"She had no clue what this woman was trying to say with her fingers and it looked silly and embarrassing for both of them."
"Being mute in Remnant was not a thing overcome. It was a thing pitied and then ignored, like debilitating injuries if you didn't have the kind of resources the Atlas elite had. It just sucked to be you and you moved on."
"In a world that wanted nothing to do with a crippled, worthless soul, only he saw something worth nurturing."
This has nothing to do with so-called "elitism" regarding a communication preference, though that comment in itself is inherently related in ableism as it positions American Sign Language as belonging to a "lesser" class. It is about the continued -- and canonically unfounded -- commentary wherein you continually endeavor to diminish. You mentioned to me previously that there's no canonical evidence for a hatred and fear of ASL, yet you continue to use her to mock the language and promote the belief that it "looks silly" and is "humiliating" to use. Now adding in words that are well known as inappropriate and ableist, and directly comparing disability to human worthlessness when her canon directly portrays her as strong, capable, and an asset to those around her is really just a step beyond.
