Para sa mga tumatawa doon sa sign language insets sa newscast dahil mukhang TikTok daw: Alam nyo ba kung ilang dekada na ipinaglaban yan ng Deaf community? It’s one thing to be ignorant, another to be rude and insensitive. Filipino sign language is an important part...
...of their culture. Yung mga interpreter mismo na-insulto. Paano pa kaya yung mga kababayan nating Deaf na dyan lang umaasa para malaman ang nangyayari sa lipunan? Yang pagtawa nyo katumbas ng pambabastos sa Philippine Flag para sa kanila. Mag-isip naman kayo bago magcomment.
Follow-up to my first tweet in this thread. For those who haven’t seen the posts of netizens making fun of the insets. I cropped out names kasi may mga nag-public apology na. I still believe na ignorance is not an excuse. Intindihin nyo muna bago nyo pagtawanan ang isang bagay.
Sharing some viral posts about this issue as additional context for my thread. One is from a sign language interpreter and the other from a member of the Deaf community. This is why they feel they are being ridiculed:
