Rudolph
I told C that I'd always loved Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer (particularly Hermey, who wants to be a dentist), and she scrunched up her face and said she didn't because she found the narrative problematic.I laughed.
She then explained, quite succinctly, that Santa had no use for Rudolph when he found out he had a disability (the red nose). It was only when he turned out to be useful that Santa approved of him as a reindeer. The rest of the citizenry in Santa's village felt the same way.
Upon further reflection, I realized she was right.
It was a legendary curmudgeon take and also the correct one. As such, the feature has been renamed Workers With Disabilities and the Toxic Employer.
