The Purpose of Plain Text?

I originally put this in a reblog, but it deserves to be its own post, too.

On the topic of plain text: This is not an official word you’ll find in accessibility guides. In general, text on websites is already accessible to screen readers with very few exceptions. Screen readers are literally made to read text.

These exceptions inlude

Copy paste fonts (these generally read as gibberish to a screen reader)

Text with alternating upper case and lower case letters (like in that one Sponge Bob meme)

Rainbow text in the web/browser version of tumblr (This is specific to tumblr. Rainbow text in general is not a problem and can be implemented in accessible ways. It’s even accessible in the tumblr apps.)

Images/ screenshots of text (these aren't actually text, they're images)

Stuff like small text, big text, italics, fonts, and colored text, are not an issue for screen readers. I have never heard of a screen reader user having problems with these, and no official accessibility guidelines have restrictions on these.

You do not need to provide plain text versions of formatted text for the sake of screen reader users. I do not know where this myth comes from, but it’s untrue.

However, there are cases where providing plain text makes sense. For example, when reblogging a post with small text, I generally copy it in normal font size in my reblog. This is not for screen reader users. This is for people who sight-read who cannot read small font. Providing plain text versions of colored text is also often done for the sake of people with migraines or eye strain.

It is good to make posts accessible to people with migraines, but it help no one to incorrectly conflate this with screen reader accessibility. These are two separate accessibility issues.

TL;DR Screen readers can read formatted text without any problems, but people who sight read (with their eyes) can sometimes benefit from plain text.

Like, beyond the fact that suggesting all homophobic men are secretly gay and in denial is still treating calling a dude gay as a way to "own" him, it's constructing a scenario in which gay people are the principal enactors of homophobic violence. Think carefully about who benefits from this framing.
