@koven-moonshadow - The post you reblogged is rather old but I felt the need to clarify how Gascoigne and Amelia are indeed disabled. At the point in which we find them in the game, both have their eyes hidden. Gascoigne has bandages wrapped over his eyes and it looks to appear that there is blood ( dried ) beneath. Indicating that he is blind and is using hearing to seek you out. This is similar for Amelia's deterioration from the blood as she also has a veil on her eyes when she turns into a beast ( gascoigne's bandages seem to remain hence why many gather that she too has it before ). There is also a bit hinting that the woman in the Nightmare we meet is Amelia ( she has the same voice actress, she is doing the exact same prayer that Amelia does before her boss fight, she kneels like her in a very similar place aka in front of Laurence's skull. Guarding it ). And her eyes in this version do not have pupils; hinting that she is blind.
Blindness is indeed a form of being disabled/handicap. I've never been able to gather how people forget that factor. Though I can see where one would argue that they perhaps aren't blind; I do think they both are. As do many in the fandom/comm. The lore hints that the blood takes a lot from those who partake in it, we see from the trailer that the townsfolks' eyes are beginning to worsen. Which damage to your eyes is easy to lead to blindness if left unchecked. Basically - in short - they are both viewed as disabled as well because they are blind.
