To think that Rock's helmet somehow predates Genji, yet look like him at the same time. I swear, some coincidences just freak me out.

Anyways, about Razz's character. I'm going to let you in on a little secret, since I really don't give too much of a shit and I don't expect you to. I have a little bit of autism inside me. A mental disorder, but a disorder nonetheless. To even the playing field, I use special benefits on tests and exams and I take terrible-tasting pills just to keep focused. My family's worried that the future is bleak where if anyone in the job market finds out who I am, but I just find it silly. Not only do I live in one of the most tolerant and diverse cities on the planet, but I believe I live in a time and age where people are more likely to kowtow to me because of my disability, not in spite of it. I just don't tell people this during the interview so that people hire me in the first place without needing to worry about potential controversy.

Now, the question that has to be posed is, "what is the purpose of artificial limbs?" Wouldn't making everything seem normal physically, if not improve physical capability, means that these artificial limbs are actually doing their job? I'm surprised Remnant haven't explored Deus Ex transhumanism yet. As for the Yang comparison, it shouldn't be the physical arm people are angry about, it's the PTSD. That was what I focused on, and yet, it just magically vanishes for some reason during Volume 4. This sends mixed messages.

I'm a little on the fence with what you aim to do with Razz. See, I understand what you try to do, but I'm getting a feeling that screams, "Razz is really special because she's disabled, and it won't get her back to normal as close as she possibly can." I mean, making a character for highlighting how disabled she is doesn't sit well with me. It's like the article where a bunch of SJWs oppose hearing aids that restores a deaf baby's full hearing because then he won't be "special because he's disabled".

I guess we should be asking, "shouldn't we make our disabled characters strive to be as normal as possible, instead of highlighting how disabled they are?" And maybe focusing on a state of mind for the most intriguing personal struggles, given the technological advancement of Remnant?
