RoyBatty is alive Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I would be clapping, hooting, and hollering...intolerant hypocrites Just now, Gugny said: "Union officer Sara Khan said traditional clapping can cause issues for students with autism, sensory issues or deafness." Tell me .... how the !@#$ can a noise affect someone with deafness? They need to ban signs next, it disenfranchises and discriminates against the blind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazinBill Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Not taking any sides here but the noise impacting people that are "deaf" is the vibration not the actual noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwai San Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Clappy McClapper isn't wanted there......apparently neither is common sense. Looks like British millennials are on par with US ones.....do they compare notes??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boater Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Quote So-called "jazz hands", she said, encouraged an "environment of respect". Yeah, right. Jazz hands just makes you look ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I have spoken to the President of the Manchester Student's Union and they confirmed to me that a passionate dislike for Sean McDermott's ability to clap his way through an offensive shutout last Sunday was the catalyst for change.

aceman_16 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 That article is ludicrous. IF they are sooo worried about triggering issues then: 1) remove all white males 2) get rid of anything that has a scent (perfume) 3) not use anything but natural light 4) keep the room cool (probably too cold for the women left in the audience) 5) etc.. In essence, there are ALWAYS things that upset those with sensory issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 why wouldn't the sign language symbol for clapping not be actual clapping? It would be universally recognized and interpreted as.....clapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be universally recognized and interpreted as.....clapping. Because clapping is auditory related and anything having to do with being able to hear is taboo in the deaf community. I work in a deaf community so you can trust me on this. Also there are deaf people and Deaf people. This isn't even close to the worst thing I have seen/heard about related to deaf culture.
