Butts

When they televise Katniss and Peeta seeing each other for the first time, in the books, she runs into his arms and he stumbles. Then she finds out for the first time that he has an prosthetic leg, because the mutt wolf slashed him so badly and his tourniquet was removed when they froze him to the ladder, and he almost died.

They reference it many times in the second book, as a hinderance to his travel through the jungle underbrush. It is why he is the first to collapse when the acid fog hits, because he doesn’t have great control over it yet and he keeps stumbling. Katniss asks him to step where she steps and he gets slightly better, but he is still struggling.

It is well documented in the novels, and nowhere to be seen in the movies. It is blatant disability erasure. We get so little representation in media, and one great instance of disability representation was taken from us.
