Time to change IDHT
editI'm probably in the minority on this but despite its common usage in English, I'm of the opinion that using deafness or hearing loss as an analogy for stubbornness, uncooperativeness, or disruption, is disparaging towards deaf/hard-of-hearing people. I notice the name/shortcut of WP:IDHT tends to encourage the use of this analogy, and I think Wikipedia should rename it to something else. Levivich (talk) 16:24, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- It's not about "deafness or hearing loss" or inability to hear, it's about refusing to listen or plugging one's ears. IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 07:32, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- While I will grant a conflation between "plugging ears and refusing to listen" and "cannot hear" seems easy to make, I would question what could be done about that. There are many tropes for antisocial tropes that are a hop, skip, and a jump from direct characterizations of people with cognitive disabilities, et al. We can't rely on bare rhetorical proximity for these judgements, or we cede all ground of what words mean to what they could mean, rather than realizing that we have some influence over what they do mean, if that makes sense. All this said, I could always be unaware of just how close these connections are, so I'm happy for someone to educate or vibe check me, but all I can be is honest. Remsense诉 02:53, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Bludgeoning
editSurprised to see WP:BLUDGEONING not mentioned here, unless I missed it. IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 07:28, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- I think many of the editors here in Wikipedia know not what BLUDGEONING means and would say, "Bludgeon? I did not bludgeon them, they were brused before i hit them! It was a fair fight." :-) GeorgeV73GT (talk) 08:23, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
