I am baffled as to how this helps improve accessibility.
It's because most audiences clap low down toward the lap, which isn't very visual.
Dam right!Bring back caning, casual beatings and coal mines, country was so much better back then.
I never knew people were so enthusiastic about what happens at Students Union meetings.
I was never really sure what the Students Union did even when I was at Uni to be fair.Must be more pressing things to discuss, worry about? Are they really that fragile?
I genuinely feel sorry for then.

You mean there was no ethnic diversity?the only thing dark in my student union was the night club.
Seen it happen loads of times, long before this thread came up!Also clapping above your head at the theatre. Yeah sounds like a great plan. lol.
What, like the loud noises you'd find in concerts and movies anyway?Also how does your clapping above the head account for the people who get anxiety from loud noises?
Firstly - Where's the challenge in that?Or here's the most sane option. Stop trying to cater for absolutely everything because it's impossible and just go with the universally accepted thing that anyone who can hit something against something else can do, which is clap.
Oh ye of no military mindset or vision....because we'd have to immediately surrender to any declaration of war to avoid triggering the mentally weak.
ISTR he ended up becoming a killer in the end, too. Just needed the right motivation.It's like that type writer dude in saving private Ryan.
Never heard that. Which one(s)?Which is seen as a sign of derision in some cultures.
But if people typically clap at or below chest height and you're in a darkened auditorium, how is that easily seen?I just typed "audience clapping" into google, it seems pretty apparent that the audiences are clapping in the resulting images.
What, the one I already covered by just combining the noise of clapping, with doing it overhead so deaf people can clearly see what the blind people hear?I also think the point @Mason- made about blind people is valid.
More pressing, yes, but since that means talking to the local council about drains, I'd rather argue some random ******** on here today!!Must be more pressing things to discuss, worry about?

So clap fast?I wasn't making a serious point but in some tribal cultures, etc. the overhead slow clap is seen negatively often used to show disinterest or as a put down, etc.
I think we offer far greater offence every time a new fad dance craze comes out, TBH!!it is pretty niche was more that you are always going to offend someone
But the challenge is to find something that isn't so much of a compromise upon normal society.not to say we should go the opposite way and show no consideration but that there are limits to how far we should alter something that is a society "normal".
These things start creeping out into wider society in 5-10years especially when the wider public are too polite to question its merits.I never knew people were so enthusiastic about what happens at Students Union meetings.
