realizing that I hate the "all furries are brilliant super ultra professionals" because it's basically the "all disabled people heroically overcome spectacular obstacles" trope - which is its own iteration of bad, and which I tend to miss under "oh great someone's expecting me to be a smart success for them/has just implied or told me I don't belong in the GOOD people."

@Leucrotta
And here I am single-handedly disproving the whole "ultra super professional" bit. Ain't a goddamn thing professional about my ass.

@Leucrotta I feel that every time the "all furries are rich" stereotype rolls around, and *explicitly* speaking as a disabled person you're spot-on with the trope comparison.
