People love to support a character with a disability until they have to SEE it for real.

Performative BookTok girlies are all about representation until they get a taste of what it actually looks like in execution 😒

So according to them, Violet is perfect EDS rep and disabled people are not allowed to complain but also an actual person with EDS cannot play her because it would require things people with EDS can't do? ... solid logic there

They’re comparing real people to those awful AI renderings I’m sure

Telling her she's not pretty enough AND too disabled to play a disabled main character is absolutely disgusting.

Deanna 📚✨ :
overly sick of this book but the irony is, they’re using the same discouraging and critical language that they hate Dain for. like they’re echoing him damn near bar for bar in the way he constantly brings down Violet in the book. the jokes really write themselves 😭

As someone with EDS, I’ll just touch on the comment about her capabilities to do stunts…. We’re capable enough to square up. 😌

im convinced that adaptation is gonna fail because of their own fans. a good amount of them have gotten so used to those horrid ai images of those characters, they won’t be pleased with any real actors they choose.

sam dobson— actor :
I’ve seen comments from fans saying they hope they “tone down” Violet’s disability for the show bc it’s unrealistic. I am an actor, I have hEDS, these “fans” are out of hand. There is no story without authentic representation of Violet’s disability

The craziest part is that if their favorite character (Violet) was a real person, they’d also treat her like this…just let that sink in

chase🦇 :
i think the issue here is not that people with hEDS aren’t capable, but more so fourth wing is a crap book and the bad writing makes translating to film even more difficult than usual 😭

gonna be honest, she shouldn't represent Violet because Violet has EDS in the way that people say Targs in GoT have albinism.

Those comments are vile. There were so many things that they could've said and they chose violence for no reason.

Why can't people just NOT comment? It used to be a thing for trolls to flame comment sections, but this is just people with no social skills or empathy? Ughhh.

Still trying to get over the fact Fourth Wing fans are that serious

I’ve only read the first book but I never realized Violet was meant to have EDS. Kinda weird people wouldn’t want someone with EDS to play her

I love reading the books but I don't associate myself with the fandom. If she wants to audition, she should go for it!
