dealing with ableism in gaming
I'm on the autism spectrum and i recently had it directly introduced to me that 'bonkers' is ableist as a word. i'm also a kirby fan, which is a series that actively has a character named Bonkers (wields a hammer, 'hammer bonk' but also the original meaning.)
so i'm sort of asking because of this, how do you deal with ableism in video games you play, if you've encountered a similar situation? i'm trying to figure out how i'd deal with it myself.
