with disability pride month nearing the end, i want to say something that's been bothering me that's a problem in many fandoms but my dc hyperfixation has me focused on this;
i hate rebirth making babs be batgirl again. i hate that they fixed her spine when her in new earth said she doesn't want anything like that when bruce asked. i like babs as a wheelchair user and 100% oracle.
i hate rebirth for reversing cass' progress on learning how to read, write, and speak. before rebirth, she still obviously struggled but was semi-verbal and was multilingual.
these are just two of many disabled characters whose being disabled was fucked with. not many talk about this. i'm a mobility aid user with learning disabilities and these two things have pissed me off to no end.
i want more fics of babs as oracle and a wheelchair user. i want more fics of cass and her struggles. i want some fucking representation god damn it. me saying this shouldn't be controversial, it should just be. ableism shouldn't be so easily accepted.
