I recently read redball’s excellent post on Clannad. An excerpt and critical image:

I have the distinct pleasure of reviewing a strange story of tolerance and acceptance of those with disabilities. It is set in a town with an excellent program for the multiply handicapped and follows a protagonist who is one of the less disadvantaged students. As the story progresses we are shown the humanity of these children and we learn that the golden rule still applies – even to the handicapped… I am, of course, reviewing the 2007 – 2008 Key series, Clannad.

The article is an excellent setup, go read it. But I was disappointed that redball never got to the punchline I had been eagerly anticipating since reading the title! I’ll help him out:

Two visual novels explore themes of overcoming disabilities and can change a 14-year old boy’s life forever: Clannad and Katawa Shoujo. One is a misogynistic fantasy about a sex-starved boy knocking up defenseless disabled girls at a school for those with special needs. The other is an eroge.
