I’m not blind or deaf, but the deaf community in particular has… a reputation…
I worry that so much of these “communities” exist as a cope for a shitty lot in life. Deaf community in particular has elements which are very hostile to correcting deafness.
And frankly, if I ended up going blind, don’t be surprised to find me lose the will to keep living if it’s uncorrectable. I wouldn’t blame anyone in this world who’d make that choice.

I mean... that's what they are, in some ways? I don't see how coping is a bad thing?
