This is about me and every author whom this comm labels an ableist because they wish something horrifying hadn't happened to their favorite character. This is about me and every author who write stories where Charles can walk and who are lumped together in the same sack as people who call others cripples and other rude words, who belittle disabled people and do it with gusto. And yes, just as others say they are hurt by these stories, I'm hurt by their unfair accusations. Welcome to the fact that these things go both ways.
