lol.
That is all I can say at this point.

I'm sure most young people find it equally ridiculous. Well I hope so.
It makes 0 sense. The idea that you do jazz hands instead of clapping is because what? Clapping makes a sound which they can't hear? So we do something visual instead by waving our hands, except clapping does have the benefit of the visual movement of the hands and the noise? It's completely ******* pointless. This reduces the applause it doesn't add anything.If people look about for the actual story rather than just trigger responding it looks like it's just for Student Union events and in line with BSL to be more inclusive.

The ease at which people lose their collective over non-stories is hilarious.
Looks like plenty have been reeled in, you lot are funny.
It's because most audiences clap low down toward the lap, which isn't very visual. The obvious answer would be to clap above the head, making it highly visual but retaining the noise for those who can hear it.Clapping makes a sound which they can't hear?
Doesn't work. Makes it worse. Everyone turns evil. Scientists have proven, studies have shown, blah blah blah. Evidence all posted in the other thread.Bring back caning, casual beatings and coal mines, country was so much better back then.

But I'm sure there will be those with arm-raising impariments or one hand, or something, who will be championed by the Students...
Again, low down, can't see.Do jazz hands, because deaf people can't hear clapping, even though they can see it.
Deaf people can't see people clapping their hands? What are they doing it in their pockets? If you're standing up people usually bring there hands together at chest level, pretty high. And if everyone's seated it's in their laps, which again everyone can see. It's such a farcical argument.Again, low down, can't see.
Suggestion for improvement already made, but if you'd rather just rant against whatever then the Student Union is still accepting members...
No more than visually unimpaired people can read forum posts...Deaf people can't see people clapping their hands?
At a concert, movie or theatre, in the dark - Most people in the audience wouldn't see that anyway, and if you're on stage with the lights in your face too, all you'll see is a bunch of silhouetted heads and shoulders in rows.If you're standing up people usually bring there hands together at chest level, pretty high.

Yes, I'm going to ignore it just like you already ignored what I already said to cover that.What about blind people, or are you just going to conveniently ignore that point that now jazz handing alienates them?
Yeah all those things that go on in a student union, the only thing dark in my student union was the night club. And it's a nightclub good luck regulating peoples behaviour in there.At a concert, movie or theatre, in the dark - Most people in the audience wouldn't see that anyway, and if you're on stage with the lights in your face too, all you'll see is a bunch of silhouetted heads and shoulders in rows.
So no, not farcical in the slightest.
Whether people think it pointless or not it's official BSL.
There's no story here.
Lol no association with them or BSL.Then why ban clapping? Are you on the board at the uni? You seem eager to downplay this.
It's alright, we'll all be under a brutal Russian rule within a few generations if the British people have become this soft because we'd have to immediately surrender to any declaration of war to avoid triggering the mentally weak.
