The contempt for people with disabled people in this community really concerns me

meanwhile there's been 2 threads on the front page of the FFXIV subreddit just this week about a guy playing the game via implants in his brain. as in; literally no hands. because he was paralyzed in a car accident.

on the front page... lotta contempt for the disabled there?

This isn’t Reddit, my post was not in response to stuff I’ve seen on Reddit but a response to comments I’ve seen on here from several people. There have been posts here from people sharing a video of a guy playing the game with his feet, not so much to say “hey this guy is awesome!” But to shame people with different disabilities saying they are bad if they aren’t at the same level of play that guys is.

1) it's all the same "community" if anything reddit is a more honest reflection since things can be up and downvoted, as opposed to the front page just being "the things that got bumped most recently."

2) the guy playing with his feet is another great example. it's NOT contempt for the disabled, it's contempt for poor play. regardless of WHY.
