I hope everyone understands that I am not trying to speak for everyone in wheelchairs. I can only speak for myself, when I say I found them fun in Home, and am glad to see them. I don’t want to stop those that feel a desire to defend or protect those in wheelchairs either, some need it. For some people “disablity” is as touchy a subject as are race, religion and politics. Home holds no exception to this rule.
I just hoped from what I knew about Homes developers, whichever of them took on the subject it would have the Home twist and be okay. I was right!

Those who’re not in a wheelchair probably get more uptight about these things than those who have to live with it daily. I once stumbled on a comedy show with an entirely disabled cast, some of the humour I found very close to the bone, and had to remind myself this wasn’t just people takin’ the mickey. Even at that, some of it still felt pretty un-P.C.

I guess it comes down to attitude, and I’m reminded of saying; If you don’t laugh, you cry.

Home is about self expression though, and this (to me) is just another form of that -- unless it’s used in a derogatory way, which many things are bent to do in Home by its less savoury population. Who, thankfully, seem to be the minority.

Brave article Phoenix.
