Sign the petition! Stuttering is no joke!
Do you think jokes about stammering are funny? People who stammer (PWS) like myself go through a huge amount of emotional and physical turmoil in most speaking situations. To be ridiculed, teased, mocked and made fun about that does not help in any way and can cause emotional damage. People who stammer should not be stereotyped as being nervous, stupid or low in confidence. I respect my listener and I expect to be respected as well. There are several videos on Youtube about stammering that has been classified under “Comedy”. I have signed a petition asking that these videos be reclassified.
Anybody that would like to support me and other PWS on this viewpoint can sign the petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/nojoke/petition.html.
I would never wish a day of blocking on anybody………it’s not funny.
