Her saying “you don’t sound deaf” is wild His quick “you don’t look ignorant but you can’t judge a book I guess” comeback was amazing.

[@RealElongatedMuskrat]

would've been such a slam dunk if the actor was actually part of the deaf community and not a hearing guy playing a deaf part, but given the 2000s of it all I would've been more surprised if he actually was deaf 😅. Weirdly, even though "you don't sound deaf" is absolutely a crazy thing to say, the vocal tones and enunciations that are characteristic of some deaf people's speaking voice is actually called a deaf accent! Handy for anyone to know if they ever feel a bit unsure on how to go about mentioning that, because "deaf accent" is the actual name but it's sort of like the name "little people" I guess - if you don't know about the community's preferred language and you earnestly don't want to offend but you don't know the wording to use, it could sound offensive in your head but that's the actual name. lol.

As a disabled person, that comment was extremely accurate. I can't even count how many times I've had people tell me I don't look disabled. Even when I tell people I'm struggling, they'll be like "doesn't seem like you're struggling to me". Her saying "you don't sound deaf" was for real the most realistic part of that entire movie

Yeahhh my best friend and I didn't talk or hang out for 2 years and then we somehow got back to hanging out almost weekly. But we didn't go to the same class and then I was out of school a long time so it's not that unbelievable that we'd grow distant. She also had her reasons at the time. True friends are the ones you can be apart from a long while and then come back to like barely anything happened.

[@BrittanyRoxxxx]

As a girl who loved Bratz growing up, I have decided that The Cheetah Girls is actually the best representation of live action Bratz dolls. A diverse group girls living in an urban setting who are tight knit due to their music group, but still have their own interests and backgrounds. Their differences/competing interests causes strife between them in organic ways (not like just choosing to sit at different lunch tables lol), but ultimately prioritize their friendship in the end. In the sequels, they have international adventures. The characters are pretty comparable to the Bratz: Galleria = Sasha, Dorinda = Chloe, Chanel = Yasmin, Aqua = Jade? (Aqua isn't Asian though, and she's the most underdeveloped character of the group, so she's kinda the odd one out.) Would be interesting to have had The Cheetah Girls (2003) vs. Life-Size (2000) - a fairer match up I think! Bratz live action should have been compared Life-Size 2 because that one is trash lol

[@KattReen]

It does, and people DO say that kind of stuff in real life. Disabled people get doubted in their disability all the time for not "looking blind" or "sounding deaf". At best it is ignorant and disrespectful, at worst disabled people actually face discrimination by having their accomodation or access taken away. Ie being thrown out of a restaurant because of your service animal, because you looked at the person when they spoke to you and therefore must be a person with perfect vision faking it. Not like there are millions of people of various level of eyesight who would not be able to safely navigate their world without glasses or anything to help an able bodied person understand that perhaps legal blindness does not always mean 100% full darkness in the same way that some people who wear glasses can actually see pretty well at certain distances or by straining their eyes.

When my dad died last year, he'd left a letter for me wherein he spoke about having regrets about focusing on his career so much in the 90s and early 2000s and not being around as much as he thought he should have.
