#bad faith interpretations of this post will get you blocked. don’t tell me that aspirational disabled figures make you feel better

i gotta start designing disabled OCs who use outdated transport wheelchairs just to spite everyone who says it’s bad rep and no one really uses them. my OC will need 5 carers to push them and wont be independent at all. bc that’s how i lived life. it won’t be empowering rep, it won’t make disabled people look badass and gifted, it will just be what it is

it’s not inherently progressive to make your disabled character super active and skilled. it’s not inherently offensive to portray disabled characters as lacking abilities & resources. some of us are not independent but we are still entire complex humans i promise
