I heard some whoppers:
:galaxy-brain: "I have studied every religion. They are all parts of the same universal truth... except Boodyhizzim." (yes he pronounced Buddhism as Boodyhizzim.)
:wojak-nooo: "I am so sick of poor people dominating gaming. Developers are forced to make weaker games with worse graphics because the poor need to be catered do. My rig is top of the line and nothing uses its full potential."
:frothingfash: "Being gay is a choice. Gay men aren't just d---------s, they're lazy because men always want to get laid and it's easier to fuck men."
This is actually a really common set of brainworms in the Deaf community. To start, there's resentment of "peddlers", which are Deaf people who "play up" their deafness while panhandling to evoke sympathy and make more money, often by handing out cards with the manual alphabet on them. So far, you can sort of see where that resentment might come from, in that the Deaf community is really big on Deafhood being a positive thing and that plays off deafness being a negative thing to get sympathy and money.
But then, as part of that resentment, people are convinced that these peddlers are all super rich, which is also meant to make the non-peddler Deaf people martyrs- "I could be rich too if I was willing to shuck and jive, but I have too much dignity for that" basically
that doesn't sound like much of a "community" to me. like, it's a disability. if someone doesn't have the social bonds and material necessities that deaf and hearing people rely on, suddenly it becomes a lot more disabling.
Yes but deaf people have their own language group and culture that that entails. You get some really interesting inter community fights about it, especially surrounding things like coclear implants. Like I can see both sides of the argument, it's a quite interesting conundrum.
