Ban sign language because it excludes blind people.
If they stop clapping and cheering, won’t they be offending blind people?
But if you wave your hands instead of clapping and cheering, it excludes blind people!
How terrible! Those dirty bigots!
Oh for God’s sake. If there isn’t someone there to hand sign the speech, they shouldn’t be there anyway. If there is someone doing hand signs, they should be able to participate. I’d tell those Snowflakes to shove it.
I guess the middle finger will be OK.
Ban television and movies because they discriminate against blind people.
These people have too much free time on thieir hands (so to speak). Re-education camps will be needed so that young people can properly experience the joy of work and accomplishment.
No more art shows either.
Next on the agenda: outlawing “self pleasuring” because it discriminates against double amputees.
How does it exclude deaf people? Are deaf people not allowed to clap or cheer in Brittan?
Ban breathing because it excludes dead people.
Sounds like something straight out of a Monty Python skit.
LOL, in the not too far bureaucratic future, I can see a legally mandated platform with the person doing the signing, that will be in the upper right corner of the video scoreboard, to cue them when to clap and cheer.
Along with some kind of decibel meter indicator.
And a visual message to clap and cheer.
And special equipment to be handed out to anyone who identifies as deaf (stand up, all you guys out there) which will alert you via some kind of thing when clapping or cheering occurs.
Just watch.
When I tell people that the Americans with Disabilities Act is one of the most viciously misused and abused pieces of legislation, it is the fact that this satire in my post is not that far from being not satire.
Clapping can be both seen and heard. “Jaz hands” can only be seen and therefore clearly exclude the blind.
Here as well as in America young people have too much time on their hands with no skin in the games they object to. Time to bring back the draft? or some other form of national effort so they have some skin in the game and learn to respect their countries and help rather than hurt.
We should show our appreciation by farting, that way blind and deaf and dumb people can join in equally.

(no more silly than the above proposal)
The irrationality of these ideas isn’t the point, whether the idiots propogating them realise it or not. The point is to slowly get people used to control of every aspect of their lives and freedom of expression.
In the past, people use to take up hobbies like stamp collecting, knitting, model boat building. Now the hobby seems to be to virtue signaling thru finding the most obscure thing one could construe as offensive.
Replace clapping with passing gas. After all, the deaf can listen to the fart and the blind can smell the fart.
