Why do they keep forcing this sign language shit on us? In every emergency press conference there's some autistic guy in the background doing hand signals. There's lots of disabilities and impairments. Why are they pushing this sign language one in particular so hard? What's so special about them? Yeah being deaf sucks. But how many deaf people are actually watching that autistic sign language guy in the background flailing his arms around?

worldwide. I hate it. we have Closed captioning on television for a reason
is that sam hyde?
It's funny, but I think deep down everyone wonders the same thing in the age of closed caption.
Lmao why deaf people even watching TV when they can't even see?
What a stupid fucking thread I bet a zoomer made this shit good fuck a very good thread died for this garbage
Is so fucking distracting, I am trying to pay attention to whatever news some government talking head has to say and as soon as the faggot sign language guy starts contorting about I just can't take it serious anymore.
They need to get rid of that shit and promote close caption, soon they'll have some nigger translating in ebonics for the hood rats
Is there anything that Yas Forums bitch about and turn into some ridiculous conspiracy?
I want to see one of these faggots translating one of Trumps press conferences.
You only see the sign language in official press conferences like that. Lots of smalltime local news cannot realistically be closed captioned.
It sounds crazy, but its real shit. Most deaf folks are older boomers now though. They were mostly a product of a pretty bad rubella outbreak in the 50s-60s.
Because it's a universal language, anyone in the world who knows sign language as the ability to speak to one another no matter their national tongue.
The sign language for water is same in any part of the globe. So if someone from say Germany is in America and turns this on, and they are deaf, they won't be able to read the subtitles because the CC won't be in German it will be in English, but if he knows sign language he can understand what Trump is saying
No.
You know what’s weird? I didn’t see it at all until this started. Deaf people were just expected to use closed captions until a month ago, for no reason at all it seems.
Are you saying deaf people are illiterate and can't read closed captions?
"because the CC won't be in German it will be in English, but if he knows sign language he can understand what Trump is saying"
then translate the captions then fucking hell
Because America has been catering to minorities for half a century. Where have you been?
are you fucking stupid? ever heard of deaf people?
Do you think andrew yang thinks his wife is hot, or does he think she's a fuckin ugly gook indistinguishable from all the rest?
it’s just virtue signalling
mute here I can explain. Live closed caption is often littered with errors which, especially during an emergency, can cause problems. A bad caption almost got my little brother killed.
An excuse to raise budgets to pay do-nothing bureaucrats, literally the story of the past 50 years of state spending
Stupid zoomers.
Sign language is NOT universal, and is even different between countries with the same spoken language - ASL is used in America while UK has a different sign language.
What?
So fucking annoying
Wouldn’t you’d wish they’d just speak up and talk instead of moving their arms around like retards?
>NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE DEAF HAVE NO RIGHT TO KNOW WHATS GOING ON NOOOOOOOOOOO
I fucking hate this board
Your brother sounds like a huge pussy.
Deaf guy here, it's the illuminati lizardman language. You fools with your hearing receptors are not getting the real info. Only the deaf really know what's going on. The truth. Obviously the truth is too delicate for the hearing proletariat to understand.
it's almost like they want to distract you on purpose
ever heard of subtitles.
Sign language is universal and can be easily translated across multiple languages.
HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT.
Fuck beat me to it
I’ve never once heard subtitles
Yeah I get it's strange but leave him alone, hes just tryin to vibe, baka
I just want to know how deaf people survived until now since they didn’t start doing sign language during news conferences until now.
Defective humans should be killed at birth.
Shit I guess I never though of it like that, this why I love pol, some schizo always brings a new perspective
Deaf people are a cult. The vast majority of hearing loss is fully treatable with modern medicine (like cochlear implants). But the deaf community places a huge value on the shared culture of signing, and will shun and exclude people who pursue treatments to let them hear. Some people even have their implants removed to better "fit in" to the deaf community. The whole thing is fucked. Apparently they have enough influence to get this shit on national TV.
It's either contagious virtue signalling or a place to hide intelligence cues in plain sight (like Bill Clinton's "tie wiggle" signal to Monica; shit that people would notice if all the politicians were doing it, but can be reasonably hidden within the actions of ASL interpreters).
Ok brainlet why don’t they sign on all news networks 24/7?
Sign language is not universal.
It's easily translatable because the vast majority of hand signs have been made universal.
Arabic sign language might as well be a different language altogether.
Cept that it's not. You use American sign language
>t. Fluent in 4 sign languages
I remember the incident when a gov hired someone who had no experience in sign language. Just played around with his hands. forgot which country it was but it was hilarious
simply turn on auto translate for CC
except basically everyone has argued for closed captioning, brainlet
Most speeches have them. It's just that we actually see them on screen during bigger events. You retarded zoomer.
Advances in technology made it possible to "cure" deafness in a lot of people.
Aren't there some leftists who intentionally refuse to treat deafness in their children to give them oppression points?
Deaf people can see, deaf means they can't hear. You are thinking of blind, it's a common mistake.
I love the one from Governor Ron DeSantis in Florida. Some of these people look like straight retards themselves.
Ah, you beat me to it.
There is different languages of sign language. Not only do different languages have different sign languages but also different dialects.
I don’t know why but I’ve noticed this more frequently too
How are you still coof
who cares? is there a new conspiracy with sign language people?

>A positive attitude towards deafness is typical in Deaf cultural groups. Deafness is not generally considered a condition that needs to be fixed.
>The term "Deaf Gain" is used by Deaf people, to re-frame the perceived losses of Deafness to highlight the gains that being Deaf brings.
>The use of a sign language is central to Deaf cultural identity. Oralist approaches to educating deaf children thereby pose a threat to the continued existence of Deaf culture. Some members of Deaf communities may also oppose technological innovations like cochlear implants for the same reason.
>Culturally, Deaf people value the use of natural sign languages that exhibit their own grammatical conventions, such as American Sign Language and British Sign Language, over signed versions of English or other oral languages. Spoken English, written English and signed English are three different symbolic systems for expressing the same language.
>Deaf communities strongly oppose discrimination against deaf people.
>Deaf culture in the United States tends to be collectivist rather than individualist; culturally Deaf people value the group.
anyone remember the sign language guy that was faking it for like 3 years. think it was in africa ? funny shit
They figured out it's effective in hypnotizing viewers to be less critical of whatever is being said.
This is similar to how some people treat autism. Organizations like Autism Speaks, as well as vitrue-signalling leftists, like to treat autism as a positive thing, but most actual autists wish they could get rid of it.
She blessed me with the eternal coofening. I can coof on everybody I want to kill. The Coofalypse cant be stopped
I can almost stand the fingers weaving minarets and the spinning secret alphabets, but the bugeyed Robin Trower guitar solo face on this hambone probably added 10 NY Woodstock veterans to the death toll.
Nice that's based. It would be cool if it got going again. I lost my biohazard and laughing emoji maybe from not posting enough. So yeah I want this quarantine to last till june at least, I'm enjoying sitting on my ass
I dunno. Do you want there to be?
SJW RETARDATION
BRAINLESS VIRTUE SIGNALING
WHAT PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE ARE DEAF ANYWAY
