[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is a classic example of barriers being invisible to those who don’t face them. [/quote]

I understand what you're saying.

I don't know this movie/show.  Is Hathaway's character a main character, a good guy or a bad guy, redeemed or redeemable? I think it makes a difference.[/quote]

I follow this blogger who I used to know IRL, with ectrodactyl and they didn’t like that they gave the character a limb difference to make her scary - they don’t want people to be afraid of people with limb differences. That “problem” was invisible to the movie creators who have since apologized and I think we should accept the apology.  
I don’t know anymore that I think this quote applies to those who didn’t see this as an issue, had it pointed out, and then doubled down.  That’s something worse.

I don’t think it’s a huge deal to be corrected and learn from your mistakes. I used to use the R word and someone nicely told me it was offensive and I said - yikes - I didn’t realize - thanks for pointing it out and I won’t use it that way again. [/quote]

Exactly - the "eye rollers" are just digging in deeper despite being told it was offensive. No one cares if it's not offensive [I]to you.[/I] You don't have the disability that's at issue. Sit down.[/quote]
