    Of all the bad arguments for why disabled actors shouldn't play disabled characters, this is possibly the worst https://twitter.com/sunchick116/status/957684910986162176 …

        Unlike the related argument "ugh, it's just acting" which is problematic because it ignores the systemic level of discrimination in the industry, it at least allows for an interpretation that there's nothing wrong with disabled actors in those roles.

        To go a step further and suggest that a disabled actor in that role wouldn't be acting at all is to completely strip disabled people of individuality and personhood. It is premised on the idea that disabled people are functionally interchangeable

        You realize that literally no quadraplegic person except John Callahan is actually John Callahan so casting a quadraplegic actor is still "just pretending to be someone else"? & yet with a consistency that is absolutely systemic discrimination nondisabled actors get those roles

        The idea that people are attracted to the physicality of a cripped up performance is not a new critique. Actors are praised for the ways they contort their bodies to attempt to resemble disability

        It's also why disabled characters are so often simplistic stereotypes. The actual character isn't the source of the performance. The body is.

        This just feeds the idea that disabled people wouldn't be acting because their bodies come ready made. In reality though this allows them to actual make the character a character instead of a caricature

        Which is what we too often get when nondisabled people take those roles

        Oh wow, I guess people like me, who became disabled at birth, don't exist. But if we did, we'd all have the exact same personality. That makes perfect sense. :P

        What are you talking about? You and I have been switching places for years and no one's even noticed. We're basically clones
