The most tone deaf lawsuit in history;

Would ask to refrain from subtle ableism there.

First off, I was quoting from the article.

Secondly, whilst I take your point, I genuinely think this phrase is related to singing out of tune rather than towards people with hearing impairments.

But happy to refrain from using this expression out of context in the future.

In hindsight, I should have checked, sorry for jumping on like that.

Even with that, it still a problematic phrase to use toward those who sing out of tune.
