>You're not advocating for a bold, artistic world when you talk about engineering things to pointlessly exclude people.
This world already exists. You're delusional if it doesn't. I use the word cruel, but you must know that cruel = reality. That's all I'm saying. 99% of the world is not designed for deaf people or blind people. There are arbitrary restrictions on certain things but this is reality and it's not going to change because engineering everything to account for these people come with an engineering cost.
It is not "pointlessly excluding," it's just not worth the engineering cost. But you know this. Any person is aware of this and the reality of the world. There is zero need to call it "pointlessly excluding" that's just a manipulative way of advocating your agenda.
>And I don't know anyone who would seriously claim that the Godfather is lessened as an artistic expression just because deaf people can turn on subtitles.
I don't know either. Did you or I make this claim? Perhaps nobody made this claim and your pulling this example out of nowhere to serve your agenda. You know video games don't account for blind people. This is purely out of cruelty of course, no way does it have anything to do with engineering cost. Obviously you don't know a thing about the cost of engineering mechanisms to get these games to work for blind people so that's why you didn't mention it. Of course it wasn't at all a deliberate choice not to mention the engineering cost to serve your own agenda.
