Oh how, I wish I lived in your world where businesses are fall over themselves trying to provide those with disabilities with all kinds of accommodations. Sadly, in the real world, they don’t - many of these accommodations came about due to lawsuits, and some of these ‘accommodations’ are often of poor quality, just…

I feel your pain. I’m Deaf and am reminded on a daily basis how the hearing world thinks so little of those with hearing loss. I just cannot understand how people can react so strongly to captioning when the purpose of it is to allow accessibility to those who cannot hear. Like, dude, it HELPS people. It’s not there…

I’d agree with you but then I’m puzzled by this statement: “ However, one of Showcase’s managers declined to accommodate them, arguing that activating the captions would be unfair to the other audience members.” It seem as they COULD be didn’t want to out of the fear of inconveniencing the able-bodied attendees.
