#1 there is no insult provided to you. He said use a Mic. If you were mute that would be different. Some deaf folks can speak with their mouths. In such an instance making call outs is still useful. And the rest of the raid use text messages. I am sure a deaf person would be aware of what allowances they need to have made for them.
#2 I have to call BS on deaf gamers being better because they can't hear. That is a load of crap. Most enemies are audio cued in modern games. Not being distracted by background noise provides no more advantage than tuning out background noise. Every decent gamer can tune out distractions.
If you are actually deaf and not just trolling I do feel bad that you will never hear a lovers voice, a symphony orchestra, a child's laughter, or the sound the waves make of the beach.
But your disability does not give you the right to pick fights where no obvious insult or offense was given.
Try not to be offended by things so easily. If they had said " f deaf people they are useless" then you have cause to complain.
As it was they suggested using misc to communicate.
