Reply to comment by ChosenSCIM in Barbie maker celebrates ‘power of representation’ with scoliosis doll by wol_75

And you don't think it's OK to complain about having your disability exploited for money?

This is what equality looks like. People who use braces are represented in dolls now. It's a small thing that barely matters, but this is a push on the right direction.

I don't want to be treated like some kind of other group. Having a brace for scoliosis is not something that should be shunned or put on a pedestal.

I want corporations to treat me like everyone else. As a wallet for them to exploit.

The person who wrote the original comment sounds like they want pity for their condition. Pity is for losers. I don't let any of my disabilities define me and I despise people like that.

So now no one gets to complain about being exploited for money? This is a good thing?

This particular and exact situation is a good thing. If you want to twist my words and make it sound stupid, then go ahead. My point is that no grown adult should be getting their panties in a twist over a doll with a brace.
