#oh yes the transcript and captions are for me to decide if I can unmute it

You have to turn on the sound to hear [thing that can't be described easily]: Fair enough, not great but you probably just aren't thinking about it or how annoying that is to read or see all the time.

You have to turn on sound to hear [thing that can be described easily but is not to 'surprise' the listener and won't say what it is]: It's just a goofy noise or voice 99% of the time. At least I can guess but still not my favorite.

There is no way transcript can capture/describe [thing] you have to hear it for yourself: I hate you personally and am going to fuck your mom.

#deaf #hoh #hard of hearing #transcription #captions #closed captions #capital d deaf #I'm not actually hoh so i don't know the tags but i am a coda with auditory processing issues so #this just always sticks out to me #coda #child of deaf adult #like why even start a transcript if you think you can't describe something #also why shit on the people who did transcript which is an accessibility tool #you may think it's funny but it's kind of like going up to #a braille sign or an auditory description and being like IT CANT REALLY CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF THE PICTURE THO #and just makes it obvious the people who comment that and reblog it with no critical thought are like #oh yes the transcript and captions are for me to decide if I can unmute it #not at all for people who might not be able to hear #also if that metaphor is rude or offensive please let me know I will take it out #if you are offended that I am going to fuck your mom because you didn't use your brain on why a transcript is there i will fuck your dad to #the first one is annoying but i really try to not assign maliciousness when the answer is usually ignorance #it can be invisible to people who don't think about these things because they don't have to #it's not great and all of these are technically from ignorance #but it's the one I forgive the easiest #if you aren't experienced in transcription and make an honest effort it's better than any of the options you could have said #deaf and hoh #deafculture
