Had this conversation with someone who chose to no longer be at my table after meeting a blind NPC (files.catbox.moe)

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.

Yes, but that is because they've either grown up that way or have been deaf for so long that they're fully integrated into the sub culture. In a fantasy setting, deafness would be taken care of before it could influence people culturally

    I think that disabilities would still exist, but they would be limited to the poor and lower classes who couldn't afford the magic treatments. It really depends on how commonplace magic is and varies by the setting.

    They'd force people to hear? That's not fantasy, that's authoritarian.

    Parents finding out their baby was deaf would probably pay to get that healed asap. And people born with hearing and later lose it are probably going to want that fixed.

    Also, your "argument" of gasp, authoritarianism!!!1! is nothing but a strawman and makes you look ridiculous

    You're moving the goal posts. Originally you said,

    In a fantasy setting, deafness would be taken care of before it could influence people culturally

    Now you're saying they probably would while still taking a tone of me being wrong. You can't agree with me that deaf people would exist while still acting like I'm wrong.

    Also, what you described earlier is akin to eugenics. Forcefully fixing alleged disabilities without consent is absolutely authoritarian.

    So a parent is wrong for wanting to fix their child's disabilities? You're actually insane if you believe that, and I hope you never have children
