Hollywood Ableism: Person + Disability = Villain (Kids Crew Neck T-shirt Comic Pattern)

So often Hollywood has disability as the origin story for the villains. Having a disability does not make someone into a villain, that is a negative stereotype that needs to stop being perpetuated by movies. 

Lindsey Row-Heyveld notes, for instance, "that villainous pirates are scraggly, wizened, and inevitably kitted out with a peg leg, eye patch, or hook hand whereas heroic pirates look like Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow."^[30] The disability of the villain is meant to separate them from the average viewer and dehumanize the antagonist. As a result, stigma forms surrounding the disability and the individuals that live with it."
