This little snippet caught my eyes
Of course, like Daredevil, one of the few disabled mainstream superheroes, this blind character is superpowered, likely due to his special connection to the Force. While the inclusion of a blind hero, albeit in a supporting role, will cause many to cheer, I still wonder: Do disabled characters need to be superheroes to be included?

If you want them to do the stuff non-disabled people can do such as fight and engage in action scenes? Yes definatly. Otherwise he's just going to be gunned down by stormtroopers after being a total load for the group, blind people are not noted for their use in military operations. I'm pretty sure no-one wants to watch limbless torso Darth Vader roll around on the floor struggling to breathe without his advanced medicalsuit and cybernetics.
 
Worth noting that I couldn't get to the article because this was in the way:

Even on archive I can't escape this garbage - the website's filthy tentacles extend everywhere.

The whole movie is sci-fi garbage about people flying around in spaceships and using magic mind powers. None of the characters are realistic.

This has always been an amusing contradiction in the way feminists criticize fantasy. Female character can leap 100 feet, breathe underwater, rip a tree in half, and travel through time. But if she has big boobs and a small tummy...

"THAT'S JUST UNREALISTIC!!"
 
I actually think this might be the most insane mainstream-ish site on the internet.
Stuff like infowars, there are one or two insane logical leaps to make in understanding what they say, but overall you can kind of see the path they take to arrive at a conclusion.
ef operates on a mind-boggling level of cognitive dissonance.
It is really just that bad.

At least Infowars is occasionally entertaining and reports something useful from time to time. Everyday Feminism is just hateful, worthless rubbish.
 
Black Girl Dangerous is arguably worse at times. First of all, they're less subtle about their dislike of white people.

I at least understand black people hating white people or white people hating black people. They're shit people more or less but their motives are at least comprehensible. They think they're protecting their interests against someone who intends to harm them, and sometimes they even are. These white people hysterically screaming how much they hate white people while being the color of Elmer's Glue are a fucking mystery though. If they hate white people so much they should just kill themselves.
 
I remember this one question someone had on their Facebook of what should they do when a POC not only takes the side of what a white person says, but even defends them. The OP was scared to point things out at a marginalized person. Some of the suggestions were for fellow marginalized people to confront the naysayer and explain to them what they're doing is wrong.

The answer, clearly, is to treat them differently than you would treat a white person despite all other situational factors being the same. It's so obvious, I can't believe nobody has thought of it before.
 
Now here's a little something on "proper" representation. With my own feelings with some of them...

Example 2: So never kill off a gay character? Then again, young kids aren't always the best at telling the difference between fantasy and reality.
Example 4: Stick your fingers in your ears when it comes to the dangers of being really fat. While, yes, there can be doctors who might miss the point, but it's not like dying your hair, there are consequences if you're a 100lbs overweight.
Example 6: I'm sorry, but at a serious job you have to be professional. You can't just wear whatever you want or have your way all the time. Even nudists understand you can't go to work naked.
Example 7: News stories about cures of disabilities should hidden away and not congratulated in fear of insulting disabled people?
Example 8: Even if we never put autism in a negative light, there would still be situations like that.
Example 10: Sometimes going to a doctor because you have a low sex drive could be connected to a disease and if you don't go, it could lead to something worse.
 
It seems that the Amazing Atheist is covering the comic I mentioned. (I only view his videos when he's bashing that site and it's ilk.)
