Saying anyone deserved this fate, no matter who it is, is assigning a morally negative value to disability and saying it can be used to punish someone, but that is the inherently ableist view that is rooted in society.

Was talking to a friend about this and what they said was that we want jimmy to go through the loss of control and pain but I added it should never be through disability. I want jimmy behind bars and for rocks to be thrown at him. I want assholes like trump and elon to lose their money and be put behind bars and watch as the world finally flourishes without them, to realise their following was a bunch of idiots and that they are worthless to this world. I don't want them to be disabled so bad they can't live and for that to be called justice because that just feeds the view of "disability is a punishment." If they ever did become disabled I would simply not hold sympathy but I wouldn't celebrate it either, I think that would only feed into the negative view surrounding disability and karma and whatnot.

It can't be case by case either because eventually that would spiral. No one should suffer disability. People still do, all types. And saying one person deserved their fate of disability just spirals into someone being born disabled having done something to deserve it in a past life.

Disability is very tragic and the game makes that known. Not once does anyone in the game say Curly deserved it, even though they all mostly think he crashed the ship. Anya feels sympathy for his pain. She gives him the painkillers because she can't stand seeing him in so much pain. Other than jimmy Curly is still humanised by the game, he cries and screams and laughs like a person because he never stopped being one.

I got lost when making this but yeah, I just don't think anyone can deserve post crash fate. It's ableism if you think so, and it's also dangerous.
