12  2017-10-08 by LakeFire-

So I learned in r/drama that the term Hearing Impaired is an insult to deaf people. Well today I learned it is not. Source:

You learned wrong offensive to Deaf people yes. To deaf people no.

Please read for comprehension and do not comment to this and do not mention me at all. Have your circle jerk behind my back Irdgaf what y'all say about me as long as I don't get a notification. I do enjoy sleeping.

If you hate it here so much, why do you even show up? I pinged you in the AMA thread but not here because I know how much you hate it here. Yet HERE YOU ARE

1  EllieTheVantas 2017-10-08

I hate being pinged IN GENERAL I really don't mind it here or anywhere. Actually that's not true. I hate this subs clientele, you all seem like super edgy fuckbois who never left middle school imo. But I don't mind voyeuring the sub, y'all are pleasant in moderation.

who never left middle school imo

Says the girl who admitted to have failed Algebra three times...

1  EllieTheVantas 2017-10-08

Irrelevant, I graduated

It's where failed abortions come from

OK, I don't get it, are you saying that "hearing impaired" is offensive while "hard of hearing" is not to people who roleplay as being hearing impaired but not to actually hearing impaired?

1  SDIHTD 2017-10-08

u/elliethevantas shut up

1  Oh_hamburgers_ 2017-10-08

/u/EllieTheVantas you know you love these pings, you could turn them off if you didn't. Embrace this shitty sub like the rest of us who were pinged here.

1  EllieTheVantas 2017-10-08

Idk how to turn them off QwQ

1  LocalHero457 2017-10-08

Go to preferences, and under the "messaging options" section untick the "notify me when people say my username" box.

Ellie is literally insane. If I had to guess I'd say she(?)'s deaf because of a small soviet explosive device that was intended to wipe her memory, but since the soviets fucked everything up they ended up damaging her temporal and frontal lobes, resulting in a deaf lunatic.
