Happy Disability Pride Month! This goes to the visibly disabled people, the invisible disabled people, the chronically ill, the mentally ill, the chronic pain patients, the chronic fatigue patients, any spoonie out there. You deserve love and care. You’re worth it. You have value.
why closed captioning should always be provided on every video:
- Deaf People Exist
- auditory processing disorder is a Bitch
- people with ADHD can find it hard to concentrate on what is being said without the words in front of them
- ^autistic people for the same reason
- autistic people may also find it hard to interpret verbal messages within the context of the video, so it’s useful to have written alternatives to fall back on
- do you know how painful it is to be excluded from every joke, every video, every conversation because others just Can’t Be Bothered?
- some people live in a conservative household or with family who don’t share the same ideals, and they may not have privacy to view things on their own, so they may need to watch things with the volume extremely low or muted
- We Want To Watch Videos In Public, Dammit
feel free to add on!
as always, ableism will get you blocked (:
a lot of people have been saying this, so I’ll go ahead and add it:
- having written words in front of you when the language they’re speaking isn’t your primary/native tongue is very helpful for comprehension and fluency
- Not everyone is fluent in every language and sometimes accents can make it hard to understand what is being said
• helps children learn how to read
• Some people are hard of hearing
• Tinnitus is also a bitch
• You ever eat some really crunchy food and it’s super hard to hear over all the crunching?
