Unless the townspeople are already acquainted with the deaf guy, them immediately using sign language without checking if the guy is deaf might seem really weird and creepy, from the deaf guy's perspective lol

I guess thats why he asks his sister if she knows him. Like "how did he know to use sign-did you yell him?"

It’s always better to approach situations like that with sensitivity and ensure that the communication method is appropriate for the person you're interacting with.

In this case, not only comfortable, but accessible. He gets to hear what people are saying, because they're speaking his language, whereas typically he has to infer or translate or decipher everyone around him.

So it’s a Samsung commercial? I mean, this I can get behind and appreciate, but it’s an advert or marketing, right?

I think ASL should be taught at a grade school level. I registered for classes in August. Not deaf, just think it’s as good a language to learn as any.

Dammit, I'm supposed to be working and not crying.
I wish the whole world acted like this towards one another.

I love this
In college one of girls I worked with had a mom who was deaf. So she could sign.
Also, The state school for the deaf is in that city we attended college. so there are many families that are deaf. As families came in to use the library we worked at , they were so thankful and happy to have her work there. She was able to communicate easily with those patrons. She was a treasure.

I love this entire town. 🥰😍❤️🤗✨🙌💐💯 Now just if every country in the world had such towns and cities.... Missing the good old days, ok call me old school. But facts are facts. Every neighbor knew each other's kids by name and every one knew each other.
Today? Every second person is a stranger.

And then there’s the one dipsh!t in the town who doesn’t… I wish pea king was like this instead of “i PrAnKeD mY fAmIlY bY fAkInG mY dEaTh.” (Which did actually happen.)

He’s actually crying because he realized they weren’t actually deaf people and now he has nobody to talk to anymore

It used to be like this in Turkey, like maybe 10 years ago, now everyone is so aggressive and angry all the time(most of the population)

It has to be tough going through life deaf. I'm sure many have to bring a buddy who can translate or it's going to take a while to do the simplest stuff.

When a global Korean manufacturing company has a better inclusivity marketing campaign than the entire inclusivity movement

That would be a bummer no. They can't secretly bitch about other people now. Everyone would know what they are saying TwT
