- The cripple punk movement, also known as cpunk, crippunk, or cr*pple punk, is a social movement regarding disability rights that rejects inspirational portrayals of those with disabilities on the sole basis of their disability. Started by Tyler Trewhella in 2014 on Tumblr, the movement draws inspiration from ideas and values of the punk subculture. It challenges the idea that people with disabilities need to appear morally good to deserve the conditional support of able-bodied people, and instead advocates for the solidarity of disabled people who appear not to conform to normative standards through their appearance, body size, dress, use of a mobility aid, drug use, or physical deformity.
