And third, itвЂ™s an attempt to make Katawa Shoujo screenreader-accessible. Several people in the thread said itвЂ™s made them feel more comfortable with themselves and maybe help them become better people, and I hope they can do the same here. With their permission, IвЂ™ll be uploading those stories here inappropriately themed chapters (with their names redacted for privacy). I immediately got a massive outpouring of personal stories and updates on things I never even thought to think about before, ranging from an autistic parapro with a lot to say about teachersвЂ™ behavior to a biologist who worked on growing prosthetic hearts to someone who taught at a real-life equivalent of Yamanaku to dozens of people sharing their experiences with neurodiversity, heart conditions, or varieties of diabetes, and more. This thing started life in this thread, well before I decided to share it with AO3, the land of my birth. My hope is that you walk out the other end of this with your horizons broadened and your appreciation of KSвЂ™s characters deepened, however you came in. And at the end of each route, I methodically go back through it, analyzing its themes and writing decisions and exploring just what it has to say on all kinds of levels.

This whole thing will be thoroughly annotated, ranging from notes on mechanics to explanations of immediately relevant parts of the disabled experience that donвЂ™t pop out if youвЂ™re unfamiliar with them (for instance, NurseвЂ™s constant HIPAA violations in EmiвЂ™s route), plus short essays every several updates on everything from the euphemism treadmill to how prosthetic legs work to the nature of the social construction of disability. So when I say KS is an excellentВ example of disability representation, possibly one of the best ever made, I have both the motive and means to prove it. I am a disabled person in the practical end of disability activism, working through misconceptions around disability and explaining how our lives really work is my literal job. вЂњBut how is that a transformative work?вЂќ Well, in three ways. At its base, itвЂ™s a gussied up version of the Katawa Shoujo script, where the text is cleaned up for easy consumption, charactersвЂ™ lines are marked by small portraits, and key passages are illustrated by the occasional screenshot.
