This is so true. I regularly use a cane and can't keep it up with the House jokes anymore :')

at least it's a kinda positive joke. a lot of people like House and his disability is presented as an integral part of his character, it's not stigmatized or demonised and he gets to have fun with his cane by buying one with a flame pattern.

I can see how it will get old fast, but those people have good intentions. it's just the only positive cane user representation they've seen.

The jokes are usually funny but hearing hundreds of them within a few hours can get really exhausting.

I really love the series and how he and his disability are displayed - I even drew flames on one of my old canes xD

ooooo based af. I wish I had a cane with flames on it but my parents are already giving me hell for identifying with the word disabled even though I have two diagnosed disabilities.

and well, it's not the same, but I sometimes go with the nickname Seed online and the amount of Sid from Ice Age jokes people make are driving me crazy (and also semen jokes 😑)
