Is this going to become the new normal having a person in the bottom right corner of the screen throwing up gang signs....?

It's more fucking diversity bullshit.

"We have to cater to the four deaf people". Exactly the same reasoning as the shoe horned awful feminist neanderthal characters in video games now.

There's such a thing as captions, retards.

rant over carry on

I'm deaf and blind. I take offense to you suggesting using captions.

In all faintness deaf people probably make up a large portion of Xidens voting base.

In that case, we need smellovision so we can smell the bullshit.

Ah yeah I forgot there were some that did that. A friend of mine even pointed out one that was flailing around with no meaning, so they didn't even vet the guy properly.

Sounds like a sweet gig.

That was a insane dude during Mandela Funeral during Obama speech there he was just flailing his arms around. < It's 100% true

That's why deaf girls just close their eyes in the middle of an argument.

Subtitles solved this problem years ago.

Now try to learn how to read without listening you idiot, it's not nearly as easy.

That makes reading slower. I don't think of sounds when I read.

I used to think the same but after talking to some deaf people (lol) it turns out that sign language is actually a language to them and more importantly, to them it's like hearing vs reading for us. I don't see why they can't have a "turn off gang signs" setting like with closed captions if they're going to make this a thing.

I have a gut feeling that it's something more than mere virtue signaling. We know these creeps love their symbolism - what if this too is another extension of that?

After all, a sign language interpreter only repeats what they've been told, and has no voice of their own.

Fits the motif of the "deep state," which uses puppets and actors to front its operations - telling them what to say and do in order to further specific goals.

I dunno. Bit tin-foil-hatty, but these are unusual times, and something about this sign-language silliness has never sat right with me.

It's an inclusion effort to help make the speech more comprehensible to Americans of mediterranean descent. Biden's total lack of arm movement makes it hard for people from those cultures to even identify that he is speaking.

Youtube can have almost realtime ~90% accurate closed captions but no we must waste money hiring signers for the fraction of the population that understands sign language and muh diversity virtue-signalling!

Actually if you are not ignorant about it it makes complete sense. If that really bothers you need to seek help.

How much of a fagg you need to be to take offense at people being deaf?

That comment upset you? haha... Maybe you should start a new movement called DLM Deaf lives matter. Pro Tip: when the democrats are the only ppl doing it, not the republicans, not the MSM news etc. They arent doing it because they care about deaf people. They're doing it because they want to "look" like they care about deaf people.

Where was I upset? I'm just calling like it is. Ignorant motherfockers being ignorant and dragging us down.

Looks like they care more then you do (yes, they probably do it just to score some points, but it's better than going out of our way to look ignorant). Mocking deaf people gets us where? This is the sort of attitude that get us further from actually winning anything.

I get that most people just assume close captions work just as well out of ignorance, it just doesn't if and you all would know had you ever researched it.

Also people who just have awful hearing like me -.-

I can deal without one, but it's helpful to have it there, I also really appreciate subtitles.

Have you never heard of closed captioning?

How about people who don't know big words? Is there a translator into ghettospeak?
