I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to date as a blind person. I’m sure every hack has a hot take about who would date a blind person, and they’re all pretty insulting. “This guy is so ugly; he could only pull a blind chick!” “Good thing he can’t see her because if he could, he’d be in for a rude awakening.” News flash: blind people are not clueless about the nuances of attractiveness just because they do not experience sight the same way sighted people do. Blindness does not make people oblivious to insulting comments about their partner’s appearance or their intelligence.
Unfortunately, some people are clueless about what crosses the line of social acceptability, including Redditor u/RichAtmosphere745. He thought it would be a good idea to insult his brother’s looks in front of his blind girlfriend after she announced her pregnancy. Luckily, the people of Reddit graciously informed him of what a villain he was.
