writethisfanficHow is today treating you?
Discussion: disabled characters. Does your fandom have characters that are disabled? Are disabled characters under represented in your fandom(s)?
This came up in a very random conversation I was having with Spike while we were watching an L&O: SVU boxset the other night. There are a couple of my fandoms, ST: TNG and Daredevil, that have disabled characters and use them effectively but the rest vary with some using a disabled person as a plot point, often negatively (L&O: SVU does that a lot). I have disabilities and I do often feel that disabled characters are massively under represented in my fandoms and I would love to see more of them.
