Why does gaming has to be the ground zero for these nutters? How about going after actual society instead. Convince everyone to stop calling it a "blind" date.

This is basically like creationists targeting schools instead of the scientific community to sneak their bullshit in by the less guarded backdoor.

How is this less dumb because peoples' "how did blind people see it to get offended?" jokes aren't 100% accurate and true to life?

Where do we draw the line on complaining about legit offensive terms and just complaining for the sake of it from people blindly following the mind hive?! Plus these people tend to do this for clicks and attention rather than actual caring about the community. Now let's go cancel any rerun of the show blind date.

That is typically what it means. Which is why replacing it with "first playthrough" doesn't always work.

A replacement tag needs to communicate that the streamer doesnt know anything about the game.

Maybe Twitter Playthrough

Twitch should just go right on ahead and delete itself, as their VERY NAME is offensive to people who have any of a various number of disorders that cause twitching.

It's probably frustrating searching for actual blind playthroughs (blind people) when everywhere you look turns up first playthroughs instead. This language is clearer and will make it easier to find blind players.
ohhh yeah you're probably right now that I think about it

the real kicker here is that Twitch was given a list of things they could do to make the platform more accessible for people with vision problems. things like screen reader compatibility, adding contrast options, etc.

they did none of it, choosing instead to pull this shit

so not only is this forcing the introduction of a stigma where there wasn't one previously, it's happening because the company ignored actual advice that they got from blind people

Just checked my settings, Blind Playthrough was actually removed and there is a First Playthrough tag.

You're better than typical reactionary CE fair. It's just real easy to acknowledge that blind has multiple meanings. Double blind, poker blind, blind run, visually blind.

This is a dumb non-issue.

Well it's pretty presumptuous to think that just because you don't use the tag to search for and/or stream with, that everybody else here doesn't do it as well.
