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.
Gary Parker@gsuberland we had a big problem with that at our org when using Teams for many valid research subjects.
You have to jump through some hoops to disable it, but it's possible. Part of the problem is that MS makes very little distinction between under-18 and post-18 education, and applies stuff you might consider appropriate for school children to HE.
@gsuberland if you're an education user they literally treat you like a 5yo
@witewulf funnily enough the thing that prompted this rant was MS Teams censoring words in automatic captions
@gsuberland yes, I know, I've been following that thread with some amusement, as I'm no longer responsible for Teams here (thank $deity)
