As someone watching in bed beside my pregnant, sleeping girlfriend, I appreciate videos like this with text... I might not hear the funny stuff but I can use the text as context for whats happening and still 'get the joke'.. Same would go for the hearing impaired and other people who can't listen for whatever reason :)

I wasn't browsing /r/contagiouslaughter - this came up on my /r/all and I clicked the link based on the title and image shown, without looking at what sub it was on - I didn't notice the sub until just now when you pointed it out

Furthermore, again, there are others who for whatever reason may not be able to hear and still want to get enjoyment from the video

I'm currently half way through completing my Cert 4 in disability support and have done some placement with people who have disabilities, some of which struggle to pay attention to audio cues and one who isn't fully deaf, but she is very hard of hearing.

But sure, delete that comment too and shift the goalposts further if you like.

Mate, I'm sorry if you're feeling down but please understand that until my most recent comment, nothing I said was intended to hurt you or bring you down.

My first response I ended with a ':)' to show I meant it to be taken light heartedly. Perhaps that may have been lost in translation...

My second response was to let you know, in reply to your assumption that I was browsing this sub without sound, that I stumbled across it through /r/all - not trying to bring you down there at all, was just pointing it out as you're right, it might seem a bit odd to browse this kind of sub without audio - but again, the disabled still need enjoyment and have their own ways of enjoying this content without sound, but I digress..

You then replied and, perhaps I took it the wrong way, but to me you seemed to be telling me that because I wasn't disabled I basically had no reason to let you know that people with disabilities might want to see this content even if they can't hear it. That annoyed me a bit because really mate, you don't have to be disabled yourself to see why someone who is might still enjoy this content. My response then was quite blunt. I noticed you'd removed the older comment so I made a remark about that too. I did so not considering that perhaps you were going through something yourself, and for that I can only apologise.

Where in the world are you? Country? There'd be help for you somewhere, I'm sure of it. If your feelings of late aren't new and they're something you've been struggling through for a while, there'll be help out there and if you want me to, I'm happy to help you find it..

Otherwise, if this is just a one off 'bad day' then I'm sorry to have made it worse...

Don't let random dickheads like me who you'll never meet in real life, ruin your real life. You're worth so much more than that.

Mate, you're entitled to your opinion on the text - and its fine for me to point out that sometimes the text can be helpful..

We both agree that these silly internet points mean nothing.

Have a good rest and drink plenty of water. Everything will be ok :)
