(she-ra crew discussion, ableism)

so if i& #39;m not mistaken, the "entrapta and hordak are some of the best disabled rep" comment was not actually made by the crew, but they were reading fanmail from a disabled fan who said this? That& #39;s what I& #39;m getting from the clip I saw.
I can kind of understand where they are coming from with Entrapta, since Autistic representation in media is dominated by NT "burden" stories", while there are some issues with how she& #39;s treated by other characters on the show, she is a major step in the right direction, I feel.
I am not defending the crew, especially in areas I don& #39;t have a say on, but I just thought it was important to add context since I expected abled crewmembers to be praising themselves for their work and not a fan comment.

That being said, please don& #39;t use this thread as a way to defend the crew. The voice of the disabled fan is what is important to me here, and what I wanted to amplify since I saw the context lost.
