One thing I find hilarious about the captions on iQIYI is that it censors words you definitely know they’re not saying. Like, these badass mafia motherfuckers are not saying shit like “what the heck?” and “are you freaking kidding me?” and “oh shoot!” Like, we all fucking know that.
But then, when Vegas is over in the warehouse screaming in English, literally yelling “Goddamnit you ruined my fucking plan!”
And the captions are reading “Gosh darn it, you ruined my freaking plan!”
Like….I just can’t with these censored captions. It’s too hilarious every single time.
Hey folks, even when you're transcribing a screenshot of a belief or argument that we all agree is absolutely indefensible, you... do still have to transcribe it accurately. In the most accessible way.
Disabled people can use their own critical thinking skills to determine that the idea absolutely sucks shit, without the transcriber using mocking alternating caps or whatever that just make the ID more difficult to read. Save the commentary on what you think of it for the body of your post. Disabled people deserve to be able to read what you're criticizing.
(To keep elaborating on that one example: While alternating caps don't fuck up the single screen reader I've tested them on, you need to understand that first, all screen readers are different, and second, not all people who need IDs use screen readers. IDs need to be in the most easily readable format possible.)
