Yeah it is ableist, it's hard to imagine a game making fun of any other illness or disorder these days.


Thank you, I think that's a good way of framing it and you're quite right.

Though you've also sparked an idea in me. I think a game focused sympathetically on an issue could do well to help in people's empathy. The vision that came to me was a Wheelchair Simulator where one would have to play to overcome the actual access restrictions wheelchair users face every day.
