why is the most powerful mage in a wheelchair
>>713983589 (OP)I would assume he is a lazy fuck. Surely he isnt a cripple and just likes to sit down, cause any wizard that can summon a magical floating wheelchair can also heal a broken leg.

He can sustain a conjured wheelchair during a raid but can't fix his legs or magically enhance his legs to be able to support him walking for a period of time?

Why a wheelchair though? Why something so blatantly anachronistic and bulky and boring?
You should be able to cast a spell that wraps around your legs and moves them and supports you as you walk/run as if your legs were fine. That would be cool and it would bring the mage on par with other non-crippled mages.
>>713985408But she can walk right? I always thought that she was just very fragile

Cripples are a cool concept in gaming but if you are just going to fucking sprinkle a cure all over it without any mechanical differences it just becomes a visual aesthetician with 0 substance. WoW is faggot shit anyway like all mmos regardless. I also don't get the idea of self inserting your disabilities into fiction. I'd play a crippled for the added change in a game not because I have 0 imagination and wanna self insert, that's fuckijg cringe.
>>713986023>Karma is basedIt was worth it. summer 2021 was a hell of a time to be playing xiv.
>>713983823Big bad blew up dalaran using some macguffin that can absorb magic. He turned himself into magic somehow and went into the macguffin to survive and is freed later but is at deaths door. Anduin reconnects with the light and heals him
So ignoring why Anduin didnโt heal him to full and it being an arcane construct instead of an actual chair, it does make a degree of โsenseโ at least in terms of Warcraft

Why are these people trying to validate and glorify weaknesses?
>>713986218Cause it's funny
>>713983589 (OP)It's weird, because on a conceptual level I'm ready to accept this idea, but something just feels wrong about it. It makes sense because he's a powerful wizard, but the way they did it feels incredibly faggy to me. In contrast, I kind of liked what Touhou manga (please forgive me for troonhou as an example) did with Okina, who's basically a lazy bastard god. It doesn't really feel forced, because the character was already sitting half the time. Moreover, she's apparently supposed to also be a god for the disabled in Shinto, so it fits her character. She can stand up if she wants to, but she'd rather laze around, and it also symbolizes the people she blesses. It also looks kinda aesthetic. Meanwhile, Khadgar's wheelchair has neither style nor any substance. It is an entirely subjective opinion, but I can't help but think it feels stupid and it bothers me to no end.
>>713985805>Ah I see that even in world of warcraft I would still be disabled.Nice fantasy killer, I could realistically believe that if I was in the wow setting I could be a paladin smiting hordes of undead.

>>713986395i'd say it depends on the context of how healing magic works in setting, its pretty logical to have wheelchairs if healing magic can only rapid boost your natural recovery and not fix broken limbs/bones

>>713986897I don't think disabled people romanticize the idea of being disabled though.
>>713984606And if it has to be a chair, why not some cool throne instead of a silly wheelchair?
This is like having the option of riding to war in a warhorse or a pogostick and you pick the pogostick
For the record, i don't know if this is "representation" at all. He just got his shit kicked and could just be recovering and blizz is using a wheelchair to say it was super serious you guys
Kinda similar to when Anduin had every bone in his body broken and had a cane briefly but now is totally fine
>>713986856on the flip side though, when I watch BR2049, I identify with K being a loner, I don't seethe that he's Ryan Goslin and hot enough to fuck anybody
So maybe they're just happy to feel represented

>>713987316This. The idea of a crippled wizard in a wheel chair is fucking stupid and silly. The idea of a wizard on a throne on a dais carried by a bunch of minions is pretty badass.
>>713987310nah, just able bodied white woman members of the dev team,
They can't imagine not wanting to use your hardships for pity, and thus, show it off to everyone.
Same shit when they tried to push "Don't say disabled, they're just differently abled!" and every single disabled person out there told them they're fucking stupid.
>>713987423I will not say there are no disable people happy about it, but I'd bet my money that they are the minority and most disabled people just think it's dumb and silly.
Professor Xavier did it, I'm not sure what makes the D&D fags here so mad.
Need a gif of Khadgar flying his wheel chair into the twin towers
>>713983589 (OP)But why does it look like an actual wheelchair?
Why not at the very least make a chariot or a throne or something like that?
Why are they so retarded?
>>713987147To be fair, they were trying to do that with Khadgar since 2003 when Jaina was obviously meant to be his replacement.
>>713985805When people talk about wheelchair representation, they arent talking about people in wheelchairs. They are talking about the lobby for the pharmaceudical company that makes and licenses wheelchairs. If a medibuisiness corpo could create a rationality for having mandatory state-enforced insurance to overpay for fitbits, then wow would introduce a plotline where the introduction of a magical fitbit saves a major character from death and after that everyone in wow would start wearing magic fitbits.

>>713987531>differently abledThat doesn't even make any sense. Like, yeah, they are still able in some ways, but they're still disabled in some way. It's like how people are trying to push calling homeless people "unhoused" now.

>>713983589 (OP)I'm not even that mad about wheelchair (okay, mad because you can resurrect people from literal skull and a bunch of giblets but apparently fixing legs is too hard)
I'm mostly mad that it's such a basic bitch wheelchair. Come on, you're a cool wizard guy, you can conjure something better.
Consider this
A crippled wizard who uses a wheelchair. He's entirely capable of fixing himself, but he's a major dick. His magic means being in a wheel chair isn't any inconvenience, he just does it to piss off other people in wheelchairs.
>Stop complaining, being in a wheelchair isn't an inconvenience at all. Come with me, I'll show you.
>Magics himself up the stairs, abandoning the other guy at the bottom
>>713987254>Brings up the left>Brings up his fetish in the same post
>>713987597Because X actually used the wheelchair for its intended purpose most of the time, plus X-man is in modern age and the mutant factor isn't the common thing in the world. So X just adapted his powers he had before getting on the wheelchair to live with the wheelchair itself as an extension of his body.
But Khadgar doesn't need that and he lives in the age of fantasy and magic from the start, hell even other races have like mechanical legs and shit to use.
>>713987861You should have a more interesting solution for no legs in a fantasy setting than just a fucking wheelchair.
>>713986708Why are you bring dense on purpose?
>>713987719Wow could honestly do it just as organically. Just make a gnome mechanist in a wheelchair with limited rocket-propelled flight. Wheelchairs make sense as a mechanical and scientific solution for limited mobility, hence why they exist in the first place in our world of science and physical mechanics. The idea of doing it with a wizard is just stupid because a wizard has a million better ways to move than an arcane wheelchair.
>>713985805It's fucking stupid, for the same reason ugly fat people don't want to be represented by an ugly, fat character.
The only people that cry about
>BUT MUCH DISABLED WHEELCHAIR REPRESENTATION Are people who aren't disabled in the first place.
>>713985408The fact that this is a futuristic, technological, wheelchair vs some rough looking wooden one makes a world of difference.
The fundamental problem is the same with most leftist media. Mentally they are children, and they are unable to create mental maps that are not the their own.
So when they think about a disabled wizard all they can do is come up with a wheelchair. They can't think "what would I ride if I were a disabled wizard".
>>713988141Nothing from american corporations and california after 2020 has been organic.
>>713985408Of course, since I can fuck him (for me this is the best cripple)

>>713983898>not a cripple>just some ancient chinese ass bullshit where a servant wheels you around because you're too important to walk

>>713987969You see, the problem specifically is that the wheelchair is not an answer to an in-setting issue. It's not a response to the character being disabled, it's not a common fix to problems in the world, and it's most certainly not presented as a measure that characters in the setting would take outside of this extremely narrow narrative circumstance. The entire point of this is to tick off a box in a corporate suit's Diversity Chartโข so they can report it to another ccorporate suit and get another $10M in loans so they can mismanage their current finances for a bit longer. Making a "cool" wheelchair would involve them making something fun and magical, which would then suggest something other than the box-ticking matrix wants you to see.
>>713987969>>713985721>>713987875Seriously theres so much interesting shit they could have done with arcane contructs to even some sort of magic power armor and instead went down the performative/lazy route that doesnt appeal to anyone but people so faggy that most other queers find them annoying.

>>713988552I've always loved these characters. Both Stephen and Louis Cyphere stand out because they look way too clean and way too stable for regular humans in the extreme hellscapes they wind up appearing in, and near-instantly raise dozens of alarm bells. Seeing another frothing, gnashing demon on the road full of similar frothing, gnashing demons, but pausing to ask you for a favor makes sense because the world is already chaotic and dangerous. Seeing a well-dressed cripple casually moving along while waxing philosophical is borderline psychological horror in worlds like these.

>>713989152"able bodied" is a term that predates any SJW bullshit you retarded fucking zoomer
Why do you guys have such a stigma against wheelchairs?
It's always the same arguments about "you can heal with magic", "you can use technology".
But I can assure you if they created a character 10 years ago that was blind and used a blindfold and staff, or a fencing one-armed character that didn't need their other arm, there would literally be zero complaining.
There have been countless wheelchair characters in media with zero issue and only recently with DnD and WoW did people start to complain.
I've been thinking about it for some time, like why are wheelchairs suddenly seen as bad?
And I think I've finally come to the conclusion, which is Americans have sort of tainted the idea of someone who uses a chair to get around because to them it's synonymous with mobility scooters and being a fat american instead of just someone who uses a wheelchair.
>>713987942Professor X can also float if he wants to
>>713989282>Why do you guys have such a stigma againstdumb ESL retard
>>713989256Wrong, that's just a normal person. Just type white woman, retard.
>>713989184>socioeconomic backgroundthat's the first think I think about when choosing a character in a fighting game
>>713988725It depends on what you want to do with it. The idea of the magical wizard having a fragile, if not downright broken, body but using a magical construct is just cool. Meanwhile seeing this formerly powerful mage so broken that he can no longer even walk is also pretty strong imagery. I'm reminded of Drek'Thar, who has been stuck in a wheelchair since Cata to highlight just how freaking old he's gotten.
>>713989030That's another good example. Even ignoring the obvious contrast of him going back and forth between old and young. A lot of it highlights just how freaking off they are. Stephen especially in the sequels when it becomes more and more clear there is just something very off about him.
>>713989340Thirdie, nothing he said was wrong except his opinion. Please take more English classes.
>>713989282Because it's all about the setting.
Cool blind characters that use sound, ki, or mana to "see" around them existed in the media since forever, but you never needed to make a show about it to virtue signal.
Wheelchairs aren't bad, we have cool characters in wheelchairs, the problem is the obvious virtue signaling that even break 4th walls and lore and setting only for the sake of gaining internet points.
>>713988508That is Haephestus, the Greek god of the forge. He is not an OC donut steel that the Hades devs made up, he is an actual mythical character.
>>713985805Video games are escapism. Fantasy games where you play as a hero shouldn't remind you that you're a fucking cripple irl by having your demigod wizard character also be a fucking cripple
>>713989282If their major character trait is "I'm in a wheelchair", it's bad. If it's just a secondary attribute of theirs, it's fine.

>>713989342the point was to say they're not disabled white women, cocksucker.
It's the most grammatically correct way to say that sentence while making that point.

>>713989282can't speak for everyone obviously, but I just found the DnD ones hilarious because they were so broken to the point there was no reason not to have the entire party flying around on wheelchairs
Feels like it misses the mark of "representation" when the disability makes your character better in every way
>>713989767It's not?
You only think so because the writers use wheelchair themselves because it's the easiest shit to virtue signal around, and they don't need to be creative about it.
>>713989760>the point was to say they're not disabled white women, cocksucker.It is completely normal to assume that everyone is normal, you don't have to specifiy it.

>>713989282This is all stemming from DnD's Combat Wheelchairs, which were an extremely lazy way generate instant Diversity Points in an era where Diversity Matters was on the lips of every corporate consultation firm. Their application was an issue, not because of the fact that they were simply characters in wheelchairs, but because the wheelchairs were basically magical tank treads that give 100 attributes that make them superior in numerous ways to non-wheelchair'd characters even in combat situations where literally anything else would be a better answer. You could put in the Blind Swordsman(who everybody thinks is badass), the One-Legged Warlord/Pirate Captain/etc(who is also seen as badass), and other such disabled characters, but they don't represent a contemporary disability, and as such don't get included in games like this as a measure to show off disability to the rest of the corporate sphere.
It's always a measure of how genuine the application is, and in most cases where a character is wheelchair-bound, it doesn't even cause the mildest of splashes. Having a fucking dragon in a wheelchair in WoW is something every person involved in the creation of it should have felt ill and canned before it saw the light of day, but it shipped all the way to market.
>>713989904>Hell why isnโt every knight wearing power armor.power armor is rare and expensive, almost most power armor users are gnomes and goblins which are drastically smaller
you can't outfit an army with it, and besides, your average paladin is a strong as a power armor user to begin with so they don't need it
>>713989916It's the most flashy disability to work with.
I am glad I don't have any woke disability (only bad eyes) so people won't lump me in with those idiots.

>>713989829Anon, revisionist history is what (((they)) do. You aren't one of (((them))) are you?
>>713989941There's a reason why they never had rights until 100 years ago.
>>713989767When I play fantasy games, and there's a blind character. They might have a blindfold, or white eyes, hell, maybe no eyes. Occasionally, a walking stick.
Know I've never seen devs try to shove into a fantasy game to show that a character is blind? Modern day sunglasses, and a modern day white cane.
When fantasy games start doing that shit, i'll complain there too. just use something that fits the setting.
>>713989282The problem isnt the wheelchair, its the mentality behind adding it that is indicative of where their priorities are. Its that you have a world where people can fly and levitate and have inventions like exoskelton suits and mechs on am iniature scale, and they are using wheelchairs for the disabled, as in, when confronted by something as basic as stairs or rocks, somone has to wheel this guy around on a fucking chair with wheels, when there are levitating sofas, hoverboards and people can fly, with or without assistance. Its a lack of creativity in the name of representation. Its real group identity before in setting consistency. Its the definition of woke, this is how you describe doing something woke. Its stuff like this that breaks and rips you out of any setting.
The chair is completely devoid of creativity and says "youre crippled, so we added a crippled character for you that uses stuff from real life. You must like this character becuase theyre like you, theyre crippled too!". Like, do you think the actual crippled people dont empathize with people who arent crippled? Do we only want people to empathize with people that look like them now? Do you think the people this is meant for want this? Because I think those people want the mech legs, Im not going to lie, I dont think they see a character in a wheelchair and suddenly feel more connected to them than to the character which is able to walk fine and is more in line with their ideals than just thei physical abnormalities.

>>713989904Because it's not woke enough to give them an exosuit. You could also take a disabled character in a magic clockwork nonsense setting and give them some kind of badass clockwork throne to work with, but it's not woke anymore for them to be seated on something that's actually cool.

>>713989282It's not the wheelchair, it's how ridiculous the situation is.
Bro is already using magic to levitate AND to create the magical wheelchair, why does it exist then?
It's like if bro was blind, but could use mana to see, yet they still needed to give him a pair of pink Raybanโข glasses created with the same magic that is already allowing him to see.

I'm not buying TOW because the kikes at GW still nuked the setting, I'm just less mad now.
>>713983589 (OP)>wheelchair characterThat's actually smart; Blizzard is trying to get people with disabilities into WoW to make them addicted to the game. There is a substantial number of people using wheelchairs in the US. Khadgar on a wheelchair looks kinda lame though.
>It's difficult to pinpoint the exact number of wheelchair users in the US within the specific age range of 12-40, as data collection often focuses on broader age categories or specific disability types. However, some sources suggest that roughly 3.7 million people in the US use wheelchairs, and there are estimates of 124,000 wheelchair users under the age of 21. Additionally, data indicates that about 13% of the non-institutionalized population has a disability.
>>713993823It will always be my favorite thing in this world that WHFB was canned in their desperate bid to sell Space Marines to Fantasy players, AoS being immediately subject to overwhelming hatred by the Fantasy community at large, and then TWW dropping and being one of the most financially successful Warhammer video games ever released, sparking massive interest in Fantasy again and making GDubs realize how misguided they were.

Dude is also pretending to be extra hurt so he can spend time with some chick if you talk to him about the wheelchair.

>>713994792>don't know why they marketed then in bright yellow.In the short period of time they were created yellow was the default greenskin colour due to some weird shit with 40k reusing failed campaign mode photos featuring yellow subfaction in all marketing for orkz.

>>713983823In a world with healing magic, healing potions, resurrection, no less
>>713996446Bentley's actually a great example of how to do this trope right, because he was already a chair-bound character with a tech obsession, so when he shows up in the 3rd game in a wheelchair that can do science stuff, its basically already been set up and has a natural payoff that feels believable and appropriate with the setting.
>>713987969now this is cool
>>713989282It's obviously being done for virtue signaling reasons and not because the designers though it would be cool or have some story significance. It's especially blatant in WoW's case because ever since Actiblizz's Cosby suite/breast milk thief scandal happened they've gone with a fine toothed comb over the game replacing everything that might plausibly offend even one of the 8 billion people on the planet and then making every character going forward (and even rewriting some past ones) to be gay or a cripple or a tranny, it's so blatant and in-your-face it's just grating.

>>713983589 (OP)Never fuck with a wizard in a wheelchair, one who constantly magically summons a floating magical mount even more so. Guy basically min-maxed pure brains over brawn, and wizards are unaffected by the state of their body. Plus, he WILL target everyone's legs first. You laugh now, but when the entire battlefield turns into a poison swamp he can just ride over unaffected, you'll be sorry. He'll summon roots from the ground to bind you in place. He'll cast slow on your entire army. He doesn't even need fireball because knows spell combos that do even greater overall damage. You RUN from the wheelchair wizard, because that means he's so good the fact his legs don't work is of no concern to him and does not impact his ability to use magic at all. You RUN from a wheelchair wizard and just hope it's uphill, if just doesn't snipe you with lighting bolt 500 feet away or summon a demon directly on top of your ass.
>>713983823It worked for Professor X. Do you want to stand around all day? Unless you are in a company doing that standing desk meme, then you'd want to sit around if you have to work.

>>713990257No, you faggot, it means that it's within the reasonable to depict him that way. The game isn't suggesting that's the only way to portray him, disingenuous hack.

>>714000831The fact that they can time travel, revive the dead, regrow entire barren or scorched areas with new life, use spaceships to travel to new planets and have personally met their Gods but still cant cure a handicap is funny to me.
>>714000563>>714000348>>714000182Its not so much that "He can walk, he uses the chair because his crush made it for him"
That scene is implying, "There are other options, like using an aid animal like a gryphon to move around, but he uses the chair because Archmage Modera pussy game crazy and she made it for him as a gift"
Regardless, considering what Arcane magic is capable of in the WoW setting, a character as powerful as Khadgar being able to teleport around the world, and to other worlds, but not being able to fix his legs is pretty awful writing
>>714001207don't forget that mages literally can bring themselves back to life with cauterize
why did he even die in the first place
>>714000936This does happen. People wrap their identities/personalities up in what makes them 'different,' even if that thing might be detrimental to them 'cause they want to cope about not needing to be fixed. Although this is usually something you see in people disabled from birth and not people who get back injuries and stuff (because they know how much better things could be if they weren't fucked up).

>>713985408Does this wheelchair fly? The WoW one the guy is floating make the wheels completely useless and are only there to be inclusive.
>>714001182Are you slow or black? The wheelchair being basic is perfectly in line with Khadgar's humour.
Have you not played WoW? One of the most powerful mage ever using the most mundane item ever, it's something Khadgar would definetly do.
>>713983823Is a man not allowed to sit down every once in a while
>>714001404>>714001234Even if it does happen, that doesnt make it any less stupid.
And Khadgar has never been stupid. In fact he's always been very pragmatic and "End justifies the means" kind of wizard where he was perfectly willing to cause all manner of chaos if it meant doing whats best for people in the end.
>>713983589 (OP)Why does the magic chair need wheels if it flies?

>>714001757>Why can't this generation makes cool things anymore?Because the obsession is more about LOOKING like you're trying to be inclusive, not actually BEING inclusive. Prof. X didn't have a traditional wheelchair, so it wasn't worth as many brownie points. "Who cares if a disabled person would rather have a flying hover chair?" they think. "WE NEED PEOPLE TO SEE THAT WE PUT IN A REAL WHEELCHAIR!"
That's how you know these people are trash.

It's the same thing that you have been fighting for years yet have not been able to effectively decode, reverse engineer and use against your enemies. You focus on the wrong details.
>fantasy character is in a wheelchairWhy? Pragmatically speaking it's to make the company appear as though it cares about diversity. This will fool a majority of people.
>but that doesnt make any sense!To your average person neither do elves, halflings, magic nor anything else. It exists because it is fantasy and that's just what fantasy does. "Fantasy" may as well be a synonym for "gaga", it follows no discernible logic for the normalfag.
>*tries to explain in depth why the wheelchair doesnt make sense*Again, fantasy doesn't make sense. You've seen that one image where a BMW is permitted to exist in Tolkien fiction because elves and magic do.
This is where you fuck up. Normalfags aren't going to comprehend themes or tone, they will not sit down and listen to some explanation of it.
So what should you actually do? You have a few options.
>ignore it>stop caring about corposlop>stop caring what normalfags think about a dead and decaying hobby>gatekeep>shun unintelligent people>interact exclusively with people who arent hylics>pirate all media to deny corporations profit

Not just from being immediately knocked down and becoming easy pickings because no monster is gking to paciently wait for you to get back on your cuck chair but the main form of going upwards is stairs.
It's the same reason why you still have trannies in SF settings where anyone can change gender for real.

>oh what if he can't use magic all the time?then it would also vanish because it's a fucking ghost wheelchair, it's not comfortable because it's a shitty wooden wheelchair and it doesn't need the wheels because it floats. It's like they put extra effort into going through every scenario to make it as self-defeatingly anti-fiction as possible.

>>714006436>Wow used to be a brutal Heavy-metal type fantasyLMAO
>>713989282Because it's fucked, not only is it constantly breaking the internal consistency of the fiction, not even because of magic healing, but already because there are a million ways for people to get more effectively and narratively interesting around than the same big dumb wooden wheelchair (When this bait discussion comes up I always think of the albinauric women in Elden Ring, who can't use their legs, so they ride around on huge agile wolves, to name one of many examples), the entire message is also completely horrendous if you think more about it than not at all, because fiction exists to break free from reality and this shit is telling people
>Not you though! Even in the most fantastic worlds you'd be sitting in a wheelchair, because that's who you are and that's a good thing!Do you really believe any non-retarded disabled person when given the choice to have a fully functioning body again would go

>>714004467>>714005716I hate Russians so much it's unreal. You dumb gullible fuck.
>>714008789Not having a visible wheelchair invalidates the developers solidarity to the staircase intolerant.
>>713989282Blind swordsman is a cool trope. He is essentially not blind. They usually used magic or trained to overcome this.
A cripple in modern games is defined by being a cripple but not slightly inconvenienced by this stat. They have nothing to overcome because they are valid the way they are.
It's the tone set. A wheelchair bound character from old games acknowledges that a wheelchair is actually inconvenient. IF they're a boss or combatant then they're usually using some for of exoskeleton or magical walker legs to fight, depending on the setting. They are following the rule of cool instead of lame and gay.
>>714006436>Wow used to be a brutal Heavy-metal type fantasy ripped straight from DnD campaigns built upon fantasies like Tolkein and the Conan fantasies.Not true in the slightest tf is u smoking?

>>714012074>>714012227Actually yes, if it was just a floating throne thing it'd be actually cool. But it tries to ape something that exists in our world solely as a compromise.

>>713983823>>713983589 (OP)You would like it if it was cute girl in wheelchair. You are just sexist.
>>714012963Cute girls can get away with literally anything even if it's retarded, and arguably it/they being retarded is just part of the appeal and the cuteness, so it's really not a fair comparison at all.
>>713999630Professor X always gets his legs healed but keeps getting crippled again
>>714012850Gays cannot into cool engineering, everything always has to be some shade of pink and shit looking
Are wheelchairs just fanservice for woke people now?
>>713983589 (OP)>>713983823>>713985091The trope of "Extremely capable, but otherwise has a disability" is as old as time. You have a bunch of comic book characters with this trait: Charles Xavier, Daredevil, Oracle, in anime you got Edward from Fullmetal Alchemist, Venom Snake is missing an arm, So are Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, ancient greeks depicted the god Hephaestus in a chair with wheels, Toph from Avatar is Blind, Bran Stark is Paralyzed, Eli Vance is missing a Leg, Furiosa is missing an arm, Hiccup from how to train your dragon is missing a leg, Captain Hook, Barret replaced his arm...
So it happens in both classic stories (all the way back to ancient greeks) to modern ones. Giving a capable character a disability is just a pretty common way to balance them out and make them memorable at the same time. Hell, technically Mother brain fits this too. Being literally just a brain dependent on machinery to do anything.
>>714012963Actually a magenta wheel chair would still look stupid even if it did have a cute girl on it. Sorry.
>>714013393Yeah, leftist think it makes them look super accepting and open minded. Honestly, as someone who is stuck in the eternal cuck chair it just feels like they are mocking me.
>>714014025I wish people like you would be as vocal about it though
It would be hilarious to see their "good intentions" crumble under arguments like "it just feels like they are mocking me" and how its actively making you feel worse about yourself etc.
>>713999630Professor X can throw hands though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XlBgyxnth8
>>714013416>Extremely capable, but otherwise has a disability>Captain Hook
>>714013416None of those characters have an easy remedy for their disability, so it's not comparable.
>>713986626>fantasy killerThis is always a retarded argument made by reactionaries to exclude anything they don't like. You can take literally anything, and go: "Bwah! BWah! It breaks my immersion!!!" Because that's a subjective standard. The fat retard baby yelled about "can't have immersion" because a sci-fi space game had pronouns. The fucking Genre that is possibly known the most for fucking around with weird gender concepts. So for anyone who read stuff like "The Left Hand of Darkness" by famous Sci-Fi author Ursula K. Le Guin, from the fucking 60s, seeing gender fuckery in sci-fi is completely normal. But if you're some culture war faggot, you can just yell MODERN AUDIENCES! MUH IMMERSION! and act like that's an argument.
Same bullshit with Fantasy games: "You mean to tell me I can cast ressurection, and heal, and Lay on Hands, but we couldn't heal Vol'Jin??? THIS BREAKS MY FANTASY!!! It is well established, that the shit we can do with our abilities is not always something we can do in "canon". Healers can heal some wounds, yes. But if a character loses an arm in a cutscene, that's it for that arm, despite the world having healing and ressurection. So you can either realize that the guy has a "canon" injury that can't just be healed for some reason, or you can be a faggot about it and just say "fantasy killer".
>>714014509Same goes for you. It's the "Why didn't we just heal Aerith" debate.
>>714014240I don't use facebook or anything, they'll just have to figure it out eventually.
>>714014605>Same goes for youThat was my first reply to you, so I don't think it does. "Balancing" a character with a negative quality or disability does not make sense in a setting where the disability canonically can be easily healed.
>>714014605It's just fanservice for retards like you, and you know it. Shut the fuck up.
>>714014352Having a cool hook hand isn't all it's crack up to be, dude has to wipe his ass eventually.
>>714000182but it doesn't even look like a real item, it's translucent and purple like khad pulled it out of his ass just now with a creation spell
an external gift would look like it's made of real materials or so I would think
>>714014240It has happened, and it doesn't matter, because this stuff isn't made for people with disabilities. This stuff is made for upper middle class whites who want to feel like they're morally superior because they consume media with diversity in it and drive an electric car.
>>714014626Im not sure how devs ever see something like this anyway except maybe through twitter or something
Not like they read the forums
>>714014352I guess Hook depents on which Peter Pan story we're thinking about, how capable he is goes back and forth a bit between the different adaptations, but he is at the very least (in universe) considered to be a very skilled sword fighter. Of course being the villain he is bound to lose, but yeah, he's not terribly incompetent, just because he ends up losing.
But if you want you can chalk that up one to "famous character with physical disability" instead of "capable character with disability" if you want.
>>714014842That's what Mr Smee is there for.
>>714014924>electric car.unless its a tesla, in which case they actively burn the lithium based car and delerships (good for climate change), or put cuck stickers to avoid their cars getting torched
>>714014924Which is why disabled people should demonize this practice and turn that moral superiority into shame
Though this would require them to act just as retarded
>>714014827Ancient greeks created fanservice, just for me? Wow!! And many of these other characters like Professor X where made for me before I was even born? Is it both "woke nonsense for modern audiences" or is it something that existed in story telling for almost as long as we had stories? Hell, Even Sherlock Holmes had a drug addiction that on occasion worried Watson. Are we gonna pretend that writing characters with flaws and disabilities is bad now? Or "fan servicy"? Was Arthur Conan Doyle doing fanservice for the cocaine addictis in the 1880s and 1890s?
>>714015549Did the ancient greeks make this
>>713983589 (OP) you actual fucking retard.
>>713983589 (OP)The only thing I dislike about this, is that the model is a bit lazy. (lazy in design, not execution there was clearly effort put into designing the actual wheelchair bit) It's clearly a wooden chair, with wooden bits hold together by heavy iron strips bolted into the wood. A very common Warcraft style.
But they also went ahead and made it spectral, (or whatever, I guess spectral in WoW is blue) so then why is it wood and metal like this? If Kadghar conjured this, jazz it up a bit. Look at how the "mage table" summon looks, make it more like that kind of material, put wizard runes on the wheels, give it something more magical than: "regular in-universe fitting wheelchair, but pink and see-through".
