As you mention Blind Fury, do you know of the Zatoichi movie franchise [1], which is about a blind swordsman wandering Japan around the Edo to Meiji period? Really good films! (Blind Fury is a reimagining of the 17th movie in the series, Zatoichi Challenged.)
Not self conscious at all my dude (I'm not one of those insensitive woke people who get off on making everybody feel like shit to try and elevate themselves at all costs), glad I made you chuckle. How do you consume movies? I didn't know that the ̶a̶c̶c̶u̶r̶s̶e̶d̶ "visually impaired" do that. Dope.
Don't know why I'm surprised. I bet blind fury would watch movies somehow too. Also, you should obviously change your username. :)
P.S. - Daredevil sucks so bad it makes me wish I was blind. You aren't missing out on anything there.
See No Evil, Hear No Evil is a classic. Yet another example of something great that currently wouldn't get made.
I've decided I want a blind friend. Prank potential off the charts.
Hehe, thanks, I know about Blind Fury, Daredevil, and See No Evil, Hear No Evil...
As I am embedded in a visual culture, I do consume movies from time to time, so there is actually no reason to be self-conscious about mentioning media products like that...
The realization that it would be pointless, alas, came to me too late. Let me just give you a taste:
While serving in Vietnam, American soldier Nick Parker was blinded by a mortar explosion. Rescued by local villagers, he recovered his health and, though he remains blind, was trained to master his other senses and becomes an expert swordsman.
So, he wears 80s sunglasses and wields a goddamn katana. He is also a hobo. Like Caine from Kong Fu he roams the earth and lowlifes always pick fights with him because they underestimate his... err... blind fury.
There's an "adorable" little kid and one dimensional baddies and the character is masterfully portrayed by one of the best b-movie actors of all time -- Rutger Hauer (best known for the best bit of Blade Runner).
Anyway I think it is a shame woke imbeciles who run movie studios would refuse to make such a thing today because when I saw it as a kid it made me realize being blind is really not the end of the world.
For example here you are posting on HN and your insights about society are more astute than the majority of the population. So I just wanted to say that you certainly see what is going on accurately.
P.S. - if you wish to visualize the language police people, they typically look like vogons and pull ugly faces when they speak.

I was going to recommend a masterpiece of cinema to you called Blind Fury: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_Fury
