On International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we're taking a moment to reflect on the wise words of NyleDiMarco on the importance of inclusive and accessible spaces for disabled people.
It was a frustrating reminder why I had not gone to a movie theater in so long. Back when I was growing up, some movie theaters would offer. This meant the captions were right there on the screen. Though these open-captioned showtimes were limited to selected days and times, when they did happen, the experience was much more accessible and enjoyable. Some time ago, movie theaters made the switch to these new captioning devices, and soon after that, I stopped going.
other deaf people in the world aren't the only ones who benefit from captions. Captions can help movie viewing experiences for people with ADHD, learning disabilities, and autism. It makes it easier for new language learners to understand dialogue. It also comes in handy in a ton of movie situations. When an actor mumbles, speaks in a heavy British accent, or is trying to make himself heard amidst a Michael Bay movie explosion scene, captions are there to make the dialogue crystal clear.
Unreliable captioning, or the lack thereof, isn't just a problem in movie theaters. Only a fraction of in-flight movies and TV shows have subtitles. Even though it's just a few remote clicks away, a ton of TVs in public spaces don't have the captioning turned on. The Internet brings a huge amount of filmed content to our screens, but so little of it is captioned.
after the Parkland school shooting. I wanted to watch the essential dialogue between the students and members of the community so impacted by the tragedy and the senator. But I couldn't. It wasn't captioned.I've heard the standard counterargument. Onscreen captions degrade the viewing experience. They're annoying and distracting. I call BS. People don't mind subtitles when they don't understand the language being spoken.
