Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat.

Felt like sharing it here because I’m sure more people should keep this kind of thing in mind.

    I went to a NTID school, the community there does not consider themselves to have a “disability” literally. To them, it’s just a language.

      There’s a lot of cultural stuff there that I’m certainly not qualified to comment on.

      To them, it’s just a language.

      What is? Being deaf isn’t a language. Sign language absolutely is a language, or to be more accurate, it’s a whole class of languages, because ASL is as different from AusLan or BSL as English is from Spanish or German.

      And like any language, it’s more than just a set of definitions and rules of grammar. It carries culture.

        Yeah exactly, for them it’s about the culture, in which language is a huge factor.
