and are just as worthy as non-disabled people," the wife asserted. The video concludes with a strong, non-verbal gesture, implying that negative comments should be disregarded. The video has garnered over 4.2 million views since its upload on July 27, 2025, highlighting the ongoing relevance of combating ableism in public discourse.
