what i want from media regarding disabled representation

• No more ableist slurs thrown around casually
• Disabled actors playing disabled characters
• Disabled people being the centre of their narratives
• No cure plotlines
• More diverse disabled characters, no more cishet white guys
• No more villains who’s motive is their bitterness about their disability
• Futuristic worlds where disability is not seen as a flaw of the past
• No more ‘mercy’ killings
• Characters with different disabilities
• Mental illness not being linked to violence
• No more morality lessons for the abled protagonist from their ~inspiring~ disabled friend
• More fucking disabled characters

• no more disabled people being used as “tragic backstory” for abled main characters
