Apparently, according to the OP, people who are blind would find this AMA amusing. What are your thoughts on this? (self.AMA)

OP is an ass hole. Good work on some low hanging fruit bottom of the barrel uncreative humour lt-ravan you prick.
Lt-Lavan 0 points 4y ago
Thanks! I am sorry if this was offensive (not saying it wasn't) but check my most recent post for what the op of this post said to me.
Lt-Lavan -4 points 4y ago
Nevermind, since I can't post screenshots, I'll paraphrase
Chad_JG: "When my partner comes home, I'll find your address and post it all over the internet"
Me: Alright fbi man
Chad_JG: 👍

You continued to mock me after I told you I was visually impaired, dude. You now reckon you have learnt the error of your ways? I don’t think so.
People can read our exchanges on the post and make up their own minds. Don’t cherry pick one part and use it to represent our conversation.

Lighten up, Nancy. We thought it was pretty funny.
Chad_JH 6 points 4y ago
Why shouldn’t people be able to be open about how they’re feeling? He can make jokes about blind people and mock them if they get upset about him doing so, so why can’t we be offended by it and voice our disapproval? Freedom of speech both ways.

OP is for sure an asshole. It wasn't just one joke in bad taste and he's spreading myths about blindness. Say sorry and move on buddy. Stop trying to defend yourself. You have to be very careful if you are going to make jokes about anyone who is different from you. Clearly you haven't developed that skill yet.
Raf_AL 6 points 4y ago
Op didn't post any evidence, so he basicly broke the rules of r/ama
If he thinks it's fun to joke about blindness, he might as well keep asking dumb questions for blind people on r/askreddit.
In my opinion, this was not a fun post, even if he thinks it's satirical.

Also sorry you didn't find it funny or amusing
Lt-Lavan 0 points 4y ago
Hi I'm op. I thought it was clear it was satire, but It wasn't. I'm sorry. But I have noe changed the post to read satire, and have posted information in the comments on how blind peeps use reddit. Hope that helps. A few did enjoy it, but this op certainly did not.
This was my response to this post, but since I blocked him, I couldn't exactly defend myself.
Again, this was satire as I stated in the comment thread. You then responded after a long argument with "When my partner gets back I'll find your IP address and post it all over the internet". And I stand firm on the thought that this may be amusing to blind folk. Not the blind part, but the replies to certain comments. If you don't like this, I'm happy to listen.

I didn't even respond to that thread dude. You've probably not read the username of the one who posted that.
Satire is okay. This was just rude, since sighted people usually type random letters, because they assume blind people can't use computers.

Nonono. I'm sorry again, the second part of that comment was addressed to the person who posted this specific post, we argued on that thread, and then he said he would find my ip, so I blocked him. When he posted this, I couldn't respond back. I'm sorry, most of the comment doesn't have to do with you, it was because of that comment thread. Also, sorry. What I said was uneducated and yes, rude.
Raf_AL 2 points 4y ago
I'm glad that you see errors of your ways, and I'm sorry if you had to deal wit so many angry messages.
You tried to be funny, and it backfired, which you probably didn't expect to happen.
We all make mistakes. That's what makes us human.

I thought that was hilarious. My blind wife thought it was hilarious. Despite the people that are too easily offended, we think this is funny.
Lt-Lavan 1 points 4y ago
Thanks. It's good to hear this was genuinely funny to some people.
brimstone_tea 3 points 4y ago
Asshole.
Lt-Lavan 1 points 4y ago
Id read what the op of this post said to me before he posted this. And yes, it was kinda shitty, but that don't mean I'm happy a few people enjoyed this.
Chad_JH 1 points 4y ago
Agreed.
He’s now trying to get sympathy from r/Blind by saying I was nasty to him after he continued to mock me after I told him I was visually impaired. Yet he’s apparently seen the error of his ways.
If he was genuinely remorseful, he would remove it.

It's a shitty joke and the op is an asshole. Doesn't matter if it's 'satire'.
Chad_JH 1 points 4y ago
He’s claiming to be a victim now because apparently I was nasty to him. Lol.
Chad_JH 3 points 4y ago
I agree. I wondered if maybe I was taking it too seriously, but it just doesn’t seem right. When I voiced discomfort with it, I was told I need to learn to take a joke.
They seem to be posting some serious answers now that I’ve cross-posted this (although some of what they’ve cross-posted is misinformation), but I don’t know why they think they have a right to pretend to speak for us, or why they would initially post it as a form of comedy in the first place.

The post has apparently been removed, because the message op wrote to me said he had added some info. However, it reads deleted, where that information should have been.
Lt-Lavan 1 points 4y ago
Has it? I'm going back and forth and seeing the post normally. I'm honestly sorry if you can't see it.
Raf_AL 1 points 4y ago
Sorry m8. it's removed on my screen.
Lt-Lavan 1 points 4y ago
Sorry bout that. Not sure what happened. I definetley didn't delete it
Chad_JH 2 points 4y ago
I think if he was genuinely sorry he would remove it. Especially given he told me to basically get over it and mocked me when I said it made me uncomfortable.
ratadeacero -5 points 4y ago
Just because you're offended doesn't mean others don't think it's funny.
Chad_JH 1 points 4y ago
That’s very true. There are going to be people who find it amusing but also many who do not. That’s why I cross-posted it asking for people’s thoughts on it and voiced my own.
Becoming visually impaired is a newer and very distressing experience for me and I’ve had very little support. So I guess OP making fun of me directly after I told him I didn’t find it funny pushed my buttons.
I don’t think it’s very respectful of you to say people within the blind community who don’t find it amusing are uptight, too easily offended or need to lighten up, though, as you’ve stated in your other comments. You can feel free to disagree, of course.
Anyway, my comment was basically saying if he was genuinely remorseful for what he said and didn’t believe it was funny anymore like he claims, he would remove it. Perhaps my perspective is off, but that’s the way I view it.

Fair enough. In our household, nothing is sacred. Vision loss sucks. We deal with it by making jokes. Of course we joke about all sorts of sacred cows.
Chad_JH 1 points 4y ago
I’m glad you’ve found a coping mechanism that works for you :)
-shacklebolt- 1 points 4y ago
Alright that’s quite enough of this.

No, that’s not what I was saying, and no, I’m not going to stop communicating here because you don’t like it.
cookieinaloop 1 points 4y ago
I thought it was an actual AMA. Went look it up and it's just a troll. I'm sorry, I should have checked it out before replying here.
Chad_JH 1 points 4y ago
It’s all good :)
noaimpara 1 points 4y ago
That’s just not funny like I see the comedic intent but they sound like a 12 years old who doesn’t know the difference between humor and just doing stupid stuff
Lt-Lavan 0 points 4y ago
Well I'm 15 so you're not that far off from the truth!
noaimpara 1 points 4y ago
15 years old is just the right age to still look like a moron but to not be excused because of your age anymore
Lt-Lavan 1 points 4y ago
Yup. And I'm not gonna ask anyone to excuse me of that shit tier post. My original idea was to have the funny parts based around the replies more so than the conversation and title
noaimpara 1 points 4y ago
No i mean i get the comedic intent and what you were going for it’s just not funny
The thing with blind humor is that it is so daln repetitive so the blind people hearing the joke are like ah. Yes. Hilarious. Ha. Ha. Ha. Never heard this one wow. And the sighted people who wanted genuine answers are gonna be annoyed at that instead of an answer they got a low quality joke
But again it’s really not that deep, people are getting heated about it but honestly, it’s just not funny, it’s not offensive or anything so who cares

I think people who don’t like this kind of humor need to calm down.
I understand humor is different for everyone but You don’t need to read the post.

Why is it wrong to voice how we feel about it? He can make jokes about blind people and mock them when they get upset about it, and we can say he’s an asshole for doing so. Freedom of speech both ways.
bradley22 1 points 4y ago
It’s not wrong, you are allowed to say what you like but so am I
I feel that if people are going to get offended they can move on.
No one is making you read the post.

Exactly; everyone is allowed to say what they want, including offended people, they don’t have to move on or stop reading if they don’t want to.

True.
