I dreamt I was a moron...

it’s so weirdly common to be rude to people who need subtitles or want subtitles as if it’s some kind of nuisance to have subtitles, but honestly? normalize having subtitles on everything. overall it can help people with language barriers who can read better than they can listen to a language, it helps people with comprehension issues, it helps people who have trouble hearing, it helps in general so whatever you’re watching isn’t interrupted by someone asking what someone just said, just put subtitles on! what the hell!

why do the subtitles on netflix have to suck ass

if the outline was just a LITTLE thicker, you could read them

BUT YOU FUCKING CAN’T READ THEM WHEN THE COLORS ON THE SCREEN ARE BRIGHT.

It gets worse when you try to watch Ouran subbed. That is one show that is pretty much made to kill subtitles. As much as I want to watch the original audio, it starts getting illegible and obnoxious. So I have to watch the dub instead. Good thing they’ve got both audio tracks.

slingbees

yeeaaaahhhhh

at least as dubs go ouran isn’t as bad as it gets

ao no exorcist has an absolutely horrid dub, AND they don’t have the dub on netflix

so it’s just well ok now what

The fuck is with this game

“Subtitled on” means “subtitles on” not “I only want subtitles for garbled speech on phantom because the audio in this game is revolutionary and Dante and that chick aren’t hard to hear at all”

Can we please please normalize subtitles?

Subtitles are:

1. A necessity for deaf people

2. REALLY helpful for those who are partially deaf, have APD (like me and my sister) or any other hearing problem

3. really helpful for those who can’t focus well, especially for those with ADD/ADHD (like me)

4. Is incredibly helpful for people learning a second language, or for bilingual people who can read better than they can hear 

5. Even if you aren’t into learning the language, there are countless amazing foreign movies and songs you really can’t enjoy without subtitles!

6. Can help people (like my sister) who have reading comprehension 

7. Can help when you’re having a party and you don’t want to pause every time someone wants to make a comment/joke

8. Can help when the characters in the show have a heavy accent (especially in period shows) 

9. Let’s be honest subtitles can really add to the humor of the show! (”sobs mathematically”, “screeches loudly”, “angrily fixes bowtie”)

10. Can let people watch content without headphones, or in areas of loud noises. 

11. Alternatively, If someone has sensitive hearing or is triggered by loud noises, they can turn the volume down low and still be able to enjoy the content

12. The last bit is VERY true for movies where they switch between soft speaking and LOUD BOOMING NOISES (I’m looking at you hunger games)

13. Very good for helping young kids recognize and associate words and learn to read faster!

14. Really good when you’re eating chips/crunchy candy and can’t hear the movie

15. IS A NECESSITY FOR DEAF PEOPLE!!!

I can’t even tell you how many of my friends made fun of me for needing subtitles, to the point of where I just don’t bother with them anymore. Asking for subtitles at an event is the scariest thing I can imagine. People often complain that it “gets in the way” of their movie. Watching shows (especially in loud areas or with people who talk a lot) is incredibly frustrating for me. People often think I’m stupid for not understanding a show or needing to rewind when someone talks. Most Youtube users don’t bother to create subtitles for their videos (and auto-generated subtitles are crap). I just wish people were nicer to people who need subtitles, and that they were more accessible on other platforms.

• At one point there’s a really loud unexplained midi horn noise and I don’t know why
• The narrator seems really out of place like he talks 24/7 in scenes that clearly should have quiet??
• They are NOT lying the subtitles are like a completely different script, including paraphrasing and name changes, almost all of which matches up better with the lips than the current audio
• Some background monkeys have rasta hats on… it is neither addressed nor explained
• The proportions are so weird… it makes me feel unclean all the lions are so unbalanced and sharp and lanky
• vaguely sexual elephant cuddling
• “that night was filled with…(sultry voice shift) such promise”
  
• elephant wife calls elephant husband daddy
• villain elephant is accompanied by radical public-domain guitar tunes
• newborn babies can speak full sentences
• One motherfucker doing the extra voice in the jungle fire scene is so disinterested in comparison to the rest, i feel his pain, he is me
• Antelope suggests they will be safe in The Heart Of The Jungle ™ when the jungle is completely on fire
• There’s a song at one point did I mention that
• The antelope has dentures, no this is never explained either
• I swear to god the voice of the elephant twins is so familiar who is it
• ITS FUCKKKI N G DEBI DERRYBERRY
• IM ONLY 40 MINUTES IN WH Y IS THER MROE
