CW: chronic pain and suicide.
"[...]her focus on the chronic pain shows that she’s more concerned about stopping her pain than she is with preventing her own death."
So, I have some bad news to tell the writer of this article about chronic pain.

Sorry, it's not about chronic pain totally, but disabilities in movies. I'm have brain fog right now because MY CHRONIC PAIN CONDITION THAT I'M APPARENTLY SUPPOSED TO NOT DISLIKE is causing brain fog.
Obviously, one should not make a villain disabled as shorthand for evil. But guess what? Sometimes disabled people actually don't like being disabled. And would do anything to escape a painful condition. It's why chronic pain sufferers have such a high rate of suicide.
LOOK. There is a right way to portray a villain with a disability and a wrong way, not all disabled people feel the same way about their disability, and not all disabilities are the same. A blanket "they can't feel this way because" can jump off a log.
