Deaf people tend to have a pretty strong cultural identity to the point where some deaf couples are glad to have their children turn out deaf as well.
This seems monstrous to me, but I don't have the power to stop them.
Yet.

I'll never forget the little graphic slideshow where the deaf guy with the 80's hair had his kid flown to some rear end-backwards country to have him deafened. Pretending your lack of one of the senses everyone else has isn't a handicap somehow is ludicrous; deafening your hearing kid is loving monstrous.

A deaf woman I know just recently had a baby and when everyone asked the inevitable question about its hearing she informed us that they were "hoping it would be deaf." That's like saying you can't slam dunk, so you hope your kid never can either. Jesus Christ.

Was dunking the first analogy that came to mind when searching for a good comparison to being deaf?

Just wondering.

It's like every time I think up a snarky but legitimate reason not to indulge whatever circus freak or retard's demand that I respect them, call them by a made-up royal title and agree to pretend that they're not bug-rear end crazy, some 100% perfect living breathing case in point appears and embarrasses itself on the internet and/or is psyopmonkey

Faking disability is pretty atrocious- it was the kind of tasteless thing the Gang did in It's Always Sunny's first season (Mac pretending to have polio to get chicks.) Actually injuring yourself would be noble if you could give your ability to someone who is actually disabled. Just throwing it away, though? That's pretty pathetic

Having some guy who wears a dress and chops off his dick and balls be called a woman with a straight face irrevocably changes the definition of woman for everybody, just as a woman who puts on a backwards hat one day and walks around looking like justin bieber is suddenly supposed to be called a man with a straight face. Not sure how it does, but it does. Not that i care, society can crumble around me, ill find a place to wait it out.

I knew exactly one deaf guy who wasn't a huge rear end in a top hat, but he was almost completely blind, too, so maybe that is what gave him the transempathy.
