  “I Am Not Your Plot Device”

  Posted by kevin-schaefer on January 24, 2019 at 11:00 am

  I came across this essay the other day by a writer with SMA, and it’s great: http://terribleminds.com/ramble/2016/06/02/steven-spohn-i-am-not-your-plot-device/.

  I remember when “Me Before You” came out, and I also wrote about how insulting a film it was to people with disabilities. This article points to exactly why it and so many others are misrepresentations of us. Hope you all like it.
