This video definitely isn't 1:1 with my own opinion (IRIS IS FINE) but I'm screaming that SOMEONE... IS FINALLY... FUCKIN TALKING ABOUT THIS

honestly somnium in general has some issues with ableism

glances hatefully at saito sejima

but this is interesting, i'd never really thought of it.

I will say that AI is literally the only media I have ever seen where a character (Iris) has severe, even reckless delusions but is still genuinely harmless and good and other characters are more violent
But the other characters are Saito lol...

Uchikoshi did also say he tried to include a positive depiction because of his good friend in high school who was a wheelchair user. And at least as far as I can tell, the depiction of Kizuna seemed pretty accurate in terms of posture etc

Me personally I don't really have an issue with Kizuna leaving dancing behind but I did think the positive stories that the vidder shared were really interesting

I wish they talked more about the rest of her storyline lol WHERE IS BIG SIS
