@redvanillabee I Had Another Thought Along Similar Lines. Sometimes When Shows Feature Bilingual Characters,

@redvanillabee I had another thought along similar lines. Sometimes when shows feature bilingual characters, they don’t offer translations when the character speaks in their second language. It would be nice if there were captions to translate those phrases, or at least show you how to spell it so you can put it into a translator.

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

Jarvis: When I said you should try being friendlier this isn’t what I meant.

Howard, stirring a cup of tea aggressively: Oh, so now I’m TOO friendly? There’s no pleasing you.

Peggy, who broke into their house and hour ago: Two sugars please.

Howard: Coming right up.

Daniel: 13 year old me would be both terrified and in awe of me.

Jack: 13 year old me wouldn’t think I’d get this far.

Peggy: I’d fight 13 year old me.

I meant to make this meme ages ago when pride month was still on but yeah gé (pronounced gay) is the Irish for a goose.

Also, depending on how the characters are talking (tone, volume, accents) it can be hard to decipher certain words, so having subtitles helps clear up that confusion.
