Lost my temper a bit after engaging in pointless discussion about combat wheel-chairs. Got called ableist a couple times, that was cool.

Greetings!
You did well, Trinculoidead!
Honestly, though, if you encounter someone where including a wheelchair-bound character in a adventuring group in a fantasy D&D game--is actually considered a debate--just ignore them or exclude them entirely. They are obviously deranged, mentally-ill morons. Wheelchair-bound disabled characters are utterly unsuitable to be adventurers. They are helpless, crippled fucks that would be easily slaughtered by enemies or eaten by monsters--and furthermore, their crippling disabilities also endangers other members of the team. Other members of the team need to devote extra effort, attention, and resources into picking up the slack for the wheelchair-bound jackass who can't do their job and carry their weight as a fully-functional, independent member of the adventuring team. The adventuring team must be composed of highly-skilled, competent, fully-independent and functioning members. Cripples, the disabled, weaklings, incompetent losers, and other dysfunctional morons need not apply. Such people need to stay home, safe on the farm, or in whatever place that caters to the "special needs" community--not out in the dangerous world pursuing delusions that they are as capable and functional as a normal person.
The deeper truth is at the end of the day, adventurers may begin relatively "normal" or "average"--but they need to be fully functional and capable, and in many cases must perform at an extraordinary level of competence in order to overcome the many dangerous obstacles and challenges faced on an adventuring career.
Such careers are simply not suitable for disabled people where many normal physical activities are themselves an extraordinary challenge or impossible. The moron activists that push for this nonsense being included in the game are mentally-ill jackasses. Their entire argument is absurd, and emotional circle-jerking.
