Straight up is abelism that auto-generated captions censor naughty words. People who need them are (often) still adults that don't need naughty words blocked for them.

@estrogenandspite there's also some tik tok and reel kinda things where you literally can't understand them unless you have volume on because it replaces the words in the captions with things that are less likely to be blocked by the algorithm. But they still use the actual word when you have the volume on???

Made it hella confusing when watching on mute

@emairi that's not an auto-generating fault. That's something the creators are doing and it absolutely pisses me off too. It's a different kind of problem that is very much related and is still ableist.

@estrogenandspite @emairi Don't know if I would call it ableist - I'm more inclined to use words like "bloody annoying", "stupid" or "assholes". Does it impact people with hearing problems more? Yes. Does it impact and annoy me? Also yes. The only thing I can do is just not watch that stuff, which I probably shouldn't do in the first place (I listen to idiots at work, but they pay me for that, I refuse to do so in my spare time).
