If you’re disabled and can’t actually do those things…?

Absolutely not, they would be considered playing, your ignorance and ableism for disabled people is showing too much.

If you can't actually do a thing then it sounds like you're saying you aren't doing the thing?

Absolutely not, they would be considered playing

Did I understand correctly that in an otherwise identical situation, disabled person who is watching sports is playing sports in your opinion (while also saying they can't play sports), even though an able person watching sports isn't playing them?

That sounds contradictory.

I'm impressed you kept your composure through all that. Holy shit, what an asshole.

If you are disabled and skip certain parts of a game, you are still playing the rest of it.

This is not the same as watching a lets play or sport. Since you are still actively involved.

So even with this AI, you are still playing the game.

You're not playing the parts that you skipped or let AI play for you, was what I was getting at
