Everything’s NOT fine. If you don’t know a language, stop posting music covers. ASL is its own language with a culture, community, and history. For music interpretation we do it conceptually NOT word for word, that’s English leaning to PSE which isn’t a language but a dialect-like tool. Learning your signs wrongly and not turning to the deaf for help is ableist. Blocking and mocking deaf/hoh people for OUR language protection because of all the oralism and audist trauma we’ve gone through is straight up wrong, insensitive, and disrespectful. If you want to monetize it, at least pick up on a bunch of ASL courses and learn the history/get certified, then we talk. 🤦🏻♀️It’s not that we don’t want you to learn, it’s so much more than that we want you to learn it while also keeping in mind reliable sources and culture/history. All we ask is for you to be respectful and learn from the deaf and certified.
