I'm a big fan of Fay Onyx's "Ridding Your Monsters of Ableism." What do we find scary—and why? Villains and monsters can often unintentionally convey fears of disability, and this prevalence of ableism in fiction is harmful to the real people around us. mythcreants.com/blog/ridding...
Sharing with my teen who is a writer and who is also really passionate about disability politics. I’m sure we’ll have a great discussion as a result. Thanks for posting.
All those sharpshooting albino villains they put in things lol
Thank you for reminding me this exists!
This article and another article I found on the site about writing disabled villains respectfully have been so helpful.
