Here from metafandom. Ugh, I am so sorry about the bullshit you get in comments. People actually use the word 'cripple' in reviews? Of course they do, why expect anything less offensive?
One thing you might like, if you are looking for more positive betrayals of disability, is the Japanese manga Fullmetal Alchemist. There are some utterly awesome disabled characters, and while they have Tragic Backstories a bit too often, they have lives and capabilities and sexuality. Might be worth checking out.
