Dating a blind girl
All of her friends are blind
Love that she holds my arm when we’re out
Love that she eventually got used to my apartment and can now navigate around by herself
Love that her guide dog is super friendly and is always on the job to help her.
Love that her family sees me as a great person because her being blind doesn’t bother me
Love that she doesn’t use the internet because it’s too much hassle
Love that she requests I read new books for her in my voice and record them so she has her own boyfriend audiobook library.
In theory, yes. In practice, most websites continue to be hostile for differently abled people, with the vast majority of websites continuing to have poor accessibility features. There might be a few things worth still going to the internet for, but not that many. 🤷♂️
It’s a matter of motivation. It’s not like the surface web is very worthwhile… Imagine if you were introduced to the web today. Twitter is on fire, Reddit is nonsense karma bots, common searches return unhelpful SEO garbage, YouTube has 10 ads to watch a 10 minute video… Why would you bother?
Doesn’t mean there’s not much worthwhile, it’s just buried. They have braille readers, you can learn to use a screen reader at crazy speeds, and an endless amounts of sites use a consistent layout that a screen reader could easily handle, let alone specialty devices
It’s just one more layer of bullshit that turns people away
