Person on Tumblr: Why would people need subtitles for a show that's in English, WTF?

Lots of other people in reblogs: Audio processing disorder, sound mixing in shows has gone to shit, I like to eat crunchy things while watching, etc.

Me, deliberately not reblogging: Interesting that you specify "English" there, and also use the word "subtitles" instead of "captions", because that means that my first thought is that the watcher doesn't necessarily know English. Like, I get that we're assuming that the subtitles are also in English, but OP really didn't specify that, and it's kind of a glaring oversight on everyone's part here.


Yeah, pretty sure adding that in a reblog wouldn't actually help anything, so I'm just keeping it here so I don't go bananas trying not to say it.

Look at you, wisely preserving your energy!

Thank you 😂 But yeah, the post itself has enough notes that I'm sure that someone has already brought it up, so the only reason for me to bring it up myself would be for either my own followers or for my own self satisfaction. When it comes to the first part, I'm trying to reduce my activity on Tumblr (with mixed success), and with regards to the second, I managed to get it just as easily by posting it here instead ✌
