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.

    Font - AITA for making a joke about my brother's looks to his blind gf? I (22M) have an older brother (27M) who's been dating this girl (around same age) for quite some time. My brother wasn't as lucky in the gene pools as me and he isn't someone you'd consider conventionally attractive. He's a good guy, just not lucky with girls or dating in general. Well, his girlfriend is blind (and also the hottest girl my brother has managed to pick up) and yesterday they've had a family gathering to announ

    Font - My brother's gf started saying how lucky she is that she'd found a man like my brother, as most men she'd met were only interested in having s with her and didn't want to be tied down to a blind person and I made a joke about how most women wouldn't even look at my brother, so he's also just as lucky that he found someone like her. I thought people would laugh at my joke, but instead it just created an awkward atmosphere and my brother just looked embarrassed. Soon enough the

    Font - gathering ended and my parents approached me to say that I was out of line with what I said about my brother, especially knowing how much he struggled with insecurity issues when it comes to his looks and that I should apologize to him for ruining such a celebratory moment for him. I don't understand how my joke could've ruined my brother's moment, especially cause I've always made jokes about his looks an he'd always laugh them off, but my parents insist I apologize to him for what I sai

    Font - Encartrus. 1d Professor Emeritass [86] 4 Awards God, you are that You put down your brother AND his partner at the same time. What you said: "He doesn't stand a chance with anyone but a blind girl, and blind girl is too blind to realize she's been duped." You called them both losers at the same time, as a response to them declaring their love to eachother and during a party celebrating their child, which (you also just implied) will now have the same ugly traits as your brother in proxy.

Yeah, OP, that's a real head scratcher. YTA. ... 1k ↓

    Font - loneOstrich • 1d Partassipant [1] YTA Why do you think it's appropriate to joke about your brothers insecurities? Why is your head so far up your ass that you think you're so much better looking than him? And worst of all, why did you think it was appropriate to imply to his blind girlfriend that the only reason he was with her was because she couldn't tell what he looked like? Reply 3.1k

    Font - Bitter-Conflict-4089 1d Professor Emeritass [97] He doesn't. Anyone who actually did feel good about themselves would never make a comment like that. OP knows that his brother is far superior to him in every way that matters. 395

    Font - ceruleancrescent. 1d Partassipant [1] He's jealous of his brother, and I also think it's fair to guess that he's attracted to his brother's girlfriend too and is malding inside because he probably believes on some level his brother doesn't "deserve" her from the way he talks about them both. What a skeevy asshole. ... 280
