who writes peacock subtitles? i want to say it’s clearly someone who can’t hear, but at least deaf/hoh people can usually read lips. how does “feel better” get turned into “bye-bye”? and i swear sometimes the subtitles say “thank you” only because you would expect the character to say that. like whoever’s writing them is an annoying mom reminding you to thank your aunt for your birthday present

#please tell me if this post is offensive #i’m a little drunk but i mean only the best #like these subtitles are so bad it’s ableist #i’m lucky i can hear it’s only sensory processing issues that i need captions for #and i can always rewind if i miss something #but it’s still annoying and distracting #and i just keep thinking about how much it must suck to be deaf/hoh and want to watch a show on peacock #the captions are plain white so they blend in if the show is light #and they’re often wrong or just skip sentences or add new ones #music has no indicator so song lyrics interrupt conversations with the same font and everything #anyway it’s annoying #and i’m sorry if anything i said was ableist
