Deaf U is a coming-of-age reality series following a tight-knit group of Deaf students at Gallaudet University, a renowned private college for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, in Washington, D.C. As the group of friends navigate the high, lows, and hookups of college life together, their stories offer an unprecedented, unfiltered, and often unexpected look inside Deaf community.
Seriously…who asked for this? What normal person who is not a virtue signaling SJW is actually interested in watching this? If I’m going to watch something with subtitles, I’ll watch Anime which is actually good and truly varied in diverse stories with plenty of subject matter to choose from.
I try not to generalize, but it’s way too easy to do with a lot of the G+G community when it comes to folks crying about things being SJW fueled or “woke” as they’re seemingly incapable of identifying actual examples of such due to an pathetic narrow minded misunderstanding of the issues some have in regards to actual pandering and think anything outside the strict view of their idea of normalcy is a indicator and with the way you targeted something so innocuous and then dismissed it with such hostility, yeah…I’d say my “bent out of shape” assessment fits. While it’s true you didn’t say the show would be garbage, you implied as much with the statement “I’ll watch Anime which is actually good.” Which not only checks the typical G+G clown checkbox, but the anime dingbat one as well trying to compare the two strictly based on the inclusion of subtitles as if it wasn’t already commonplace in most forms of entertainment regardless of it being animated.

It doesn’t matter who asked for it, or if anyone did for that matter. You don’t know if there’s an audience for something, especially if it’s a new concept if you don’t give it a chance, and with how large the televised and streaming landscape is there’s plenty of room for such a chance to be given. There’s hundreds of thousands of shows available for us to watch, to single out something that could be a uplifting and insightful look into the lives of people living with disabilities such as this or others is yes, incredibly silly, and a real bad look for anime fans trying to push it in the same post all while being ignorant that not all reality television is garbage as lot of good stuff is unfortunately lumped in with the higher profile offerings of the genre. Sure you have shit like The Kardashians, but you also have The Last Alaskans. There’s Temptation Island, and then there’s Deadliest Catch. We don’t know the quality of the production and which way they’re gonna go with things or if it will be something that harmlessly walks the fine line between both like Alaskan Bush People or Swamp People. Which are mostly scripted affairs but showcase interesting folks and storyline elements without being exploitative. I imagine it’ll be something like Little People, Big World, myself.
But who cares?
Not in a “why does this shit exist?!” sort of way, but a live and let live mindset.
Seriously.
