Getting tired of seeing vertical videos where the videographer’s idea of “text captions” is to rapidly flash one or two words at a time, too fast to read coherently and right in the middle of the video in bright block letters.
Look, the whole point of text captions is #accessibility. When you generate rapid-fire captions like that, it’s not only illegible to the people who might need them, it’s also a distraction to people with #ADHD issues. Enough of the #ableism.
This exhibit ought to be the final nail for this case. An ad actually showing a child wielding an AR-15 and justifying it with a Bible verse? Unforgivable.
@actuallyautistic Does anybody else here find that when they’re in a new place—a store, someone’s house, wherever—that they have an urge to walk all throughout the place and see where everything is?
I never thought about it before, but today I wondered if it’s because I unconsciously want to see all the distractions and novelties so they don’t, you know, distract me from what I’m supposed to be doing the rest of the time that I’m there. Just a little #ADHD self-management.
I find it interesting that the #Transformers franchise has tackled Cybertronian alt modes repeatedly in recent years:
Siege (toys and streaming show)
Bumblebee/TF:One (movie and toys)
Origin (toys based on G1 pilot)
War for Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron (games, Generations toys and Studio Series toys)
…and I for one am loving it. As long as the new fans don’t get confused which toys come from which continuity, I say let’s keep reinventing those robot alien space cars over and over again!
