ok youtube just said “fuck you if youre deaf or hard of hearing or just want to watch a video in a different language”

and you know what the fucking bullshit is they’re replacing it with a ~6 months free of a subscription to a third party captions provider~ which of course you’d have to pay for after those 6 months are up and you KNOW random youtuber #9039 isn’t going to bother to keep paying for that either because they won’t have the money or they just won’t care. and youtube’s going to act like that’s a perfectly fine alternative that won’t result in the majority of the site suddenly going from “more or less accessible” to “Fuck You If You’re Disabled”
“citing low usage” are you fucking kidding me nearly every worthwhile video i watch uses community captions. sometimes they’re kind of janky cuz they were made by some 14 year old who thought it’d be funny to put their own irrelevant jokes and commentary in there but that wasn’t a reason to ditch the feature entirely when its so useful and important
i’m not even hard of hearing and i rely on them to watch videos in other languages…this is literally how people have been making english subs for japanese songs and the like for years and it was great because you didn’t have to reupload the videos yourself and take away views from the original creators. many creators don’t allow reprints of their work whatsoever so if they go through with this (which unfortunately they seem pretty deadset on because lololol moneyyyyyy) it’s entirely likely that there just won’t be a way to watch that content with captions
there’s a petition to keep community captions…i don’t know if it’ll really do anything since they’re already going ~oh but we have Paid Alternatives!~ but don’t just let this pass by this should be a huge deal but i’ve barely seen anyone talking about it (not that i expect people to talk about things of any particular importance on tumblr but it’s not even getting attention on twitter beyond that one thread and like 2 other posts)
so like. sign this and shit don’t let youtube just actively get rid of accessibility features without anyone caring (though i’d say probably use twitter if you want to actually get their attention i don’t think they’d look here) http://chng.it/LN9HRNmnkg
I want a BUNCH of people to see this, kpop fans or not, and help out.
so a while ago people started a project
Of which the purpose was to make chan smile
And the project teaser was just posted
https://twitter.com/bangchansquad/status/1284304059642580995?s=20
Everyone please support this project. We created this to drown out the hate they're getting. Please reblog, spread this as much as you can. I'm sure we can do this, I know we can. I want this to get the most notes that I've ever gotten!
Post it on Tumblr, twitter, Instagram, I just want to make sure this project doesn't flop :(
God I can't believe I drew this
Bonus:
hi i'm sorry but your post about being the racist in your own life made me question something: are you not supposed to call a headscarf a hijab? are there other terms that would actually be correct but have been trampled over by white western people?
there are multiple uhh different kinds of headscarves and modesty coverings. usually people refer to all the kinds as “hijab” kinda like a catchall, but in specifics of writing its better to have it clarified. i am not someone you should rely on for this.
hijab is a correct term for veils because that’s what it means, but it’s wrong if you’re calling a full covering that, at least for me and my family. it’s considered lazy and rude to us. like, if you call a burka a headscarf or hijab it’s just inconsiderate to us specifically.
here’s some images. it’s just tiring to see them all called hijabs. “hijabi” and “hijab” aren’t offensive and are correct but it’s preferred if you learned the basic differences.
being in a public restroom and hearing someone shitting really loud
it shouldn’t surprise people that respecting a cat’s boundaries (i.e. ceasing to pet them after they paw at you) helps them trust you more
