It wasn't how disabilities as a whole operate in the setting. I used the term deformed because that was the language of the prior post I was responding to. I don't think I have done anything wrong here. I just argued that there isn't anything inherently bad about using physical conditions like this in these ways (they are interesting and dramatic). I think it is very paternalistic for people to say it should only be handled this way or that way. As I explained I have a disability myself. I like when creators aren't afraid to write frankly about them, to explore them in interesting ways, and to not worry about being misperceived (if there is malice behind it, then that is different, but it should be okay for people to explore these tropes and for us to form a judgement about their intent based on the whole work or the whole setting)</p></blockquote><p></p>
