Russ and his believing he's an inspiration to people is fucking hilarious. He's not just wanting to inspire those with moebius but all disabled people everywhere!
Before he turned out to be all murdery, Oscar Pistorius was inspiring. He'd got no legs but kept winning running races. Susan Boyle, as awful as I find her stuff was an inspiration to middle aged, frumpy, ugly people everywhere. Stephen Hawking, for obvious reasons.
Oscar Pistorius juggling, Susan Boyle buying cat food, Stephen Hawking touching up his nurse, those are not inspiring things.
Russ winning AGT by humming shit pop songs, that would be inspiring.
Is it not more true to say that he has a deformity rather than a disability? I mean, sure it causes issues and difficulties, as deformities are going to do, but something makes me consider him as not disabled. He works, he's not in pain, he doesn't have constant doctor visits, there's no huge physical impact on his day to day life, he's not full of medication, he's not going to get better or get worse etc etc.
There could be an argument for mental disability as secondary to the deformity, which would be completely understandable but Russ would never admit if that's the case anyway.
In short, his whole personality, that he's constructed of the inspirational disabled guy, is all nothing, none of it exists. That's his smoke screen to the bigger issues that nobody can see. Except maybe the court appointed psych evaluator who I'm never going to stop talking and thinking about.
