also while im having my afternoon bitching moment i think a lot of analog & common horror games relies on being ableist and having the 'scary disfigured person' trope that harms actual people, even if it isn't the creators intent. if youre old enough to publish actual games youre old enough to get some perspective on how you may be hurting others—especially when it comes to horror and using disabled bodies as a visual meant to horrify people.

#i went to bed at 5 am with a spiraling mood and woke up at 9 angry and now it's noon and im just solidly annoyed and carrying a bad migraine #but im so tired of people just getting a 'well they didnt know better!!!' like okay but what are they doing to actually educate themselves #to not harm a community. to not be ableist. what are they doing to learn and actually grow.#why are people so quick to defend ableism and make us the mean disabled people. why is that your first instinct.
