Clapping as been banned at a leading universty's students' union "to avoid triggering anxiety".
The University of Manchester Students' Union passed the resolution to ban clapping at student union events at the first Senate session of the academic year on September 27, according to student newspaper the Mancunion.
"It was argued that the loud noise of traditional clapping and whooping pose an issue to students with anxiety or sensory issues. BSL clapping – or, jazz hands – would be a more inclusive form of expression," the paper said.
Jazz hands is the British Sign Language for clapping.

So looking like a spaz is more acceptable than clapping? Please let me wake up from this nightmare.
I swear, when they flipped the switch on the Large Hadron Collider just over 10 years ago, we must have slipped into an alternate dimension.

I used to watch reruns of “The Roy Rogers Show” but had to stop because I got triggered by Trigger.

So don’t clap. Make the deaf sign for clapping.
What’s the deaf sign for bonkers/insane?

For people who believe in the theory of evolution they sure as are trying hard for the propagation of the incredibly weak minded. If someone is that terribly damaged emotionally they are not qualified for most positions in society.
