| I guess I’m glad they’re focusing on this rather than breaking something else in society |

| ▲ | chinathrow 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Point is they're doing both, at once. |

| The point being that if the change to Calibri has been done to improve accessibility (hence: inclusion) that makes it woke. Which is stupid, of course, especially considering that sans-serif fonts improve readability on screens for most people, not for a minority. EDIT: extraneous "don't" in the middle of a sentence |

| ▲ | goku12 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | So what next? Wheelchair ramps? Seats for the elderly and the pregnant? Accessibility features don't displace or even inconvenience the majority in any manner. They only make facilities accessible to an additional crowd, who should be getting them as a matter of right in the first place. What's the end game here? | | |

| ▲ | ndsipa_pomu 2 days ago | parent [-] | | They can be if a font is chosen due to it being easier to read for some people and then it's reverted so that those people will then struggle to read. It's akin to removing ramps from shops to make it awkward for those in wheelchairs. |

| It's just ragebaiting. Don't take the bait. If I say I bought a yellow car, nobody cares. If I say I bought a yellow car to troll the libtards, now everybody is mad even though what I said makes no sense and it all has little consequence anyway. |
