Oh, you poor, brainwashed soul...

What, would you rather pretend that these folks don't exist? Or that they be erased from the storybooks? Would you prefer that the issue of disability be forever glossed over in literature, televised programming, and the cinema, lest someone should get hurt feewings?

It's a matter of 'how such individuals are portrayed. That is what counts. Merely acknowledging that these individuals exist is no crime, and as a matter of fact, some of the greatest films of all time have been about disabled characters. Take Forrest Gump and Finding Nemo for example.

Getting worked up over the fact that any portrayal of such individuals exists is... really not okay.
