I think I know who you mean

When I say sorry I noticed sometimes I automatically do the sign for it too

Without even meaning to

ASL, nice. Interesting story: In "a quiet place" one of the actors was legitimatly deaf, so they t aught the other actors how to use asl

That's dope

As for the topic of "representation" ...honestly, in my opinion, is it really important?

yes it is

Yeah, I was thinking of her

we need more deaf actors and characters on tv shows and movies and a rep in games and all

Yeah? Yeah it really is important?

diversity doesnt just mean only a few selected to shake the trees against hollywood it should be all sort of reps

Why do you think it's not important

you want a rep for lgbt ? you get it. you want a rep for black community? you get it. etc on ans on but dont stop short of it and exclude the people with disablities

Also, imo it absolutely shouldn't just be sjw rep. Like in spiderman far from home and homecoming, flash Thompson is Indian. He looks Indian. And the SJWs love that. But does he have an Indian name? Does he have anything to do with the culture? NO

he's just a white teenage boy they painted with an Indian skin tone. That's not representation

people were like they want more diverse cast and all

That was a metaphor btw I know they didn't paint him

what do they call it? racebending? @2 quid is good

That's what represantation is meant to be

Something like that

I think that is what it's called yeah

But every now and then it's seen as this way to go berserk on anyone who don't agree with a casting

slash so you are saying we cant normalize deaf repsentations in tv, games comics and on?

Cast a white guy on a white guy role instead of an asian? Let's talk shit about the actor chosen.

This is one that actually happened
