im ok with this but only cuz clapping is stupid and jazz hands are awesome. being in a stadium with 10,000+ people doing jazz hands sounds like a potentially really good time.

@NFL please ask your fans to stop clapping and yelling when points are scored. it is very triggering and patriarchal. thanks (^.^) retweet and share!

a comic, in text (because I can't draw)

1) crowded conference hall. speaker wrapping up. audience gives standing ovation
2) zoom in on protagonist. clenching muscles, grinding teeth/biting lips, bug-eyed in fear
3-4) flashback: jungles of Vietnam. charlie is all around our protagonist, boxing them in. they're clapping.

As a child, I studied in a religious school. They'd hold a special "prayer week" once a year, and bring a speaker to talk about whatever they saw fit. One of them was a middle-aged woman who actually banned us from clapping and made us do those shaky jazz hands, since applause was "disruptive and disrespectful". So it took away one of the few things that weren't completely soporific from these kind of events, which is to clap loudly and vigorously just for the hell of it and to make noise. We had to sing songs, as usual, so I just screamed at the top of my lungs like everyone else. It was all tweens with cracking voices, so no one gave a poo poo about tune, except the kids who sang in the choir, but gently caress them anyway. I hope they got diddled.

Fats Dominar is on the case


At the conclusion of the conference, a tribute to Comrade Stalin was called for. Of course, everyone stood up (just as everyone had leaped to his feet during the conference at every mention of his name). ... For three minutes, four minutes, five minutes, the stormy applause, rising to an ovation, continued. But palms were getting sore and raised arms were already aching. And the older people were panting from exhaustion. It was becoming insufferably silly even to those who really adored Stalin.

However, who would dare to be the first to stop? … After all, NKVD men were standing in the hall applauding and watching to see who would quit first! And in the obscure, small hall, unknown to the leader, the applause went on – six, seven, eight minutes! They were done for! Their goose was cooked! They couldn’t stop now till they collapsed with heart attacks! At the rear of the hall, which was crowded, they could of course cheat a bit, clap less frequently, less vigorously, not so eagerly – but up there with the presidium where everyone could see them?

The director of the local paper factory, an independent and strong-minded man, stood with the presidium. Aware of all the falsity and all the impossibility of the situation, he still kept on applauding! Nine minutes! Ten! In anguish he watched the secretary of the District Party Committee, but the latter dared not stop. Insanity! To the last man! With make-believe enthusiasm on their faces, looking at each other with faint hope, the district leaders were just going to go on and on applauding till they fell where they stood, till they were carried out of the hall on stretchers! And even then those who were left would not falter…

Then, after eleven minutes, the director of the paper factory assumed a businesslike expression and sat down in his seat. And, oh, a miracle took place! Where had the universal, uninhibited, indescribable enthusiasm gone? To a man, everyone else stopped dead and sat down. They had been saved!

The squirrel had been smart enough to jump off his revolving wheel. That, however, was how they discovered who the independent people were. And that was how they went about eliminating them. That same night the factory director was arrested. They easily pasted ten years on him on the pretext of something quite different. But after he had signed Form 206, the final document of the interrogation, his interrogator reminded him:

“Don’t ever be the first to stop applauding.”

This. This is why most non-Deaf groups use "jazz hands", not some desire to be super inclusive snowflake tenders--but because applause is disruptive. Wave your jazz hands or sparkle fingers or whatever to show your approval so that poo poo keeps on moving in the meantime and the speaker doesn't have to stop to wait for the applause to stop!
Wait is this a real post? Is using jazz hands in place of clapping a legit thing that "most non-deaf groups use"?

i mean, it's often rude and disruptive to the flow to start applauding in the middle of a presentation.

but the answer is "hold your applause til the end", not "wave your hands in the air like you just don't care"
