Notable features

  • "Fetirist/Retifist" — Portmanteau Neologism, Direct Disability Disclosure — A blended coinage (foot fetish + retifism, a real clinical term) opens a piece whose footnoted first line is a flat disclosure: "I am[1] disabled." The corruption/neologism apparatus and a genuine biographical admission arrive in the same breath — treat as pattern-level (a real disclosure, not a joke) rather than folding it into the comedic-corruption entries elsewhere in this file.

Archetype lens

The text explicitly attacks archetypal flattening: a conventional wheelchair image compresses diverse mobility into passivity, decay and invisibility. This is a key guardrail for the entire Archetypes & Roles atlas.
