So many of the people who produce videos, especially if it is an online thing, just never think to caption their videos. And if you talk to them about it, a lot of the time either the reaction is a lot of resistance, reluctance, or even hostility, OR the reaction, "Oh, yeah, sure, good idea" ... not "oops, sorry we didn't do that, we'll fix that right now" but a more casual attitude as if captions are just something "nice" to do, not an essential need for the communication access of deaf people. So when I see that some mainstream online video has captions, I feel welcome. As opposed to when there are no captions, when I feel excluded.<br /><br />I wish more non-disabled people could learn to grasp this simple fact:<br /><br />accessibility = welcome and inclusion<br /><br />inaccessibility = hostility and exclusionAndrea S.http://andreashettle.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.com
