Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat.

Felt like sharing it here because I’m sure more people should keep this kind of thing in mind.

    To them, it’s just a language.

    What is? Being deaf isn’t a language. Sign language absolutely is a language, or to be more accurate, it’s a whole class of languages, because ASL is as different from AusLan or BSL as English is from Spanish or German.

    And like any language, it’s more than just a set of definitions and rules of grammar. It carries culture.

      Yeah exactly, for them it’s about the culture, in which language is a huge factor.
