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.

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.
