Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat.

Felt like sharing it here because I'm sure more people should keep this kind of thing in mind.

I don't know if you're trolling, but the most obvious one to me is loss of hearing.

Cochlear implants restore hearing. The deaf community strongly argues against cochlear implants because many are pre-lingually deaf (they were deaf before they could talk, so they only know sign language) and see it as discrimination- taking away the thing that makes the culture work. Also, not everyone can afford them (though it's getting better).

Not to mention, as I understand it, the implants are not 100% effective and can cause pain, fairly substantially on both

I'm no expert, but as I understand, culture and cost aren't the only reasons to turn down the implants
