Graham Sutherland / Polynomialonce again pissed off at censoring / sanitising language in subtitles. it's infantilising. I use subtitles all the time because of tinnitus and auditory processing issues, and I'll be damned if I want a bunch of handwringing prudish cunts fucking about with the language. censor ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in accessibility tools. I promise we're grown up enough to handle some swears and sex words, for shit's sake.
and this goes for even the most heinous of words. if someone uses an incendiary racial slur, you better fucking believe that I want to know what they said so I can tell them to fuck off. DO. NOT. CENSOR. ACCESSIBILITY. TOOLS.
of course my sweariest rant is the one that does numbers.
I don't have a soundcloud to promote but uh, idk, take a look at my silly warning stickers or something? (link in profile)
but more than anything please push for better accessibility features if you work in tech, preferably with input from actual disabled folks. it's such an afterthought usually and it's sad.
(I will probably end up muting this because my phone battery is getting absolutely munted by the notification push traffic)
David Cohen@gsuberland Maybe AI can take the swears out of your posts automatically?
😉
gadgetoid@gsuberland enjoy your fucking limelight! 🤣 it’s a worthy goddamn cause and as I subtitle user myself I appreciate the sentiment!
Can I also add “make the fucking subtitles match the fucking words spoken, I am hard of hearing and have auditory processing issues and if they don’t match I simply have to turn it off 😭”
