No I don't care to read twitter posts from other people which is what the poster was talking about.
Your entire shtick in this thread has been to whine about how you don't care and how other people shouldn't care the topic because you think they shouldn't while not following your own advice.
Not really bullshit. You're metric for not thinking there was no significant call for it is also misleading as your not mentioning if the calls where through other channels or simply in-private. It's not really bullshit to understand maybe this bothered a small, medium, or large group of people and the other portion probably did'nt care or thought it was stupid. Mentioning not a monolith only means I understand that not everyone in this group thinks the same way, thats it.
There is no proof that there was any significant call by any measure to remove the term. Appealing to a non-existent group of people on a "oh maybe" is meaningless. Pretending that a group that you have no proof of exists and basing your argument off of that is the exact definition of misleading.
I mean this dosen't really make any sense. Just because I don't think people are a monolith dosen't mean I can't side with the minority or think this supposed minority is correct.
Right, and here is where we get to the point where you are actually honest for once in this thread. You do clearly care, and agree with decision that was made. Also the second part of your post here isn't correct.
There are two parts to not treating people as a monolith.
The first is acknowledging that the group in question is comprised of individuals that are only bound together by a particular trait whether it's skin colour or something else and that this trait does not determine their opinions on any particular subject.
The second is not taking actions that are in direct conflict with the first. Such as taking a paternalistic stance and trying to get things banned or supporting bans because a minority of people from that group don't like it. You clearly do not give a shit about the group in question if you're willing to ignore the majority because changing language to be less precise and languid thus making discourse more difficult for no added utility makes you feel good.
And if we are being honest, I don't see people complaining about it because they think it's not actually helpful. I see people complaining about it because it's another "people are being woke, fuck your feelings snowflake angle". Which is what I pretty much believe this thread is actually about.
if that's what you think then you haven't been paying attention at all to what's being said around this issue, not talking about just this thread but on other platforms as well.
"Here's a a better solution. How about the people who have no problems with the term "Blind Playthrough" can use it as they like, and those who don't like the term can simply choose to not use it? That would actually be respectful of everyone. That would be treating blind people not as a monolith, but as individual human beings with their own thoughts, beliefs and opinions."
Ok Well I'll just use the n word and also call people faggots because well they aren't bad to me. People who have problems with those words can just not use them.
Can you point out to me the people who are equating the use of "Blind Playthrough" to words like "faggot"? I'll wait.
Just kidding, there's no need to wait because this is a dumb fuck false equivalence. I'm really confused on how you thought this was a good argument here. But I at least got some unexpected humour out of this thread.
How about the solution is you just don't care about a stupid changing of a term that does not effect you? What are you upset about that instead of tagging something as "blind" you now have to tag it with another synonym? I don't know how many people were disrespected by the term, but are you so disrespected that you can't use it? I doubt it. I figure you are just mad because it's another pointless victory in some lame culture war you want to fight.
How about if people talking about this issue makes you so mad you can just not click on the thread or add it to ignore?
People are complaining because this change is dumb as fuck.
It has no merit.
It's clearly performative in nature since it requires no effort on Twitch's part.
Some posts have already gone over what kinds of changes to Twitch that would be helpful to blind people and this isn't one of them.
Twitch thought they could do something that takes no effort and get pats on the back for it and now they are being rightly criticized for it.
Of course if you bothered to read the thread and links that have been posted you would know all of this. But I suppose it's unrealistic to expect you to know anything regarding what's being discussed when you immediately see red upon witnessing people criticizing dumb decisions that you agree with which brings us to your disingenuous posts in this thread while pretending that you don't care at all.
I don't care about the change one way or the other. I don't use twitch. I'm not disabled. It dosen't offend me. I don't care. What I think is lame is getting bent out of shape and crying about sjws when it comes to stupid whatever things.
This has nothing to do with "SJW"'s but it's clear that you're bringing that up in an attempt to discredit all the points that have been made against Twitch here by framing it as "crying about sjws".
Twitch did something performative and expected to get pats on the back for it.
They are now largely getting roasted by everyone for thinking they could pull shit like this instead of actually putting in effort to improve the user experience for blind users on Twitch.
If you have problems understanding this, then I suggest reading the thread that you clearly didn't look through beyond one post if you're confused. All the points and reasoning are there.
