    Sure.

    I hope we can get the larger avvies and signatures back soon. I liked the old layout...

    Were you here on April Fool's Day when we actually had the entire site in Comic Sans for a day?
  • In Amazon's internal email system, there's a mailing list entitled all-comic-sans-all-the-time, where that's basically the only rule.  It's a very random place.  There's also an email list entitled trolling-interest.

    Thought: at least we're not goddamn Tumblr, where we'd have to hear a million bullshit posts about how the new layout is worse for people with disabilities or something

    Because god forbid Tumblr Teens just admit they don't like something without having to tie it to some social justice cause, no matter how tenuous

    On the flipside, I've heard people say "Social justice attempts to overhaul our culture will confuse autistic people with a new set of social cues to learn, therefore anti-racism is a code word for anti-neurotypical"

  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    It's weird to me going to parts of the Internet which aren't associated with tumblr and seeing just how different the majority opinions are.

    Like i went on imgur when i was updating the Zestpoole thread and one of the highest rated images was one which implied that supporting Darren Wilson was a reasonable opinion and that the anti-racists were knee-jerking (said image also referred to Wilson's 'trial', so obviously an informed individual there).

    i feel like this is more likely what someone neurotypical who finds adjusting to social justice ideas difficult might say, since presumably an actual autistic person is likely to find the existing social cues at least as confusing.

    This particular issue seems to be pretty hit or miss. Obviously Tumblr is overwhelmingly against Wilson, but everywhere else I go there seems to be weirdly even mix of opinions.

    yep, utterly utterly different circles

    anyway i'm amused to know that this forum has as much ram as the netbook i'm typing this message on

    I'm sure there are folks who have problems with the layout, and as such also have problems with pretty much everything.

    Epileptics, or something.

    There are actually visual processing disorders that can affect how people handle certain web designs. (See: Nested comments for people who have difficulties with visual discrimination.)

    Things I assume are based on something, because who gets angry over nothing? Nobody. It's always something.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    TBH i find any change to a layout or interface frustrating and disorienting at first.  It's similar to how i would feel if the layout of a classroom changed, or if someone was sitting in my place.

    Not a disability thing, afaik, at least not in my case.

    I'm not saying there aren't legitimate reasons to complain, but...c'mon, I don't believe for a second that everyone who reblogs the "tumblr staff are ableist" posts or whatever is doing it out of genuine concern and not just because they're irritated.
  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    Maybe they are. Maybe they all know someone who has that problem.

  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    The accusations of ableism seem uncharitable at best.

    i mean, they're only human, they can't possibly think of everything, and there are so many different things that can pose problems for different individuals.

    I'm going to switch the theme back to Vanilla Blue. I've been looking for an excuse to do so for a while and this seems like a good one...I don't like what the new layout's done to Poppy.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat

    There's also a weird sort of assumption that it's the responsibility of Tumblr's developers to bend over backwards to accommodate every single possible issue, rather than the responsibility of the affected individuals to use assistive tools as necessary.

    It confuses me largely because, again, this isn't something one would generally expect from any other site. Do people who post those kind of complaints use only Tumblr?

    I have a limited knowledge about Strategy games. I love them though, so I might be able to help a little.

    OK, this setup is way more hideously unworkable than the new setup.
