Nyle DiMarco Opens Up About Having to Leave *Black Panther* Because He’s Deaf

It’s sad I still have not watched Black Panther. 

Please share

WHAT

LET ? THE DEAF ?? WATCH ??? BLACK PANTHER ????

I hate the fucking title for this article because it pits minorities against each other. If you actually read the thing, it has SWEET FUCK ALL to do with the fact that the film this man was trying to watch was Black Panther. It’s the captioning system that the movie theatres use that are failing the Deaf community.

I REPEAT, IT IS NOT BLACK PANTHER THAT IS THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS THE TOTAL LACK OF SUPPORTS FOR DEAF PEOPLE TO WATCH *ANY* FILMS WITH PROPER CAPTIONS.

DON’T: let this article be the reason you don’t see Black Panther.
DO: help the Deaf community by making captions socially acceptable.

The problem is the system. Don’t blame the film.

Todd Howard vs Andrew Hussie

things to keep in mind:

  • hussie is a stone-cold killer; todd howard insists on making his darlings Essential, therefore he may be similarly reluctant to go all-out when fighting you
  • because of todd howard’s clipping issues and poorly-balanced stealth mechanics, his attack patterns and movements are a lot less predictable; hussie will actively telegraph half his attacks, and will spend enough time celebrating each genuinely unexpected one that you can easily regain your footing
  • Hussie has nothing to lose, Todd has everything to lose 
  • Hussie’s inventory system is also very glitchy, and the glitch may extend to Todd. As a result, Todd’s weapons can become perfectly mundane objects at any time. Have you ever tried to cut someone with lipstick? It doesn’t work.
  • Todd has access to console commands, which in desperation he could use to achieve godmode.
  • Hussie has killed gods, and will again.

An aspect of gun control that other countries practice that doesn’t come up in America a lot is ammunition control. In Japan, if you’re one of the privileged few allowed to own a gun (and only shotguns and rifles are legal), you have to return all your spent cartridges if you want to buy any more. In Israel, after you’ve purchased the one gun you’re allowed to own, you’re given a box of 50 bullets, and that’s it. You can’t buy any ammunition anywhere, that’s your lifetime supply, although a shooting range will provide you with more, but only for use at that range. Even in countries with more relaxed gun control laws, like Switzerland and Serbia, buying ammunition requires all the same paperwork as buying a gun (mental health records, criminal records, etc) and you can only buy ammo for the gun you own. Gun control advocates in the US should consider placing an emphasis on ammunition control in addition to everything else.

God that actually makes a lot of sense

Schools threaten to punish students who join walkouts over gun control

Schools threaten to punish students who join walkouts over gun control

When you have to use the original meme to get a point across

Walk out. There is no such thing as a permanent record, but there is such a thing as ‘the entire administration gets sued and fired’.

I want to add again that schools are allowed to punish you for missing class to protest, but it has to be the standard punishment for missing class (as though you were missing for any other reason). If they would not normally suspend you for 3 days for missing class, then they cannot do it for this. It is a violation of your first amendment rights to punish you more harshly for protesting than for any other reason for an absence from class.  [source – ACLU] 

If your school is threatening you with a punishment that is beyond what would normally be given for an unexcused class absence, you should contact your local ACLU chapter. You should be able to find the standard disciplinary actions for excused and unexcused absences in your student handbook; if the punishment for protesting is different from the punishment listed in the handbook, then you need to contact that ACLU. You can find your local ACLU chapter by clicking here.
