CoD fandom stop being ableist towards Frank Woods challenge (impossible)

Not only do I see posts from people whining about how basically “Woods is useless now” but I even saw someone draw him without his wheelchair and standing upright

If you can’t draw wheelchairs, either learn to do it or don’t draw the character at all; wheelchairs aren’t even hard to draw in the first place either, you’re just ableist and lazy

Love how notable it is that everyone’s now treating Woods like a useless burden when what happened to him wasn’t even his fault and also… that’s completely untrue because disabled people are still able to do plenty of shit (not to mention, that sentiment is as ableist as you can get because it stinks of eugenics)

Reminds me of how real life veterans are treated after not only physical injuries that result in them becoming physically disabled but also mental trauma that result in them becoming mentally disabled/ill; if you don’t view real life veterans as useless burdens, why would you view Woods as one?

#call of duty #black ops #black ops 6 #frank woods #‘it’s a fictional character’#and fiction can be based on reality #also if you’re ableist towards a fictional character #you absolutely have the ability to be ableist towards real life people #believe me i’ve seen this one person talk about alex mason being a faker #and then they were like ‘oopsie poopsie i forgot he’s actually mentally ill’#it’s literally impossible to forget that because that’s a central theme of the game #also to call him a faker is incredibly damaging because real life people are called fakers all the time!!!
