She looks too young to be described as a hottie.

Yeah, I'm uncomfortable having someone who looks twelve on a hottie page.

There's a difference between "cute" and "hot". Children are cute, not hot. If you want "hot" you probably want someone in their twenties or at least looks it.

The trope shouldn't differentiate between them, or else we'd need a separate "disabled but cute" trope. In fact, I think the trope should be rewritten to replace "hot" with general attractiveness, of any kind. Lets focus less on the "hottie" part and more on the "disabled" part.

Right.

Also can we not pearl clutch over drawn characters so much? Please? Its really annoying that apparently you can only find a woman attractive if she's got D cups and a bubble ass.

It's not the body. It's the faces. That face would look twelve with D cups and a bubble ass.

It is not about cup size. It is about the overall impression. The proposed anime girls look like 14 max, because they are drawn in moe style. When someone proposes an image of a attractive woman, who is obviously older than in her teens then the size of her bra doesn't matter.

Nothing in her face says "12" to me... she has the standard cute anime face that any character between the age of 14 to 30 gets.

Now if she was in a gym outfit like [1] maybe.

Seriously we should split Disabled Cutie then if your having such an issue....

How about this? *

Yes, she has the standard cute anime face that anyone who doesn't spend all their time watching anime classifies as looking about 8-14.

[up] That doesn't look disabled so much as ugly birth mark.

I recall something from Time Magazine a few years back about a Ms. Wheelchair pageant and the winner thereof. I got out my copy of that issue, looked up the person mentioned along with Time Magazine, and found this. It is about the same subject, but it was not the same article I found in my copy of the magazine.

However, the general idea seemed like something for a page image; would a picture from such a pageant be a good idea?

It's the auto space for the commas.

The black haired girl looks more like the appropriate age, but has the aforementioned issues with looking more like a skin disease or birth mark than some one (I'm assuming is) missing an eye.

In coming RL images:

World Cup guy, I can't tell if he's supposed to be attractive or not. Scooter. Wheelchair race. Venis Di Milo (sp?). Wrestler.

I've got no idea how many of these images feature people that are supposed to be attractive, I did a search for "disabled athlete" cause athletes are normally considered attractive.

A male example would be nice, to balance the the description using female pronouns.

I really don't like the Oracle examples. It takes a while to visually differentiate a wheelchair from just a cool looking chair... with wheels.

[up][up][up][up]Should diseases be included as a disability?

This is one I'd like to see higher quality rather than so grainy.

Do burn scars count as a disability?

[up][up] They can be, but the burns that are bad enough to be truly disabling tend to take the "hottie" out of the equation.

That last pic of Oracle is alright, but I prefer the one I posted for clarity and for showing the chair more. And to be completely honest, this anti-wheelchair sentiment is getting old quick.

For a male example, does Daredevil's costume get his blindness across enough to count for this? If not, is there a good pic of Matt Murdock that we could use?

[up]Daredevil is not good. His costumes doesn't look that much more blind then most of Super Heroes costumes. You really have to be looking to even realize there is no holes for the eyes.
