Fan Casting Fictional Disability

Role added by connieblackwood on January 17, 2023

Description of Fictional Disability:

This trope covers characters who have some sort of disability that doesn't exist in the real world. This trope can be used as a way to write disabled characters in settings where most real-life disabilities would be rendered uncommon as a result of magic or advanced technology, or to explore the social consequences of said magic and technology existing (although this can lead to a Space Whale Aesop; "Don't invent faster computers or people will lose the ability to eat plant matter!"). Cyberpunk and other social science fiction settings love using both variations, since including characters who can't benefit from the technology is a fascinating way of analysing its effect on society.
