I mean I don’t know how I feel about shooting a lethal weapon at someone in a wheelchair. It’s kinda like how we never got Efi as a hero because she’s a kid
But not everyone can afford to replace their limbs, plus you must think of someone who doesn’t want to become a cyborg and insert metal in their bodies.
In the OW universe, prosthetic are very common and likely not expensive so most people who would need a wheel chair nowadays would have some prosthetic to help them walk. Tbh though, this post just seems like you’re looking for an argument, so maybe its better i dont think much into it lol.

Than I guess such person would not be accepted by Overwatch/Talon/Blackwatch, cause they need people with some martial arts or special powers. You can say it´s not fair, but it´s how it is. You can´t fight in war paralised, unless you compensate for your missing body parts somehow or you have some superpowers that make you equaly strong.
Uh, junkrat is a thief, pretty sure thieves arent generally loaded with cash. Ball made his mech out of scrap, so the tech is cheap. It’s not poor shaming when things are cheap.

That’s… not how either of those terms work.
I do not begrudge any genuine wheelchair user asking for a hero who uses a sci-fi wheelchair to be added. I think that could be cool, and it’s not like it will have any negative effect on the game.
But there are heroes with missing limbs/eyes, which means there are heroes with disabilities (just not a wheelchair). Assuming you are posting in good faith, your opening post inclines me to believe you don’t have a lot of experience or research/understanding on this topic, or on what people with disabilities are referring to when they talk about ableism.
this has to be a troll
He is mocking my thread about black women in ow.
He just copied it.

Never mind that accusing everyone else of being ableist while narrowly defining “disabled” as “in a wheelchair” is, itself, ableist.
The only winning move is not to play.

lmao my guy tried to make fun of lgbtq+ but then forgot that Torb and Cree are both disabled im crying
imagine being so unloved you go this low but the low u go to isn’t even correct by ur own standards
You can turn a wheelchair into a flying tank with lasers, rockets etc. It can be better than everyone else’s abilities.
Then as I said a person might dislike having metal in their bodies so they prefer a wheelchair instead.
Just have some imagination. Some cool science or military team could donate a high-tech wheelchair to disabled person.
I’m too good at writing lore, basically doing Blizzard job here smh.
Who even are you?
Yeah yeah, keep ignoring people in a wheelchair, you ableist.
wheelchairs arent the only disability

And I never said that it was the only disability. I’m saying that there is no character on a wheelchair and that’s a fact. Don’t be a bigot.
There was a time where Overwatch Twitter posted a pic of a wheelchair on lijang and ppl thought they was teasing a wheelchair hero
