This show made me realize just how much better Japan handles disability in media compared to America. Anime in general tends to handle it very well and with sympathy, while also not treating it like some horrible thing that will ruin a person's chance of having a good life. This show and "A Silent Voice" both show the lives of Deaf people really well. One showed the downsides of growing up with the disability and what prejudice that can bring, and one shows a girl who grew up with people who simply helped her and looked out for her, allowing her to live a mostly normal life. Then you got America where a character's Neuro-divergence or physical disability is often used as the butt of a joke, like in The Big Bang Theory or Family Guy.

To be fair, Family Guy pokes fun literally everything. Nothing should be off-limits in comedy, as long as the jokes are done properly. Family Guy is essentially about mocking stereotypes by exagerrating them to the point of absurdity. With BBT, you have a different approach, where the jokes are small and casual, no different to how friends etc will often make fun of each other. It's not like Western media doesn't treat disability sympathetically. It does so routinely. Dragon Prince being a great example. Amaya's deafness is never even specifically mentioned by the characters, showing that it's not even something they regard as an issue.

Some nuance to the last sentence Oushi said while the subtitles made it "I don't wanna let this guy beat me without a fight" from what I actually heard him say was more in the direction of "I can't quit while behind" or "can't let it end with me just beaten". Now that I actually try to put it in words it's hard to actually translate properly, but basically he already admitted his defeat in his word choice but is resolved to not just let it end there with his defeat.
