@ Bolded - see my earlier posts addressing those points. In a nutshell, if the thread title had meant to be a serious attack on disabled kids, the thread would have been killed by now. Whether it's in bad taste or not is debatable. And just because some of us who understand kids better doesn't mean that we weren't once as ignorant as those who posted the comments you've quoted just there. Read back for context. |
It wasnt an attack on disabled kids. It was an attack on Minecraft fans, many of whom are kids and don't have the same filters that adults have. Having said that, there have been specific misdirections with regards to disabilities in comments (not outright attacks.)
Does that justify it? I am sure all of us have been corrected for our misdeeds in such circumstances. It would be ad hominem to criticize somebody for their person and not their words/actions.
