I just want to make sure the game I'm playing isn't ableist. What's the full context of it?

(+6)

THE MAIN CHARACTER IS AN AMALGAMATION OF PHRASES SHES PICKED UP FROM NOT GETTING OUTSIDE ENOUGH. SHE DOESNT REALLY THINK THROUGH WHAT SHE SAYS, MUDDLING HER WAY THROUGH LIFE, TRYING TO SAY THINGS SHE THINKS PEOPLE WILL LIKE, OFTEN UNSUCCESSFUL SINCE SHE HAS LITTLE CONCEPT OF BEING RESPECTFUL TO OTHERS. SHE DOES HER BEST, BUT SHE, LIKE YOU AND ME, IS FULL OF IMPERFECTIONS. ITS HER NURTURE, SAD TO SAY. CHARACTERS IN THIS GAME ARE WRITTEN OFTEN TO BE ABRASIVE TO ONE ANOTHER, I SUSPECT IF YOU DISLIKE THAT SORT OF THING YOU WONT ENJOY IT, SORRY.

No, that's actually good. I'm not the kind of person who thinks "if a character display *any* problematic behaviour, that means the game is too". I was just trying to see if the ableism is used as comedy or, like you've said in your comment, as a reflection of her character. Abrasive, imperfect characters are good, I just wanted to make sure the game wasn't permitting or condoning ableist behaviour. When my paycheck next comes in, I'll be more than happy to buy this game!

EPIC
