I got one - and it’s the only conspiracy theory I give any credence to.
All of Helen Keller’s feats were utter bullshit and were a circus side show to bring money to her family. It’s the perfect “you can do anything if you just put your mind to it” fairytale. Like hell she flew an airplane, ain’t no way she wrote a book.
Before anyone provides evidence of the contrary, I will not accept it no matter how damning it is. Hence the “firmly hold.”
opens thread for stupid opinions
reads stupid opinion
gets upset an opinion is stupid
You.
Most literate people have never written a book. Blind and deaf people are not a monolith, doubting one does not automatically apply to all like you’re implying. If you’re going to criticize me, at least quote me correctly you goober. Go be needlessly upset somewhere else.
I think it was some TikTok conspiracy theory that started trending. I don’t know if people actually believe it or they’re just memeing, but I refuse to engage with those people regardless

It’s depressing to me that one of the top upvoted comments here is ‘there’s no way a deaf blind person could have been literate.’
You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.
Besides this is a safe space for batshit unprovable theories.
That sounds true but I don’t know why
Mate. Look at where you’re at. People aren’t upvoting me because I’m right, they’re upvoting me because I answered the question.
Don’t put words in my mouth. You’re just looking for an excuse to be offended.
If you meant something else by:
I’m open to hearing it. But I’m not sure how you believed that statement gave the impression you thought she was literate.

This “your evidence has no power here” is exactly the energy I was looking for lol.
That’s a wild one I like it
Yeah I was always a bit skeptical of the Hellen Keller life story as well.
At least you believe she was real unlike half the women on dating apps in this godforsaken state
…wait, do people actually think Helen Keller wasn’t real? Like fucking Santa Claus?
