Lol ~Assault freak not too serious on the yelling attacks point, though your right about beatemups, I still remember standing in the back of an arcade in the nineties listening to the constant yells of "hadoken! Hadoken! Shoryuken! Yoga fire, Sonic boom" " before I got close enough to see what was going on and realized what all of that meant .
Btw, just came back to this topic because I had an interesting thought. As I said in the stephen King topic and the monthly chat topic I've just finished The Stand and finished writing a review.
There are no blind characters in that book, but there is a deaf character who starts off as comparatively realistic, having to have others read notes for him and not able to talk (I love the scene where he breaks a telephone in frustration of being able to contact anyone since that's probably something I'd do in his place). But then he winds up a sort of mystical semi ghost super deaf person.
In the past I imagine representations of deaf characters were probably about as off as those of blind characters, but it seems that increasingly these days being deaf is being cool, while being blind isn't, ---- I even read a paper published this year which listed five examples of "positive portrayals of disabled identity", three of them of death people, and the other two autistic, oh and yes,it was a pretty crappy paper, albeit I do have a rather interesting book on representations of blindness and theory of knolidge to read which looks significantly better (I'll report if it says anything sensible).
