No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Would you, perhaps, like to suggest a better text colour/background colour?
There are almost infinite variations and I could go through all of them before I find one that suits everyone, so if I had a place to start from, that would be helpful.
I think dark text on a light background is the main distinction that helps, though you wouldn't wanna do blue/yellow or red/green due to color blindness.
I think the issue with the font itself is that you're using a font designed for print media which is hard to read on a screen for folks with vision and reading related disabilities
Everyone should really just be adding a transcript regardless though, that way it doesn't matter. On Android, I use the OCR tool in the "Image Toolbox" app available on Fdroid (I'm guilty of not doing this myself often btw- I need to be better about it myself)
By way of explanation (and it is explanation, not excuse, just to be clear) what you see is exactly what it looks like when I view it on tumblr in my feed.
I will see if I can adjust my skin (so to speak) and perhaps make it better.
The transcript part might be harder, because sometimes I post hundred of lines at once, and (with all due respect) if I am going to start doing that I'll just end up not posting as often because if I am formatting a text post of 500+ lines into a single image it can take upwards of ten, fifteen minutes, and then having to get transcribe that (even with some automated process) just takes all the fun out of what I'm doing.
I understand the need for accessibility (I get it A LOT at work - we review all the software we produce before we release it) but this isn't work, it's fun and when it stops being fun then I'm just not going to bother :)
Fair enough! When I feel that way is also when I leave it out, so I totally understand
Holy shit Image Toolbox has OCR?! Damn I'll keep that in mind for future purposes.
