Had this conversation with someone who chose to no longer be at my table after meeting a blind NPC (files.catbox.moe)

Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat.

Felt like sharing it here because I'm sure more people should keep this kind of thing in mind.

It’s a big case of “I don’t like myself as I am and this person with a disability accepts themself so there must me something wrong with me; I’ll take it out on them!” Style projection

    No, it's argued agaibst because it doesn't make any sense logistically or economically.

    And no, handwaving it away because "it's a fantasy setting, realism doesn't matter" is not an argument. There's a thing called suspension of disbelief, which requires a settng to be internally consistent.

    I’m responding specifically to the difficulty some folks have, with understanding why a disabled person wouldn’t want to be ‘fixed’.

    The issue is that in a setting with access to healing magic, you generally wouldn't suffer from a disability long enough for it to be part of your identity
