I think this is a terrible and ridiculous idea. likely to create in-groups and out-groups and do more bad than good.

While you are willing to go down these paths have you considered sign-language representations? I am unfamiliar with them other than knowing they are there.

The in-group, out-group thing is a hazard I admit. Again, I'm not demanding this be accepted, but merely offering out the idea for feedback, and I appreciate the criticism.

I haven't had a chance to properly learn sign-language, so I don't know if there are appropriate representations, but I can look into this.
