The way some of them looked at it was like this, people were going to gawk at them and stare at them no matter what, so at the very least, they wanted to control who could gawk at them, and when, and for how much $ for most of them it would be the only way they could make a decent living.

Getting fined for being out in public for being ‘unsightly’ is genuinely wild.

[@jakdekayen]

As a disabled person, it sometimes is still difficult to be in public. I've actually legitimately been told to leave businesses, pools etc. Sometimes by employees, other times by fellow humans just enjoying their day like I was trying to do. We still are treated as if we're something disgusting and unsightly. Just the other day I had a kid get out of an elevator, see my deformity and loudly exclaim "what the heck is that thing momma?" And instead of scolding and or using the opportunity to teach her child about differences or even getting her to apologize the woman just look at me and said something like "i dunno baby, but lets not stay and find out." It sucks to exist sometimes as someone different than societal norms. It truly does.

[@ANYHOO0]

The 1932 movie "Freaks" used actual freakshow performers as actors, it was interesting. Obviously they weren't all gifted actors, but it was still pretty good.

[@drewgoin8849]

Yeah, the performers were portrayed with sympathy and they were given an opportunity to avenge being exploited by a devious couple.

[@ANYHOO0]

@@drewgoin8849 that was definitely the best part about it.

[@myredpencil]

"One of us, one of us, gooble gobble one of us!" Fabulous B&W movie, definitely worth watching as the freaks portray themselves and all the classics are there!

[@getopium]

If you ever plan on doing part 2 of this freakshow video I highly recommend the story of Sarah Baartman. She was an indigenous Khoi woman from South Africa whose body was exploited in these freakshows. Just to summarize her story, she was taken from her homeland in South Africa, where the British found interest in her bodily features, they saw it as "exotic" and unordinary. Her body would be oversexualized by the public at these freakshows, and sadly she experienced extreme exploitation because of her body, which ultimately resulted in her passing. Her remains were then used for the sake of science/research and displayed in French museums. It was only years later that her remains were returned to her homeland in South Africa. Just a really sad story and really proves how inhumane these freakshows were.

[@4RILDIGITAL]

It's disheartening to learn about the dark past of freak shows and how they exploited disabled individuals for mere entertainment. It's remarkable how much we've progressed as a society in terms of human rights since then.

[@jakdekayen]

We may have made leaps and bounds but as a disabled person, I can attest that we are still treated as a scourge on humanity. I have been asked to leave businesses, I have been denied getting to do things like ice skating, or ziplining, even though I signed the waivers stating I understood it was my own fault for attempting it. I have been pressured to leave pools by other people because they "didn't want to catch polio" and countless other ignorant comments. I have to continously deal with people asking questions constantly, etc. I don't mind the questions too much, because how else will they learn? But it does get very exhausting teaching little kids about disabilities for the 50th time while just trying to get food at the store. We have made huge strides, but until people are taught differences exist and happen and to just let people live and leave them alone, we have a long, LONG way to go.

These shows were a mix of racism and mockery on disabled people. That's horrible inhumane and very sad. People nowadays -include myself- will never know/understand how much discriminations these poor people went through, I mean disability or being black/arabian.... is way more accepted today than it were during the 19th century. These people only had place in freaks shows and couldn't access other jobs. I'm disabled and black myself and with no doubt I had so much chances than these people at the time: education, medical caring.....

Just a little extra about Chang and Ang (hope I'm spelling that right) is that for a time after they each got married and started having kids, many wondered if they could be split apart by cutting the flesh conjoining them. The twins' wives did not want to risk killing them, however, in case if the surgery went wrong. After their deaths, an autopsy was done. It turns out, the two shared a liver, and if they were separated, they would have died. Glad they didn't get that surgery!
