These comments Iām seeing is why I say Deaf people in media needs to be normalize. The exact reason why I went on the show.
The plan seeks to ensure āmeaningful representation and inclusion for all underrepresented groups, including performers with disabilities in series regular, guest star or co-starring roles in current series and pilotsā variety.com/2022/tv/news/cbsā¦

I need a deaf / hard of hearing actor / actress (all genders, ethnicities & disabilities) who is *fluent in ASL* available in May 1-9 in New York City. Travel & board NOT included. Know anyone? Email at [email protected] with your info (resume, reel, work samples).
First hashflag* with a hearing aid? š¤ #HawkeyeĀ
*The name for the little emojis that automatically appear after some hashtags!
ALT Enlarged hashflag - small, stylized emoji illustration - with an arrow pointing to Hawkeyeās left ear. It is hard to see but appears to be a hearing aid. It is āfilled inā and has a wire/ tube going over to the back of the ear.
GREAT to see more deaf journalists in newsrooms! Congrats, @AlisonStine!

#Eternals actress Lauren Ridloff says she thinks the film is about to completely redefine what it means to be a superhero
Donāt *love* āhearing difficultiesā but the rest is great news!!
I am proud to announce that @AMCTheatres permanently will offer some Open Caption showtimes each week. Well marked on our web site and mobile app. A real advance for those with hearing difficulties or where English is a second language. And right in time for Eternals from @Disney
Exciting, and important! "We recognise the need for change and we hope that in coming together the BBC and Netflix have created a funding model which will help level the playing field for deaf, disabled and neurodivergent creators in the UK." bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2021/bā¦

ALT Screen grab of video from Entertainment Weekly showing Lauren Ridloff (slight but fit Black woman, who looks young) in a fighting stance. The photo is in black and white with gold elements that are all in in the costume, which looks like a very flexible armor, with seams showing that are often gold, and gold cuffs. Her hair is in multiple braids and she has a determined expression. The background is grayscale and seems to be a field with mountains in the distance. She is facing a light source.

Without having seen CODA yet, and having read some reviews, I am confident that I can guess how it goes.
Here's my pre-viewing analysis of CODA:

āSo often, whether filmmakers or producers or studios are intimidated by having deaf cast or they don't know how to make their sets accessible, they're missing out on this brilliant performer.ā npr.org/2021/08/08/102512405ā¦

Did you know that if you have a disabled character you can cast a disabled actor and you donāt have to make their disability the entirety of their characterization.
