Why the "Disabled Villain" Trope is So Offensive
Check out The Take's podcast to listen to our episodes on the go! https://spoti.fi/3samykB
From the earliest days of film and television, disability has been used as a metaphor for villainy. Disabled characters have been portrayed as either innately wicked, turning diabolical in their moment of disfigurement, or generally despising their condition and seeking to harm the able-bodied. The disabled villain trope denies disabled characters any real personhood, and instead turns them into devices to visually contrast with “heroic” characters.
