Accessibility and default text

Via access_fandom I came across the post suggestion for style documentation which alerted me to the fact that not only does a change like "make a comment" to "leave a footprint" cause people issues (especially if they're feeling brain-foggy), but even easy-to-interpret changes like "Comment here!" mess up screen navigation macros for people using certain types of readers.

So, though it pained me I have reset all of mine to the default. I may change some of them back if I feel heavily inspired to, but a lot of the changes were kind of arbitrary and silly.

(Yes, such people can always use style=mine but this way they have a chance to see the little chickens on my lj!)

Blah Sinfest

I always feel weird going out on a limb about American racism in case I'm missing some cultural cue.

But equating the segregation of African Americans with "intolerance" towards devils and evil feels ever so slightly off to me. I mean that sort of metaphor is always a bit problematic, but usually it's not quite such an explicit equating-ness(*).

I am reminded of why I try not to read Sinfest. It sucks me in with the adorable drawing style and cute humour, and then bats me around with it's creepy attitudes towards gender etc.

(*)"Equality" has too much of a double meaning for this sentence :)
