To the people who are complaining about tonight& #39;s episode of EastEnders, you worry me. How could you be so selfish and emotionally void to not be able to sympathise with someone with a disability?
How can you complain about the sound and subtitles when you voluntarily watched it for half an hour?

That& #39;s some deaf people& #39;s entire daily life. 24/7, never-ending.
The sound is supposed to be grating, it& #39;s supposed to be difficult to understand. That& #39;s the fucking point!
"How does it represent deaf people if we& #39;re just reading it all anyway?"

It& #39;s clearly shown as broken dialogue showing how Ben can lip read, but it& #39;s not a clear form of communication.
Fuck me... end of thread. Just had to express my feelings about the small-minded people who I& #39;m seeing tweets from.
