Re: Do the sighted have a good representation and perception of us?
@Fox:
Entertainment, escapism, superheroes. Does that ring a bel? Daredevil was never, ever, EVER meant to be realistic, he's a superhero that can do amazing things. Se my previous post on why that won't change.
Actually, I was hanging out on a game and I had the same discussion on there on a channel. The consensus we reached was...
1. The writers/editors have their way of doing the character.
2. The editors have so much power that if they don't want things to change, nothing will change. There was one in particular, I forget who, who got a writer fired for a tiny, trivial offense.
3. Management wants $$$ and wants the most profit.
4. The blind are a tiny, tiny minority compared to the fanbase as a whole.
5. Again, $$$ rules all.
Also FWIW there were people in that discussion who know the comic industry and big publishers fairly well, and industry news and dirty secrets.
@8: Being way too quick to jump on the litigation bandwagon, for one thing. For fostering a stereotype of blind people in the US as either 'us' or 'them', or NFB and non NFB, or a laundry list of issues I've experienced in my time in the US
