dnd heroes drama has resurfaced once again
So you agree? The only reason abled people want disabled people to be cured ASAP is because they're "a liability", pretty much treating people like tools who need to prove their worthiness to exist by providing? https://t.co/5UyWdqETgA pic.twitter.com/UvMI7O8nSZ

Once thought a meme, now an actual talking point for leftoids (I even seen one unironically post making a wheelchair dnd thing on heroesforge).
It's that thing once again, leftoids are trying to push a certain thing in a fantasy hobby that fits their political worldview of idealism that usually makes no sense and requires even more suspension of disbelief than roleplaying in a magic land with dragons and unicorns.
WHEEL 
CHAIR ACCESSIBLE DUNGEONS
WHERE IS THE ADA ON THIS?
Anyway there is plenty of "right wing extremist" dunking on the thread, so I picked some replies/subthreads from lefties since those are more interesting to read.
They WILL pull their weight because they ARE heroes, simple as that.
Complete with PF card for said wheelchair
Some friendly fire:

Last time I read a thread on this I think the "adventureres wheelchair" I saw was something that basically couldn't be broken unless there were two crits against it, which makes you wonder why not every wagon and vehicle was made with this cheap wheelchair technology. These people can't even design something with some risk because they're so afraid of losing so they need an invulnerable wheelchair.
And why even a wheelchair? Learn to levitate or something. If you're a wheelchaired martial character just go home

Chariots?
Giant goblin mechas?
Magic carpets? (for Allah's children)
These are all non-problems that were already solved. Your inability to integrate them into your worldbuilding is a skill issue, not one of ability.

chariot sure, but good luck with stairs or hallways, they'll have to just wait outside for most dungeons
flying carpet works but is usually a pretty high level item in most systems, odds of them surviving that long without it are pretty slim and it'll frick with party balance just handing it to them at the start
big mech has the same problem with the added bit that they'll probably need to be a specific class and it might not exist in the setting
players who want this usually come down to 2 categories:
just want free op shit and think they've found a reason you have to give it to them
want "i'm disabled" to be what they have instead of a personality
either way it's not gonna be interesting, and you're gonna have to contort your world around their bullshit with absolutely no payoff.
and you'll probably hate the player who brought it up anyway for other reasons
just tell him he has to crawl or be carried for the first 10 levels and move on with your game

I would never do this in D&D because I already do it irl and I'd like some escapism.

Have you ever tried to navigate a narrow passageway on a flying carpet?. Those things corner like a cruise ship

What about a palanquin?

seems reasonable, but it probably can't fit around tight corners or deal with terrain more difficult than stairs. ladder? narrow ledge? cliff you have to scale? tough luck.
probably some complication with the bearers too, they're either going to take enemy fire or have to come out of cover and get in position before every time you need to move
at that point you're probably better off just strapping yourself to a servant, if you can get one noticeably bigger than you it should have approximately all the benefits of a palanquin with some of the drawbacks removed

You forgot the master blaster one where you take someone who's mentally disabled and have them carry around the character who's physically disabled. It actually works best because the combined sum gets you a full person.
