Some readers: A printed book is more active media than an audiobook or television show because there's more to imagine and the reader has to fill it in for themself. It's more intelligent and creative! 馃槫
Me: I don't agree with that, but on that point... not that I want to encourage stereotyping of disabled people, not even "positive" ones, but by that note wouldn't Blind and Deaf people be more active and intelligent thinkers and creators? 馃 Again, not something I agree with as a blanket statement (though I know plenty of intelligent and creative disabled people!), but if you could at least consider not equating blindness and deafness with carelessness, incompetence, and callousness-
Writers: No. Are you blind or what? Why are you turning a deaf ear?!
Me:
Sighted & hearing people: Anyway we are very smart
