I'm talking about these people who want to be disabled, or who like pretending they're disabled, or are attracted to people just because of their disability.
Some people like to disable themselves for a while, like wearing a blindfold, or earplugs, or binding their arm or leg in a way that they can't use it. Some people even go so far as to actually try disable themselves permanently, and this usually ends up badly because no sane/responsible/ethical doctor will just amputate your limb, or sever your spine, or some such because you ask them to. I saw part of a documentary about a woman who bought a wheelchair, she liked not using her legs and she said she was looking for a doctor who would sever the bottom of her spine so she would never be able to use her legs again. On an episode of Jerry Springer, there was this man who mutilated both of his legs to the point that a doctor was forced to amputate them. He had already sought an amputation, but the doctors said no, so he had to self-harm himself to get the amputations he wanted.
I know some of these people do it because they like feeding off other people's sympathy, but is it really worth it permanently mutilating yourself? I say hell no.
Then you have people who are attracted to disabled people, not for their personality or whatever, but for their disability. For some people it's the thrill of 'helping' the disabled person (like Munchausen's by proxy) In a healthy relationship with a disabled person, the abled person does what he or she can to help the disabled person live as independently as they can. But for a person with a 'helper' fetish, they do what they can to make sure the disabled person needs their help as much as possible. For example, placing items on a high shelf out of the reach of a wheelchair-bound person so that the disabled person HAS to ask for help.
It just befuddles me how someone can find a disability so fascinating or sexy. I mean, if a guy asked me out on a date and he was in a wheelchair or missing a limb, I'd go out with him if he asked me nicely, had a funny personality, etc. But I'm not going to obsess over his disability or find it sexy. I'd treat him like I treat any other man, except for obvious expectations (I wouldn't ask a wheelchair-bound man to come jogging with me, for example) I have my own disability, and I looked up the fetish surrounding my disability, and the comments made by people on message boards and etc just creep me the fuck out, and I find it utterly demeaning, and I know other people with various disabilities feel the same about people who fetishize their disability. it's like with ABDL's and feeder/inflation fetishists, this makes me go WTF. And like with these two things I just mentioned, there's a disturbing amount of artwork on DA of people (mostly girls) with missing limbs.
