it’s so weirdly common to be rude to people who need subtitles or want subtitles as if it’s some kind of nuisance to have subtitles, but honestly? normalize having subtitles on everything. overall it can help people with language barriers who can read better than they can listen to a language, it helps people with comprehension issues, it helps people who have trouble hearing, it helps in general so whatever you’re watching isn’t interrupted by someone asking what someone just said, just put subtitles on! what the hell!

I have parsing issues– which means that sometimes, even though I hear the words just fine, I can’t understand them. It sounds like a perfectly spoken string of gobbledygook. And for some reason, I get this problem LIKE CRAZY when watching movies. 

I hate asking for subtitles, but I need them.
