Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat.

Felt like sharing it here because I’m sure more people should keep this kind of thing in mind.

    I’m not sure the commenter disagrees with you. If a player wants their character to have a wheelchair, they are simply “saying” that some people have wheel chairs.

    I had to go look up diegetic essential ism and basically the idea is that people get too hung up on the literalness of a character in a wheelchair.

    What does it say about the universe that elephants can jump ten feet vertically? What does it say about the DM if they rule against this “fact” of DND?
