[QUOTE="Aging Bard, post: 8319240, member: 7030944"] Two completely different comments: 1) Baboons are ground dwellers, not tree dwellers, so their appearance in rough, scrub, and even desert makes sense, though perhaps not the deep desert (they don't exist in most of North Africa, for example). 2) Disability representation in the USA is just terrible. Turn on a network TV channel today and you will commonly see Brown/White couples, same sex couples, but still hardly any disabled people at all, unless it's an ad about the disability. The fact that the gaming community has made even the slightest imperfect effort at including disabled representation and participation must seem like a lake in the desert to many disabled people. And yes, that effort is imperfect, as we see in various misguided forms of pushback. But it seems like parts of gaming are at least trying, as opposed to most other institutions in my country.
