access_fandomNew article on disability in specfic at SF Signal:
To summarize: Aaaargh! *Headdesk* *Headdesk* *Headdesk*
The Ship Who Sang suggested as an example of positive depictions of disabled characters - just shoot me now....
Disability overwhelmingly presented as a struggle, people coping with disability dismissed as non-representative, not a mention of the Social Model or the disability rights struggle, a panel that's clearly overwhelmingly non-disabled. There are one or two who have a clue, but overall, just no.
I have committed (possibly harsh) commentary.
