Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat.

Felt like sharing it here because I’m sure more people should keep this kind of thing in mind.

      I am disabled. I would take a magic cure in a second, as would the vast majority of disabled people.

          I think if you do not want or need a cure, it’s not a disability. Doesn’t make sense to call it a disability then.

              What is a disability “for intrinsic reasons” or that is “intrinsically wrong”? Only disabilities that cause direct pain?

              Per definition, a disability is something that gives you a handicap for living in how the world is.

                  I don’t care. The definition of what a disability is, is clear. When all people would be deaf, would deafness be a disability? No.

                  It doesn’t matter whether you personally want to be cured or not. If someone has no legs and they like it, it’s still a disability because the person has a clear handicap in the current world. It doesn’t matter that, in a hypothetical world where heaving legs doesn’t matter, it wouldn’t be seen as a handicap.
