Before we start on this, I am going to go over some things. Please let me know if I put this in the wrong area, I'm somewhat new to Posts.

1.) I am not saying Lioden is a terrible game. I love Lioden! It's my favorite Pet sim game. But, I am allowed to criticize it. I'm not accusing anyone of being ableist or a bad person, just my critique on how mutations are handled.

2.) I am disabled so please don't ask! A lot of people ask this when any person brings up that something is ableist. They immediately think "if you're not disabled you shouldn't be speaking", completely dismissing that the topic is ableist.

3.)If I sound passive agressive, I apologize. I'm just a bit frustrated with this and have been for awhile.

4.) Just because it doesn't apply to you, doesn't mean it doesn't matter or isn't impactful. I'm also not demanding things to be change. But, I am criticizing it.

Something I've noticed with mutations on here is how they're treated. Mutations are very cool and I love breeding and getting muties! Muties are so very cool and I'm happy that they exist.

However, when I look at some lions, especially lethal lions, I just can't help but to get frustrated.

You're telling me, that a game that has lions travel through space, have heaven & hell wars, have some form of religion, have the equivalent of doctors, have mythical creatures in game, battles with bugs, has currency, Rainbow and starry pelts, can wear decor, clothing, speak, have battle competitions, ALLOW SNOW, and multiple other things but can't take care of their disabled pride mates and family members?

Deaf lions can apparently die randomly. So, you're telling me with a game that has all that, that a deaf lion can't surrive because it's not "accurate to nature?" Or, "realistically, they would kill them."

There are literal dragons in game. There's a manticore in game. These lions have some form of human intelligence. And, you're telling me that disabled lions cannot live because it's "not realistic?"

Okay, using that logic then remove nearly all of the events. That's not realistic. Remove every bright, unnatural, unrealistic, and fun bases. That's not realistic. Remove the primals. That's not realistic.

My next frustration with Lioden lethals is the conjoined twins. Again, these lions have doctors (shamans), language, and overall human intelligence, so why do they have to die? There's real people who are conjoined twins, living their lives. Yet, a lion game with mythical creatures, and all that can't allow them to live either?

The only disabled lions and lions with visual differences that get to exist are ones that are pretty, look cool, or are useful. And, it's so upsetting.

Very curious to see and hear what other people think.

Edit: Someone mentioned that there wasn't a suggestion and I completely forgot so here are some suggestions to fix this.

1.) Not making it expensive to freeze your lions. That would be great! Or, removing the death feature and keeping them as is. I don't really understand why such a death factor exists if this is a pet sim. Again, ignoring "realism" considering there are dragons, space travel, ETC. Why have lions if they're gonna die. That doesn't make the game fun. It makes them incredibly sad. Using disabled death isn't fun, and using disabled death for weight isn't really great either.

2.) Not using lethal mutations just for death. Some mutations are understandable, and I'm not disagreeing with it. But, some like cleft palate, conjoined twins, and other disabilities that are survivable (again, ignoring realism, this is not a realistic game) shouldn't be lethal.

Why not have a chance rate of death rather them 100% dying. Maybe have tools to help them grow, have disability aids (ex. A walking stick for the blind lions, could be a collar or smth. A buddy for deaf lions). And, the only reason they would 100% would die is due to neglect. Such as neglecting food, support, and a similar message pops up for rollovers.
