Fan Casting Bullying the Disabled

Role added by matiasramonsanchez on February 27, 2023

Make Suggestion

Description of Bullying the Disabled:

An easy way to make a character loathsome is to have them ostracize or tease someone with a (usually physical) disability. Most bullies wouldn't mock someone for having a disability — it's seen as too mean to mock someone who is "helpless" or someone who has an issue they have no control over — so only the most cruel characters do. Usually only younger characters act this way, however adults and even parents are also known to. This is also a lesser-known part of fascist rhetoric in real life. In addition to the better-known racism, antisemitism, homophobia, and more, they also consider disabled people to be parasitic drains on society.
