Reblog If You ARE Ace, SUPPORT Ace People Or Actually Have FANGS In Real Life

“ yOu wAnt a PieCE of ME?” “YES!” *bites a bitch*

If you support disabled people, please stand with us against Discord’s redesign.

...and do more than reblog this post about it.

Chronic migraines. Dyslexia. ADHD. Autism. Vision impairment. Visual sensory processing disorder. Colorblind. & Neurotypical. Abled.

These are aspects of people that are affected by Discord’s new update to its color scheme and font, and there very well could be more I didn’t mention. Yes, you read it right, abled people and neurotypical people too. You are not immune to eyestrain.

What are the issues?

A font which is both overly uniform and overly squished, with many letters that have essentially the same silhouette as others and could easily be flipped and look the same as another. ▻ This is dyslexic-unfriendly, as well as generally harder to read and an issue for people with visual impairments who may find that letters bleed together or that their eyes ‘skip’ over letters or words at times.

A color scheme that is so highly saturated that it both immediately draws your attention and also makes you want to immediately look away. ▻ This is generally unfriendly, affecting people with sensory issues the most (ADHD/Autism, migraines, processing disorders), but it’s also colorblind-unfriendly. Due to the differences between the colors being exclusively the part that changes the named color (hue; “green” vs “blue”) instead of both that and the colors being different intensities (saturation; “neon green” vs “leaf green”), they look practically identical.

Aren’t there more? No. This is pretty much all that was changed.

Discord changed TWO THINGS and pretty much managed to land every single person possible to genuinely hurt with a visual design change that doesn’t add or remove any elements. Including abled and neurotypical people!!!

Discord is currently a good number of people’s lifeline and way to connect with others. And with this change, they just made using their app hurt. They know that we can’t leave their app without leaving our friends and communities behind. They know that if they can just sweep this under the rug, they won’t have to do a thing.

...So we can’t let them.

Why would Discord do this?

It’s actually fairly simple. Discord was hemorrhaging money from its very conception. Discord only exists because investors think it’ll make money in the future. If Discord doesn’t do as well, investors will push to make it “better” or they’ll drop their funding. Discord was probably forced into this situation, they probably knew exactly what would happen.

We have to show their investors that Discord was right.

What can we do to fix this?

DON’T:

Reply to Discord’s tweet about the design change. ▻ It gives Discord more attention, and if any complaints are acknowledged they are directed to Discord’s accessibility forums.

ONLY post on Discord’s accessibility forums. ▻ It gives Discord stats to work with, but it also means the outcry isn’t public. We need everyone to see this, not just Discord.

DO:

Reblog this post. ▻ Spreads the awareness, and all.

Retweet, reply to, and/or like this tweet: https://twitter.com/KarklesMarx/status/1393223369571586053 ▻ This tweet is part of our and our friends’ initiative to get this big and get this public.

Make your own posts about it on different social medias. ▻ Tumblr, Twitter, Discord servers, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, whatever ground you have, use it. You can help make this change too.

Find other people doing the same thing. ▻ One initiative is never enough. Look for other people making posts like these and boost their posts too.

IF YOU KNOW ANOTHER LANGUAGE, MAKE POSTS OF YOUR OWN BOOSTING IT IN OTHER LANGUAGES. ▻ Please. There are probably a lot of people we haven’t reached because this is an all-English post.

Wait, don’t you have pictures of what’s going on?

We do. They’re under the cut, to prevent causing issues for people reading the post.

This compilation post of the smaller problems: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/1500001066342-Fix-Your-Stuff-or-ALLOW-CUSTOM-CLIENTS-or-BOTH-

Images that show some of the changes:

[Two screenshots of the Discord icon on an IOS device. One is a cool indigo gradient, the other is a solid, brightly saturated indigo.]

[The words “gaming central” twice in Discord’s new font. One is bold, the other is not.]

[The words “reddit fart reddit smell” in Discord’s new font. Underneath, the highly saturated indigo as seen in the icons, stretching across the screen to indicate new messages.]

While this isn’t all the scam accounts from the current list, here is some accounts I still have in the drafts where I collect scam posts for tracking them. This isn’t updated to the newer list I just have these myself from weeks ago.

Please do not donate to any of these accounts, their scammers and may have deleted their original posts to avoid getting reported as two of them have. Please alert anyone sharing their posts that isn’t calling them out as they hide those reblogs.

Let them!

Taurtis frowned, as his feet softly grazed the mud coated side walk. How would Grian react knowing sam what sam did? Taurtis inhaled sharply, twirling his thumbs around each other. As the raven approached the door. Grian swung it clean open, pulling Taurtis inside. The blond glanced over him muttering so many things. The both of them looked at each other. "Why were you home in a rush!?" Grian snapped clearly concerned.

"I... I sam he" Taurtis broke down, burrowing his head into one of Grians shoulders. The Brit fell silent, carefully tracing the bruises along his neck. And softly running his fingers over the bruising on Taurtis' wrists. This was all he needed to know what had happened.

"Jay, come here can you comfort Taurtis, I have to go rabbit hunting" Grian called out snatching a rather large shot gun hanging on the wall. Jay nodded in return.

The next day on the news sam was reported dead, and no one knew what had happened. Grian ended up comforting Taurtis that day.

Dang, Grian really did went hunting :0

But I also love it mate

Mist dots the afternoon air, cold and crisp as the wind sings. Each step only lead to more creaking of the stairs. A light ring of an unanswered phone calls out drawing people near. Silence had already been unwelcoming so is the dripping. For once the two prayed he had been making a sound. Yet he was no where to be found. Soft thuds wouldn't have been alarming if it weren't for the pained crys that came with. The Birt with a burst of energy rushed to the room housing the noise. Light and quiet sobs pushed and pulled at the noisy air. Another cry, caused the door to burst open. There the raven was standing holding a broken vase, shaking and choking on his own sobs. The blond immediately pulled the other close, noticing the cutts coating the arms and heavy brusing on the neck. Not only that but a broken window said it all the glass layed on the floor. The Brit glanced his companion down taking note of bite marks and scratching on the other thighs. "Taurtis," Grian began while rubbing the others back allowing his friend to lean into him "you're safe ok, I am here anyways it was self defense" Grian cooed.

"But," Taurtis began trying hold himself together only to cry into Grians shoulder "I- I-" he got cut off when the Brit shused him.

"Don't," Grian scolded as Sam bolted up stairs with silly "now can I ask who?" Grian finished with a soft tone.

"GRIAN," Sam shouted while having the blond hand Taurtis over to silly who had a first aid kit " I saw a person with glass in their arm running!" As soon as he finished the two males gave each other a nod.

Taurtis began to flick through channels relaxing in Grians lap, who just let it happen. Though Sam let out a gasp and snatched the remote. As the news reported a person dead with no evidence to be found, the person looked way to familiar for comfort for Taurtis. The rabbit and Brit looked at each other as a uneasy silence fell upon them. "Did you two-"

What happens once you kill yourself? Because I'm ready to go.

You wanna know what happens once you kill yourself? Your mother comes home from work and finds her baby dead and she screams and runs over to you and tries to get you to wake up but you won’t and she keeps screaming and shaking you and her tears are dripping onto your face and your dad hears all the screaming and runs into the room and he can’t even speak because the child that he loved and the child that he watched grow up is gone forever and finally your little sister runs into the room to see what all the fuss is about and she sees you dead. The person she looked up to and loved. The person she bragged about to  her friends, the person she wanted to be just like when she grew up, the person that made her feel safe. But she’s never really going to get to grow up and smile and laugh and love because she’ll always be consumed with this feeling of missing you. And now there’s something missing from your family and they can barely look at each other anymore because everything reminds them of you but you’re gone and hurts more than anything. and you think that your mom never cared because she was always busy and yelling at you to finish your homework and clean your room and forgot to say I love you sometimes but really, she loved you more than anything and she doesn’t leave the house anymore, she can’t even get out of bed and she’s getting thinner and thinner because it’s too hard to eat. Your father had to quit his job and he doesn’t sleep anymore, every time he closes his eyes he sees his baby dead, and the image never goes away no matter how much alcohol he drinks. And at school your best friend sees that your seat is empty and she gets this sick feeling in her stomach and that’s when she hears the announcement. You killed yourself. And suddenly she’s screaming and crying in the middle of class and no one even bothers comforting because they’re all  busy sitting there staring at your empty seat with tears dripping down their cheeks and all she wants is for you to hug her and tell her it’s gonna be okay like you always did, but this time, you’re not there to do it, everything is dark now that you’re gone and her grades are slipping, she barely goes to school anymore and she ended up in hospital after taking too many pills because she wanted to see you again. the girls who used to make fun of the way you dressed feel their throats get tight, they don’t talk to each other anymore, they don’t talk to anyone, they’re all in therapy trying so hard not to blame themselves but nothing works. and your teacher who always gave you a hard time stares blankly at the wall, she quits her job a few days later. And then your boyfriend hears the news and he can’t breathe, he still calls you a lot just to hear your voice and he talks to you on facebook but you never message him back, he can’t fall in love again because every girl he meets reminds him of you, he’s never going to get over you, he loved you and he cries himself to sleep every night, hating himself and slicing his skin because he couldn’t save you and he’s never going to hold you in his arms or hear you laugh again. Now everyone who knew you, whether they were a big part of your life or someone you passed in the hallway a few times a week, they carry this aching feeling around inside them because you’re gone, and they miss you, and they don’t know why you left but it must’ve been their fault and they should’ve stopped you and they should’ve told you they loved you more and that feeling is never going to go away. And so you killed yourself

but you killed everyone else around you too. 

so much care put into housing this aging spider. why are my eyes wet
