Oh boy, they came up with a new term.

“Ableism”.

IOW, God forbid we don’t show wheelchairs and other handicapped people.

Which, BTW, has been happening alot for at least 10 years even on kid things.

At first I thought they accidentally were condemning what they themselves do: ENABLEISM. (Don’t think an E should be in these non-words.)

“Ableism” as a term has been around for a number of years.

Ableism (/ˈeɪbəlɪzəm/; also known as ablism, disablism (British English), anapirophobia, anapirism, and disability discrimination) is discrimination and social prejudice against people with disabilities or who are perceived to be disabled. Ableism characterizes people as defined by their disabilities and inferior to the non-disabled.[1] On this basis, people are assigned or denied certain perceived abilities, skills, or character orientations.
