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

I almost want some of these just for the laughs, but I don't want to reward the behavior. Maybe if I found a chaos warrior-enough sculpt, because the idea of a
guy who is too pissed off to bother getting bionic legs when he could be KILL MAIM BURN ing instead would make about as much sense as anything else in Warhammers. And if the wheels were circular saws that would be even more thematic. I wouldn't be surprised at all if a conversion like that appeared in White Dwarf during 40k's 3rd edition era.

Oh yeah now I remember I think seeing those figs at a hobby store, and of course nobody was buying them lmao.

This one looks kick-butt, probably because it's more like a mount from an MMO than a wheelchair, and obviously a casting class anyway. And because it looks like an awesome villain rather than some theyby's self-insert.

Yeah, "I have a flying / floating / walking throne" is super fricking cool and fits in fantasy where floating discs and baga yaga houses exist.
A warrior manually having to push his wheelchair wheels around though.... not so much.

Also if you have an magical floating throne with an underslung death ray, it's because you either built it yourself or rightfully stole it, either of which is an achievement you earned.

Yes! That one is so much better. A fricking creepy-crawly throne is way better and makes more sense for a cripple who happens to be an evil warlord. lol

Also the reach of a dwarf in a seated position would be pitiful.

You can't even lean forward to thrust or you'd fall out of your chair, and your turning speed would be abysmal. Literall anybody could just circle you and smash your head in from behind.

Yeah as far as I can tell my only power is I can cruise really fast on a shallow slope with no effort.
I miss being like in Drunken Master the style of the drunken cripple with a strong right leg. I have to take care of my weak leg now which I'm probably pretty sure will never actually work again.

I assumed those were warhammaer death seeker dwarves who were crippled by a previous attempt to die gloriously in battle but survived. Now they're trying again.
