Re: Matt bashing?

The only thing that makes me rme is when Foggy is written incredibly ooc in order to make Matt look like shit comparatively but I don't know if that counts as bashing. Maybe?

tbh I have seen a lot of fics where Matt is written like he can see, but that may just be the author's inability to convey blindness. I'm leery of Matt-POV fics for this reason.

Yeah...I was talking more about the fics that actually claim that his senses make up for his lack of eyesight which are thankfully few (or of which I have thankfully found only a few).

But what you said is much more frequent, e.g. stuff like Matt POV-fics in which things are described that he couldn't pick up with his senses (like eye-rolling) are much more frequent.
Though there's also a YMMV-thing going on. Like I've read fics which have lines like 'he could hear the clothes rustling and Foggy's hair brushing against his clothes and knew Foggy had shrugged' and it's of course not wrong to describe it like that (and I honestly admire that attention to detail) but I'm perfectly content with 'And Foggy shrugged'.

And now I wandered away completely from OP's question. Sorry.

I think he can hear the eye-rolling squishing, anon.

An alternate universe character who has Daredevil's soul--yes--once yelled at another character with a full head sock-type mask to "not roll your eyes at me!" Obviously, he had some way of knowing the other character was rolling their eyes, despite not being able to see them.

The scene was written by Tom DeFalco, who is one of the oldest Marvel comics creators, and knows those characters backwards and forwards.
