Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat.
Felt like sharing it here because I’m sure more people should keep this kind of thing in mind.

I feel like a lot of the time the best way to handle it would be similar to how the character of Toph is presented in the show Avatar: The Last Airbender. She’s blind, but has incredibly good seismic sense through her feet. So most of the time, she can “see” just fine. However, it’s still a disability, and there are times where it comes up.
If her feet are injured she can’t use them to see. If she’s on sand her “vision” will be very blurry and imprecise. If she’s flying she becomes completely blind. And she can’t read anything written on paper.
The disability is a part of her identity, and it absolutely still matters. But it’s not so heavily crippling that it’s coming up all the time at the table.
