i can't be the only one thinking Rocket is the victim of some amount of disability erasure

So yeah. pretty much what the title says. I just feel like?? there isn't enough discussion / recognition of the fact he is missing two limbs. and this isn't just the fandom, honestly. his prosthetics just?? work perfectly?? and in ditf they just look like limbs colored in a cool pattern. i don't know if i'm just getting upset over something stupid.* and maybe we just don't have enough content about rocket. and it could be chalked up to ✨magic crystals don't question it✨ but i sorta feel like ... that's not enough? and obviously i don't want his whole character to be just about his prosthetics

i used to have a similar opinion w/ hyperlaser but the informational confirms that he is still blind with the helmet on

idk if i'm even making sense with this

* edited out a part that didn't really make sense / I think i worded badly

edit, again. i made this post at like 1 am and i feel like i worded this very poorly :| sorry i just?? kinda suck at putting my thoughts into words?? im an idiot ok
