because reading doesn't always convey the same real time emotion that speaking does. you know how you raise your voice, or pause to let a point sink in, or change your pitch when asking a question? you know how you can convey emotions like sorrow, anger, or excitement in tone alone? that's what they're doing with asl.  why are you people so obsessed with safe spaces?  > their gesticulation and face makes me uncomfortable, remove it before i reeeeee truly feminine left take.
