Disability representation in WoW

[Rennafgc-stormrage]

Im almost certain theres a dragon NPC in dragonflight thats in a wheelchair. My boyfriend showed him to me and i was so surprised. If he reminds me, ill attach a picture. And i had no idea drek’thar was in a wheelchair

[Pentacus-moon-guard]

technically he’s only been blind since the start, the wheelchair was added in Cataclysm because he’s phenomenally old for an orc and age finally caught up with him

I love how every single word you typed proves my point lol.

Would never happen. only select groups can be represented or its considered Racist.

OP there is ALOT of disabled representation in this game. Case and point : DK’s

[Cruelmoon-nemesis]

Seems like bait.

Anyway.

Flying in a wheelchair would be weird? Besides, there’s already a drac in a wheelchair ingame. Waking Shores.

I’m an American, and a lot of us have gotten fat on bad food and sedentary lifestyles. I want a character that can’t run and is out of breath after walking 50 yards, and has to sit down, they could give me vigor like the dragonriding, and i could wait for it to fill up to walk again. Also, all races should be able to be fat, so I can feel represented.

Also, I have bad Anxiety. Can my character have an RNG that sometimes in battle I panic and can’t fight effectively, so I can be represented?

I’m not saying this to be unkind. But I am trying to illustrate how it feels for most people when this call for representation keeps coming up, always wrapped in the pretense that it is a noble and righteous thing to aggrandize victim fetishes. You are a person, with a bunch of traits and qualities that represent you to the world. Your wheelchair does not represent you any more than my mental illness represents me.

You should look up Mechagnomes. They have prosthetics.
