>the people here would likely bantz about it
Perhaps I'm just soft but the idea of "bantz"ing someone who's clearly nervous doesn't sit well with me.
In fact I'm not super fond of bantz at all.
I just like to be comforting and cuddly and soothing.

If this leads to the day when the mute person manages to briefly utter a very hushed "hi", that'll make me very happy.
Or even if they don't talk, the less hesitant they are to communicate in whatever way is most comfortable for them, the better.

[spoiler]Base requirement to be a successful mute is a cute avatar. Nobody, and unfortunately myself included will be able to bring themselves to engage much with a mute TF2 scout or some shit.[/spoiler]
