X to doubt. Sesame Street is a merchandising cash cow and the licensing deals pay for its production many times over. I have no idea why they took the HBO deal but if they say "we would have had to cancel it otherwise" they're fucking lying.

This fuck really maxes out the "people listen to me because I'm hot and also they feel bad for me" thing, damn. Self-importance to the high heavens. And if someone pointed it out to him he would deny so hard. Like of course it's not because abs + cripple.

The only deaf guy I know in movies is that girl in from A Quiet Place film. She wasn't totally deaf at that, she has an implant and also did her fair share on helping other actors with sign language when they forget their 'lines' behind the scenes. Thanks to that, the characters made their own differences/tics on how they 'say' their 'lines'. The Mother signs graceful/flowly, Father is direct, the son is nervous, and the daughter is normal.
If it was an actual fully deaf (or autistic) guy, thats a whole different can of worms.
At that relating to the thread: I'm also bringing up Hush. Normal woman plays a deaf woman who is a writer, stuck in a cabin. She has to survive against a burglar, who got in just because she couldn't hear him at all.
I would imagine it wouldn't be so hard to guide a deaf actor here instead, since the movie is just mainly silent (aside from some lines from the burglar and the various items) with two characters.
If it was a bigger movie like A Quiet Place or like Sia did, then yeah, thats where problems bigger than "I need a [x] actor for my [x] role" arise.
Hush hits a bit close to home, because the main character actually gets wounded multiple times over the movie since the burglar has a huge advantage over her. She had to rely on her wits and actually corner herself in a room just so he would stop sneaking up on her. It didn't help that, some years ago, my house almost got broken in while I was inside, just for the simple glaring issue that was also pointed out on the movie: I couldn't hear the alarm. Thankfully, guy fled when he saw the porch has a camera recorder.

Glad I found this thread, I know it hasn't had much interaction at the moment, but I had to get this one out.
There's this TikTok user by the name "DaddyGlass" or "GlassMenagerie" and by God does she have a fucking ego on her shoulders. She constantly picks fights with other TikTok accounts (usually those smaller than hers) and constantly mocks them over twitter/tiktok, and when they all start fighting back she predictably claims that she is the victim. Almost all of the time her videos are taken down by "troll accounts" who just want to see her gone, failing to see the irony of sending people to harass others being wrong.
Not to mention, after doing some digging on her Twitter, she isn't even technically "Deaf" the way she claims (or claimed). Apparently she's only got one-sided deafness on her right ear, yet throughout her "career" she made no effort to mention the full details and only went by "deaf", there's even a tweet she posted before all of this that obviously none of her dumbfuck fans have seen yet or else they would actually have to question something their "queen" said.

Didn't realize puttin' on your hearing aid (not aids, aid) was such a struggle for somebody who apparently loss their hearing 4 months ago. Gotta appreciate the way they subtly slid in that they're only half-deaf, good for them I guess.

Now I'm glad that I found this thread. This girl, Gabrielle Paris Glass is currently waging war on October Evans. She currently has 2 GFM's for a current "victim" of Evans and another for all of Evan's victims. As much as I enjoy October Evans getting shit on and spergging out this chick is equals him in cowlike behavior. She certainly deserves a deep dig.

Their language? I'm sorry what?

Curious to see what she means by 'not respecting our culture', I checked the hashtag. The results are cancerous.
I also hate it when non-French people use the French language for personal gain.
Okay, so this person really doesn't have anything to say. Quit talking over the dDdDeaf community, you audist bigot!
No really, that is what they call it.
Today I learned, I am both an autist and an audist.
And speaking of autism...
At least two of those points are straight-up appropriated from the Autistic community. And you know what? If you can't acknowledge that, then I'll insist we get a capital letter too.
But seriously though, this is your CULTURE? When I hear the word, I typically think of cultures in terms of their art, their folklore, their memes. Language is a part of it, yes. But it's a pretty weark culture if it's only about having a separate language. Fuck, this forum has better culture than the Deaf™ community and the tag has so far failed to convince me otherwise.

There's some show on Netflix about a group of deaf kids in a school. One of them does deaf content on YouTube and for that reason alone, the others say she fetishizes her condition and needlessly cashes in on it. Seems like a normal take around deafies.

Such great parents. They totally made the right call not giving their little girl an operation that would have allowed her to learn to speak.
And yeah, that surgery sounds super-horrible. Yikes!

Didn't want to double-post, but this was too much to shove into an edit. The same user as above (@Saint_Ellis) retweeted a link, which leads to this: "Let’s use bold, beautiful hearing aids to celebrate deafness"
The article is TL;DR, but the apparent hypocrisy in what she tweeted and retweeted wasn't lost on me. To be clear then, she is opposed (on presumably moralistic grounds) to a certain type of hearing aid - one that would allow a deaf child to learn to speak from infancy and learn a spoken first language - but seemingly also endorses a different type hearing aid that advertises its presence to the people around you.
The main difference being that one removes its user from the Deaf™ community. The other merely strengthens its user's bond with said community, giving both insiders and outsiders a visual way of recognising them.
One might try and argue that the first type of hearing aid requires a minor surgery to install, so it's not ethical to install it on 3-year-olds who cannot consent to such a surgery. This may appear to be her argument at first glance. But if you read the tweet again, she's actually of the mind that 3-year-olds can consent to that, and in her case she chose to say no. She clearly hasn't changed her mind about the surgery since she was 3 then, otherwise she wouldn't be tweeting this in the first place.
Speculating further on her motivations, her parents probably told her "you're perfect in every way, just the way you are!" and so she continues to believe this. Kinda thinking out loud here (so Deaf people can't hear it) but I'm sure there must be a link between indulgent parenting and people who treat their disabilities as an identity, because it's the most obvious way to reconcile "I am perfect" with "I have a disability". In this mental model, a disability isn't seen as something wrong with you, but rather as a cool trait that most other people don't have.
When in actual fact it's not. Disability is just that - the lack (dis-) of an ability.
(Not my autism though because that's totally different. Mummy said it's a superpower and she is almost never wrong.)

Because if you haven't heard me rant about dDeaf people enough, I actually read the article. The comparison to eye glasses is made here. Now first of all I would note that glasses rarely contain any purely decorative features like they're suggesting here, but that's a minor detail.
One of the other replies on the Twitter thread made this exact same point, which is that hearing aids marketed as fashion accessories would actually make more deaf people able to afford them.
Leaving aside the fact that the left-wing idiot just made the argument that capitalism drives prices down (b... based?), I doubt she truly realises what she's arguing for.
Because in a world where hearing aids are normalised to the same extent as glasses, it wouldn't just be Deaf™ people who are wearing them, especially if companies are selling them for less and need to make that up in volume.
In the real world, where people wear glasses as pure fashion accessories without any real need for them - either as sunglasses or as hipster frames with no lenses - glasses have long since ceased to serve the function of a Disability Mark of Honour.
And in the world these people are advocating for, the same thing would happen with hearing aids that look like steampunk robot parts or whatever. If these somehow became a must-wear item, those same people would REEEEE all day and night about hearing people appropriating their disability for a fashion accessory. They don't know what they want.
Also:
Where does Twitter keep finding these people?

I've probably said this, but deaf people what the absolute fuck?
Ironically the blind community is super chill
Cochlear implants/processors already have hella stickers and accessories, so maybe we should be implanting them in every deaf kid so they can join in the fun? Great, that's that settled.

I've been following what was happening with Chris as soon as he popped up again. Had to join to chime in on this. But JFC do DaddyGlassBaby have a god complexity going on. Not once is she not involved with any drama. Before Chris, she would attack anyone learning sign language. She even mocked them with a video and send her hive after them and cry if they do the same. You can easily see it in her pinned post. She was bullying Tik Toker like rosaliee_ospina, kaytlynasl. She deleted her videos. Who know how many more?
Now she is running 2 gofundme for a person who is not even Jane Jones. It's not hard to tell that it's about the green hair girl. She just increased the goal to 20,000 from 15,000 which is??? How much money do u need to pursue a case? I cannot see it being so expensive? They're now together so does she money for a place?? A scammer pulling a scam by calling out a scammer
