Had this conversation with someone who chose to no longer be at my table after meeting a blind NPC
(files.catbox.moe)
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.
Cochlear implants are frowned upon by some in the Deaf community.
I went to a NTID school, the community there does not consider themselves to have a "disability" literally. To them, it's just a language.
There's a lot of cultural stuff there that I'm certainly not qualified to comment on.
What is? Being deaf isn't a language. Sign language absolutely is a language, or to be more accurate, it's a whole class of languages, because ASL is as different from AusLan or BSL as English is from Spanish or German.
And like any language, it's more than just a set of definitions and rules of grammar. It carries culture.
Yeah exactly, for them it's about the culture, in which language is a huge factor.
