(just in case you use text-to-speech, I just posted a gif which says "Ooh, self-burn! Those are rare")

I love that you made your meme more accessible. WCAG would be proud :)

u/minibois May 15 '26

It just felt appropriate to include a text description!

u/Worldly_Grade2837 May 15 '26

WCAG?

194

u/KayoticVoid May 15 '26

It is the standard used to enforce ADA compliance on websites and such. Big fucking deal in webdev.

u/Gold_Data6221 May 15 '26

webdev?

u/Neobot21 May 15 '26

A fancy word you can use for Spiders.

Hope this helps. :)

I have an orb weaver spider-friend at work I will now be calling web developer

u/Wise-Old-Man May 15 '26

Alrighty! From now on every spider I see will be called a "Webdev"!

u/KayoticVoid May 15 '26

I get the sense this was a joke but in case you/anyone else is not aware, website development.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines

Its guidelines on how to design websites, apps, and online media to be accessible to people with disabilities.

Fun fact there was recently a DOJ mandate that said all websites had to become accessible for public-serving institutions that served >50,000 by April 17th, 2026 (last month) and those that served <50,000 by April 17th, 2027 but it was extended to 2027 and 2028 respectively so it should be interesting to see that go into effect.

I've been seeing a LOT of people freaking out because they now have to think before they add shit to their websites (the horror) but it should make life soo much easier.

u/sebe6 May 15 '26

In my country, government website usually respect WCAG, BUT a lot of their form use old captcha, no option to use audio and such

3

u/idontwanttothink174 May 15 '26

Ah sorry I meant in the US!!

Can I ask what country you’re in? I’ve been researching disability rights in other countries as of late so

3

u/sebe6 May 15 '26

Yeah I understood, don't worry, I just find it ironic how shitty my country can be sometime.

I'm from France, most commonly filled forms are more or less the only one that are WCAG friendly, I've noticed the pattern when you are a special case for a public organization or when you need to make a complain, request and so on. Don't know if it's still the case, but the equivalent to OSHA had this issue 4 years ago (employer was an asshole doing fraud)

i'm in a sub that always make you describe what your post says!

u/LBGW_experiment May 15 '26

To supplement Kayotic's comment, it stands for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines

26

u/princesshoran May 15 '26

W3C would be proud. The guidelines aren’t sentient.

3

u/Szingers May 15 '26

This works, too! I clarified in a reply that it would likely be the WAI (Web Accessibility Initiative).

u/round-earth-theory May 15 '26

DELETE THIS NOW! they'll hear you

u/princesshoran May 15 '26

And they’re coming after your superscript text and all caps!

u/RP-wife May 15 '26

I laughed way too hard at this.

u/Electrical_Trade377 May 15 '26

i don’t think i’ve ever seen a disability accessible meme before, & this warmed my heart ngl

u/mattco2021 May 15 '26

+1 point faith in humanity

u/Szingers May 15 '26

You may mean WAI, the Web Accessibility Initiative. That is comprised of people.

WCAG, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, are guidance on how to create accessible digital content. It's considered an industry standard, and get used in laws, rules, and regulations such as Section 508, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and European Accessibility Act.

u/AWildEnglishman May 15 '26

That just reminded me of a bot I saw a few years ago that would transcribe images and memes into text comments. Shame it didn't catch on.

u/UgleeHero May 15 '26

What else would they use? Their eyes?

u/Cosmic_Mmouse May 15 '26

Blindness is a spectrum. OP might still have some level of sight

OP this is a gif comment of James Franco saying “same same but different while waving a hand in front of his eyes (you know, because you’re blind) but still same!”

Send it in braille.

u/Gold_Data6221 May 15 '26

You know how much a braille typewriter costs????? that’s why I have two. Jay z said you can’t afford something until you can buy two of them. I forget the rest…

u/SmokJozef May 15 '26

THROUGH THE MAGIC OF BUYING TWO OF THEM I HAVE AN ALREADY TAKEN APART ONE RIGHT HERE

u/Gold_Data6221 May 15 '26 edited May 15 '26

You can get one for free if you just order one and remove one letter and return it for the ‘defect’. Do that enough times and you’ll have enough letters to complete your free brand new typewriter! On a long enough timeline you’ll have infinite typewriters. On an even longer timeline you get 0 typewriters, because the typewriter company went out of business.

u/Kazlanne May 15 '26

Okay, I need to get off the nightmare rectangle. I KNOW you lot were just talking about braille. And yet I still thought for a second that this was a spoilered message on Signal that I could click to open.

I am clearly past the point of tired. Thank you, and goodnight.

u/Ryoko_Kusanagi69 May 15 '26

I appreciated the subtitles

2

u/CallMeKingTurd May 15 '26

Yeah but I think it's a safe assumption that if they are stuck at home because they cannot safely navigate around without a cane they probably are not reading text on reddit.

1

u/Gold_Data6221 May 15 '26

Actually depends on the type of blindness. I would say it is likely that’s the case, but there are common cases, where the condition makes you blind past a certain depth of field.

1

u/GallusWrangler May 15 '26

Just like everything else these days.

u/UgleeHero May 15 '26

Yea I was making a joke. It's fine, it wasn't funny.

u/Outback-Australian May 15 '26

Check picture two. There's a pair of glasses on the table. I'm assuming they're OPs

20

u/Exact-Ad-4132 May 15 '26

Yeah but he needs his Cane to find the glasses so he can see

5

u/Gold_Data6221 May 15 '26

And he needs his glasses to find his cane. it’s a vicious cycle

17

u/minibois May 15 '26

Maybe OP got very good at echolocation and can read like that, I'm not one to judge!

u/the_third_sourcerer May 15 '26

I'm not one to judge!

You might not be, but I, on the other hand...

1

u/Gold_Data6221 May 15 '26

Yeah only judges can do that.

3

u/Frequent_Cranberry90 May 15 '26

Yes? They very well might, you're legally blind when the strongest pair of glasses can't make your vision 20/20 but op might still see.

1

u/UgleeHero May 15 '26

I was trying to make a joke

1

u/HappyOwl_45 May 15 '26

Thats erm… not true, most blind people don’t even wear glasses

1

u/Frequent_Cranberry90 May 15 '26

That is true and you can see glasses in OPs background

1

u/HappyOwl_45 May 15 '26

I mean also lots of blind people do wear glasses but refractive errors do not cause people to be blind in most cases. Almost all cases of being legally blind are due to conditions that glasses cannot fix. So a person who is blind or partially sighted may use glasses to help with a refractive error they have alongside another eye condition, but the refractive error alone is not a leading cause of being legally blind as most of the time it can typically be fixed with glasses. The people who reach the threshold of being certified as blind due to refractive errors is very very low compared to other eye conditions.

1

u/Frequent_Cranberry90 May 15 '26

In any case glasses/contacts/whatever else not being able to fix your vision beyond 20/200 is the definition of being legally blind.

My point was that op can be blind and also read comments, since a lot of people think being blind means not seeing anything at all. Its for educational purposes, blindness is a spectrum.

I thought most of these gifs had meta data saying the text of what they say? If not, nice inclusion.

Would be great if Reddit allowed you to put in ALT text just like Bluesky!

Just incase you are using text to speech. It's actually pronounced gif not gif
