"Wanting to walk again is offensive!"
Presiona para expandir...
I imagine virtually all paraplegics would like to be able to walk and live a normal life again if a cure was invented tomorrow. It almost comes across as more offensive to be like “this is your lot in life and you have to be happy about it no matter what. It’s bad to ever want a cure for your horrible condition.”

I've seen these people bitch about "nonverbal" characters speaking. They're beyond saving.

I would argue that there is some ground to have some characters not want to have their disabilities cured through fantasy bullshit, especially when you start getting into the scenario that what TVT would call “Reed Richards is Useless.” Probably the one good justification given for why Barbara Gordon remained paralyzed for so long even though she had connections the Justice League's miracles in magic and super-science was that she was uncomfortable with exploiting those top-secret treatments knowing that it would never help ordinary people and that she would never be allowed to make it publicly available. You really need to set limits on what fantasy medicine can do otherwise you trivialize real-world ailments, though I would still say that TVT went about explaining that in a really whiny way by implying that imagining a world where people are free from debilitating disabilities actually shows a desire to exterminate the disabled.

That’s all fair enough, what bothers me is the attitude of some people (especially the deaf community) lionizing crippling disabilities for no reason other than… just because. By itself, there’s nothing good or beneficial about it and we don’t need to perpetuate its existence forever and ever just because. It’s like they think people need to suffer endlessly with no cure solely for the perceived glory of being marginalized. It’s genuinely disgusting.

"Nobody ACTUALLY watched Sound of Freedom, chud!"

That's a pretty well-known demoralization tactic, trying to make your opponent feel like they're such a small minority that they can't possibly win.
Kind of reminds how Deaf Culture is rabidly against that one implant that restores your hearing. Some people just enjoy being miserable for asspats, man

Speaking of, remember that period where literally every broadcast had a sign language interpreter who clearly wasn't actually signing what was being said? What was the deal with that?

Another of their users had trooned out. While this ordinarily wouldn't be "a thing," nowadays; what actually caught my eye was his userpage.

Super late reply, but I have a physical urge to bully this mulleted ass nerd. Some locker somewhere is whispering his name to be shoved into. What a fucking vile example of a sperg.

Holy shit.
That was written by a wheelchair miserable fuck, right?

This is an actual belief that some woke disabled people hold. You see it in modern Superhero books all the time now.

It used to be that when you acquire superpowers, that automatically heals your body. But now that's considered offensive, so it's more inclusive to have people in fucking wheelchairs and crutches fighting crime.

Oh I remember the first character, people made so many excuses as to why getting powers didn't heal her condition, it was hilarious watching them go "well she can still use her legs just not for long" as if that means she should always be in a wheelchair outside of fights.
For the second character, the Sentry can fly so there's no reason for her to be in a wheelchair at all while in costume lol.
It's just dumb from an audience perspective, they always look ridiculous whenever you see that they probably could get away with being normal. At least with Barbara Gordon, she just transitioned to a support role and kept fighting crime that way (albeit now she's walking in current canon, forgot what happened there). Sure, the disability forced her to use a wheelchair, but at least back then the writers didn't make excuses, though some writers experimented with her being able to walk again while still using a wheelchair outside of combat. So even if you were disabled, you could still think "she's disabled/was disabled but she's still doing good even if she's not out there on the streets." And even now she's still in her support role (so the disability actually had an impact) despite being able to walk, she just also does the usual crimefighting.
The trope of "we need to inspire disabled people, so let's show disabled superheroes with powers/tech that completely nullify the disability while still showing that they're disabled" always makes me laugh.
