>She should be a disability icon, not a feminist one.
Disabled people are the most oppressed group, and the only objectively oppressed one across the world, they have collectively experienced the most abuse from society, the medical industry and even their caretakers and those closest to them, and are the only group of people with objective and physical troubles that surpass societal treatment, and yet they always get shafted even when it comes to the matters of equality, presumably because they're hard to wrangle
They don't have a collectivist identity, they're not a part of a racial culture or have a single personality trait that can be appealed to, those with physical disabilities are hard to fake and those with mental ones are either too "scary" as they are difficult to control and mindwash, or inversely, too low functioning to make for good social soldiers, and overall they're not aesthetic enough...
Recently there's been an attempt to claim and co opt the higher functioning, easier to fake mental disorders, like ADHD or autism, by people who don't have them in order to make themselves feel better about the years of abuse they levied towards them, but those people are still frightened by an actual case, that's why they so desperately want to cement themselves as the true and honest cases, and everyone who doesn't tow the line 'doesn't count'
You're not gonna get some undesirable autistic 40 year old man who only cares about trains and in-depth analysis of a single abstract movie from the 80's to start watching his mouth and worrying about his social credit score, so you need to label him a weirdo who isn't truly autistic and replace him with a quirky cute teenage girl who will do all that and serve as the real face of oppression, then occasionally flap her arms to show how truly autistic she is only when someone is watching her of course
