Re: Do the sighted have a good representation and perception of us?
@Nocturnus: Well put. Though that goes for both sides, to. If you got sight and you come off as a lazy SOB.....that's not gonna change.
@Dark: Rant incoming....
Daredevil is fiction. Entertainment, made by companies who have far, far more sighted people consuming comics, videogames, uunderwear, whatever else Daredevil is licensed in, than blind people. THey don't want to tone Daredevil down because to them it isn't broken. And....read up on how much money Daredevil brings in. If you had a property that made that much money, would you want to alter it and risk losing millions of dollars in licensing deals, merchandise, all because a few people online are bitching about how a superhero isn't a good representation of your disabiltiy....when there's 99.9% f your fanbase are able bodied and consume the media as pure fantasy and an escape, which it is meant as? I wouldn't want to alter a cash cow for fear of pushing away a chunk of that audience and losing money. I get both sides of the argument, but until Daredevil stops bringing in millions and millions, nothing will change. Blind people will just be the whiners complaining on a tiny corner of the internet to the comic/movie/videogame/TV industry about one character. Because the fanbase is wayyyyyyyy biggr than a few random people.
