I mean kids in wheelchairs with physical ailments is probably one of the "inclusion" groups I have the most compassion for, having not gotten there by the way of mental illness. I could probably talk myself past my ever increasing aversion for DEI characters if that type character's placement was right. Someone that looks like they'd be in the fat cart at Walmart with a 5 sizes too small mask stretched over their face screaming at me about health, well that isn't going to shine those people in a positive light anyway.
Makes sense and why I've really always hated representation. They always pick out the one person "we need to see ourselves in a story." If I play a game that I create someone to mirror myself, I still want to be a badass. My real world self can't fight off hordes of monsters with an axe, call fire down from the sky, win an F1 race or a World Series, etc. Who wants realistic real life simulation anyway?

Kids in wheelchairs don't want to be represented in fiction as kids in wheelchairs.
