I'm disabled with mobility issues (but not a wheelchair), and as much as I love Oracle for giving me a voice, I wouldn't feel comfortable cosplaying her. There's a big difference between visible paralysis and the 'invisible' health problems I suffer from.

Thank you for ringing in.



It’s complicated stuff, I don’t feel remotely qualified to even offer much of an opinion.



On the one hand, cosplay is fantasy and I feel like these characters belong to everyone. On the other, there’s such history of pwd people being played by non-pwd actors.



I appreciate everyone chiming in.
