Dating a blind girl
All of her friends are blind
Love that she holds my arm when we’re out
Love that she eventually got used to my apartment and can now navigate around by herself
Love that her guide dog is super friendly and is always on the job to help her.
Love that her family sees me as a great person because her being blind doesn’t bother me
Love that she doesn’t use the internet because it’s too much hassle
Love that she requests I read new books for her in my voice and record them so she has her own boyfriend audiobook library.
It says “doesn’t use the internet”, not “can’t use the internet”. Whilst the internet has become more accessible over time through the use of screen readers etc, accessibility is unfortunately not considered a priority for many apps and websites. It’s trickier to navigate the web as a blind person because websites are primarily designed to be looked at, not heard. It’s not unreasonable that she might just not want to use it, even though she could learn to.
What’d the parent comment say?
Did it break rules?
You can check the modlog. The reason given is “automod,” which seems quite bizarre to me, especially given that there are no objectionable keywords in the comment, and that it was removed 2 hours after it was made.
“Blind” is ableist language, the preferred term is unsighted
