One thing I like doing in my writing is adding people with disabilities. Especially people who can’t see and showing that they can do a lot of things that other people can in a different way. I don’t feel like it’s expressed very well in media and a lot of people don’t know much about it. I like it when people try to add things like that into their story because it feels nice to know that people are thinking about things and trying them out though sometimes it can get a bit frustrating with hose some people pertray people with disabilities. Or even just badly characterize someone. In a story I read once which was a fanfiction story based on a show I watched someone got on my nerves bout that. There is a character in the show who has white hair (though since this is anime and the main character has hair that’s three colours I wouldn’t really say anything about a white haired character).. His eye colour is different, but that’s besides the point. The person said he was albino which would be fine if they knew anything about albino people. At the time I had a few friends who were albino so I wouldn’t have called myself an expert, but I knew a little bit about them. Given the character had dark brown eyes and no issue going out in the sun or seeing it was just an animation choice to give him white hair. I brought it up with the author who said that they just used it as a way to describe the character which got me more upset than I already was. I decided not to push the issue any further, but it was frustrating. It was only one time and there are plenty of times where I’ve seen characters with disabilities done really well and it always makes me happy to see people take the time to look up or ask someone about how to do a character with a disability instead of just doing it. I don’t want to sound negative about things, but that’s just something that stuck with me. I’ve seen one story where a character (ironically and albino) was in the story and it turned out really well and I loved the story as a whole. In my own writing though I like to have visually impaired or blind characters to show that we can be as strong as anyone else. In my novel I’m working on one of my main characters is blind and I love her to death!
