Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat.

Felt like sharing it here because I’m sure more people should keep this kind of thing in mind.

    why would there be a magic character who relies on a real-world wheelchair when they presumably have magical abilities that would eliminate their disability,

    Even moreso in something like a typical medium-high magic D&D setting, where most medium size towns have at least one person around that can fix those sorts of problems for people several times a day.

    and why would that be someone’s fantasy?

    Because to some people the most important thing of all is representation of specific groups and everything else is secondary.

      This but unironically. Any TTRPG game is about the players first and foremost, a good DM can take a few minutes to work out any inconsistencies with the world building if it makes a player happy.
