    t’s just to show they are being inclusive.

    Edit: let me simplify this a little because I know I write long sentences.

    It seems like “just to show they are being inclusive” might mean you think they dont actually care about disabled people, but just want to score leftist brownie points.

    If you do think that, my question is: what makes you think that way?

    Maybe it is because there are many examples of people in conservative circles who say things they don’t really believe, just to score right wing brownie points.

    My examples are as follows: I have observed with my own eyes people behaving one way in church, nodding piously at the sermon on the mount, but out of the church doors and in the Denny’s acting like the worst bunch of Goddamned Karens you ever laid eyes on.

    It’s not just limited to church people. How often do we hear from the right about law and order? About being tough on crime? People who talk in these terms don’t mean it. These are hollow platitudes and pure pretence. If they were sincere, why would they would vote for someone with 91 felony charges in 4 states?

    So my possible explanation for why you would think media representation is empty posturing is because you see so much of it in conservative discourse, it is normalized and you assume leftists are doing it too.

      One possible explanation: Perhaps it is that conservatives are so used to feigning moral positions they don’t actually hold

      lol. Yes because the movie and tv industry is dominated by conservatives. Thank you for the laugh.

        Aw man, I feel like you would say something different if you had better reading comprehension skills.

          I tried to ready through it but the base premise was no weird I couldn’t stop laughing. You think media is controlled by conservatives. Yeah.

          As a disabled person your thesis is not only insulting but shows a lack of understanding for what we go through. I don’t need you speaking on my behalf. Unless you are a disabled person, don’t assume.

            No I don’t think media is controlled by conservatives. You completely misunderstand what I wrote. But you’re doing DARVO again so hey, that’s fun.

              No, I read what you said. You tried to blame conservatives for the lack of media representation of disabled people and then went on some strange rant about conservatives.

              As a disabled veteran, I find your analysis incorrect but also insulting to disabled people.

                I apologize if that’s how it came off. That’s absolutely not at all what I intended to say. I will try to be more clear in the future. Maybe in the meantime you can find someone with an above 3rd grade reading level to help you understand hard sentences.

                  You clearly went on a rant about conservatives rather than having a discussion. Conservatives have nothing to do with the media and disability representation.

                  Maybe you should learn to write more clearly.
