A new study found that significant depictions of disability in film and television shows have nearly tripled over the past decade compared to the previous 10 years. But most of those titles don't feature disabled actors. nyti.ms/3liHoMV
@nytimes And, yet, there has been little progression of acceptance in society. Don't believe me? Walk down a sidewalk in your community. How even is it? Are the dog clean up stations at wheelchair height? Look around in a restaurant. Could a wheelchair fit? Look at your co-workers.
@nytimes Yeah, I wish they had made a love story with Steven Hawking before he died. It would have been riveting.
@nytimes Cancel those actors for disability appropriation. It’s not rocket science.
@nytimes This says it all, actors without disabilities play more than 95 percent of all characters with disabilities on television. Unless this changes, US disabled are just like all the others fighting for equality.
@nytimes If there is a disabled person who can do professional voice overs for cartoons I’m not sure why they couldn’t play anyone in that cartoon. As far as real movies, TV a disabled person can only play within their disability like Marlee Matin.
@nytimes Some day Hollywood will figure out its painfully transparent woke social engineering hurts revenue.
@nytimes It's almost as if acting is the occupation of being something your not. Wow.
