disabled princesses and disabled superheroes are so important where the fuck are they

This is Toph. She is not disabled. She is awesome. Try again.

That is Toph. She IS disabled. She is also awesome. The two are not mutually exclusive. 

roasted

I mean…

Charles Xavier, Professor X - wheelchair-bound, paraplegic/chronic pain from leg injuries (in some comics arcs, he can walk; it’s just excruciating for him)

Matt Murdock, Daredevil - blind

Tony Stark, Iron Man - did you miss the heart condition? Also spent some time paraplegic in comics

Doctor Strange - nerve damage in his hands

Deadpool - cancer, chronic pain

Bucky Barnes, Winter Soldier - lost an arm, replaced with cybernetics

Nick Fury - lost an eye

Colonel James Rhodes, War Machine - paraplegic in movies; in comics, suffers extensive injuries requiring extensive cybernetics

That’s all stuff you can see in the movies.  And then in comics:

Barbara Gordon, Oracle - wheelchair-bound, paraplegic

Clint Barton, Hawkeye - hearing loss, in at least some comic arcs

Hank Pym - bipolar disorder 

Victor Stone, Cyborg - multiple injuries requiring extensive cybernetics, dysphoria from same

Dr. Midnite - blind

Cassandra Cain, Batgirl/Black Bat - was mute when introduced, still struggles with verbal communication in some comic arcs

Echo - deaf

Misty Knight - lost an arm, replaced with cybernetics

Puck - dwarfism

Thor - in comics, when he’s Donald Blake, he requires a cane to get around

Moon Knight - dissociative identity disorder

And that’s just ones I can think of who’ve had their own titles or are on big-name teams with titles.

There’s at least one Batman arc that deals with his struggle with PTSD.

dont forget spidermans PTSD in the early 2000s spiderman films.
