@vcgriffin well sure
-
@mushi Though I was going to make an assertion that there are no disabled ponies, but Scoot's, Stellar Eclipse and Derpy show thats not true. Not a Magical fix for everything.
-
@vcgriffin maybe they just dotn want to be fixxed because they are happy with they way they are because there is no patriarchy in equestria
-
@mushi and thats why I dont want to talk to the 'Deaf Community' .
-
@vcgriffin Yeah, I knew, I don't know Why i put p a question mark. :L I remembered the one with the walker.
-
@metaltao but they are happy with themselves for the reasons i've explained
-
@mushi But..... Ok, Ill be happy when I get there. But I still worry about the journey. ok.
-
@metaltao well, i think i got the the wrong context
-
@vcgriffin not that its what I meant either. But from what we see Equestria is more laid back about a bunch of stuff. So i guess, Disability, if that have it, is better dealt with too.
-
@metaltao Its me. 100% this time. Its just no BSL (ASL) for ponies I guess. But whenever I try to approach the issue, it especially deafness, it goes to more militant parts of wanting to be fixed vs being part of a special community rather than wanting to be part of society.

@mushi I Agree with what you said, and started reading this, "2.1 Disabled People Patriarchy in the UK: The Language of Disability" Clarke, Marsh 2002 (http://disability-studies.leeds.ac.uk/files/library/Clark-Laurence-language.pdf )
But this is just what makes me afaid of asking others.......
"The Deaf people’s movement largely does not identify with the term
‘disabled people’, instead adopting a cultural model and defining themselves as a
linguistic minority. Corker (2002) defines Deaf people as “that group of people with
hearing impairments who are excluded from the dominant areas of social and cultural
reproduction by the perpetuation of a phonocentric world-view.” Deaf people too have
adopted a capital ‘D’ in order to politicise the word."
