someday i'm gonna write something about how futurama is such a rich series from a "literally all three protagonists are disabled in some way and parts of this show are such a disability power fantasy" perspective
#like fry is a canonically audhd character played by an audhd actor who has synthesesia and dexterity issues
#and has survived five heart attacks
#and whose 'brain thing' (aka his neurodivergency) is the literal key to saving the world on multiple occasions
#like god. the most important person in the universe is and always ill be this disabled guy with a good heart
#(morally i mean. like i said five heart attacks)
#and then leela is a physically disabled woman who was been defined her whole life by her facial defect
#who learns that her whole family is actually disabled (mutated) and starts fighting like HELL for them
#and whose life was turned upside down because her society was treating her and those with her birth defects like scum
#to the point her parents had to give her up and try to pass her off as an alien instead of a disabled human just to make sure she had right
#AND she has some severe anger issues and a whole boatload of mental illnesses
#and some incredibly clear trauma from the ableism she's faced
#but she's still incredibly loved and desired and competent!
#and then there's bender who has a whole section of his wiki dedicated to the bugs and glitches he has
#who was born without a backup drive which to robots is absolutely a disability
#who has a faulty inhibition chip
#also he unusual empathy emotions and thought processes from both a human and robot perspective
#like he doesn't experience empathy in the same way humans do but he also has free will unlike literally every other robot
#and has moments where he's clearly feeling things in a way a lot of other robots in the series don't
#(sometimes played for laughs like the 'as a robot i don't have emotions and that makes me very sad' line)
#but also often taken seriously
#not to mention the whole point of lethal inspection where bender finds out he has a factory defect
#and wants to find and yell at the guy who approved him even though he was mortal-- a defect by robot standards
