I think this should be taken as a case-by-case basis. If you hope a character who was disabled in a recent storyline gets cured, that doesn't seem so bad.

What I get sensitive about is when writers cure disabilities in characters and if feels like it was just done for convenient's sake.

In the early days of XMFC fandom, I remember someone prompting Charles/Erik fic on one of the kinkmemes, and qualifying it with "set it in a future where he's no longer paralyzed, because thinking of him unable to walk or have sex with Erik is too sad."

And I worry that a lot of writers might think that way, they don't want to do research about how disabled characters might still have sex, or go to the bathroom, or get around. They just want to fix it because that's simpler.
