There is some humor in this game that pokes fun at the inability to read that has a marginalizing impact for folks with learning disabilities. As a parent of an avid 8-year-old gamer who has struggled for years to develop literacy skills and who has made progress through his desire to read the text in games, I find the humor discouraging and lacking respect for my son's experience and hard work to overcome challenges to literacy. Gamers with literacy challenges belong too. I think we can do better and can craft humor that leaves no one wondering if they're worth it. Thank you for your time and attention.

i dont think everyone in the world is a kid (with a red baseball cap, bug eyes, no mouth, no nose, and no anus.) and if you think the description litteraly meant it best experienced *blind* then all i can reply with is a facepalm.

I meant one of the mocking scenes that occurs in the bathroom if you enter the correct password without having first received it by defeating the clock. The humor there mocks Mellow not being able to read. I doubt this is an example of premeditated intentional harm; the point is that unintentional harm also hurts and has an impact. Once aware of it, there's an opportunity to do something different.

"you werent supposed to know that" was not because he cant read, but because you are not supposed to know at that point of the game

There's nothing there that mocks Mellow's inability to read. The bathroom creature is punishing the player for having looked up the password on their device and talking about how it defeats the purpose of the game to look up the answers to puzzles. Also, the scene in question doesn't have anything to do with reading, seeing as Wall bank gives you the password verbally. So I really don't understand why you're upset.

Hello.


I really wanted to apologize for making my now deleted reply very mean and rude.


My points weren't making sense at all and due to anger I didn't think rationally.

That was very immature of me to do.

You don't really understand what it's saying and you're just putting your own ideas on it, do you
