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.

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

That is not what you said. You're still moving the goal posts. You said something extreme and are stepping your position back when confronted with the reality of it.

Keep up with the gaslighting. It gets you nowhere
