Aren't there some people who are seriously in to Deaf Culture, and are completely against things like cochlear implants because it means being Deaf isn't a Lifestyle any more? I've only heard, never met anyone like that myself, so I dunno.

It's a whole loving thing because they have "their own language". They are like the grumpy rear end in a top hat disability.

"Deaf culture" has gone to some bizarre, occasionally horrifying lengths to try and normalize their disability, from attempting to redefine it as anything other than a disability to vilifying cochlear implants and those who receive them. It feels like an attitude born out of going too far to try and gain respect, swerving from "Hey, don't be assholes to deaf people and put some more Braille around here" to "The deaf have a beautiful culture, and nobody can understand us but us. This is why we need to make more people deaf."

In lighter news, the schadenfreude is that you're not part of the most embarrassing fight of 2016:

Finding a little longer video it looks like they wrapped up the segment, it was supposed to go to commercial (or maybe did?) then the producer ran out and wheeled them off.

There was at one point a gathering for the deaf and all the deaf people were angerly signing at the wife for allowing her child to get an implant.

I don't know ASL, but I do know the appropriate sign to respond to that.

The first time I heard about deaf culture was when people were like jesus asl is racist af maybe they should change some of the words and deaf people were like no gently caress you.

It's hilarious how they managed to come up with something that has pissed literally everybody off. And we haven't even had the people with big sticks chime in yet.

Unfortunately, I can derive only the smallest amount of joy in the suffering because I know that they'll all just gently caress it up even worse

I've gotta get something.

I always enjoy watching people crash expensive drones into poo poo, but I'm going to have to say that a guy crashing his drone into one of the towers of the goddamn Hagia Sophia is some of the best schadenfreude I've gotten from this thread. I thought the one flying it into the butte in the middle of the desert was always going to be my favorite, but I could never have guessed what'd top it.

Annoying weird kid keeps interrupting a speedrunner at a convention(yeah, that's a thing. i'm surprised too.) and finally gets told to shut up.

Right? If the kid wants to be deaf he can just turn the loving thing off. If he grows up without the implant then the choice is being made for him.
