this idea I just had and it feels very weird I’ve been reading Dave Hinsburger’s blog and suddenly
I thought about My Little Pony :\
There are three races of ponies that live peacefuly together. Seems to be a metaphor for racism, doesn’t it? Well it isn’t. Zecora is, zebras are. Touched on...
And in light of this sudden realization... Superheroes and mutants. Those who are stronger, who can do MORE, who have overwhelming privilege ability-wise oppressed, hated and feared by "common" masses who suddenly become useless and stupid and incapable of solving their own problems when supers come around
what sort of attitude, ableism-wise, does this approach reflect?
