Haha, I knew someone would make this point, although you certainly did so facetiously. Coming off as blind is one thing, not being able to actually film a scene is another. Yes, his looking the wrong way in real life would certainly lend credence to the idea that the person is blind. Looking the wrong way on film ruins a scene.
Quote:Seriously though, whole thing is silly. I don't think it's a PC thing, though, or political. I think it's a problem inherent in the growing multitude of foundations, groups, think tanks, etc., that like to collect a large chunk of money for basically promoting ridiculous ideas. Pick an agenda (or two), start barking (easier to do now with social media circumventing traditional media) and wait for a few donors with deep pockets who think the way you do. Like sponsored social causes.
Pretty much this. The grievance machine certainly lends itself to this.
