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.
