Communities like this (rblind.com) and r/blind are focused on serving the blind and visually impaired community, including friends and family. They’re also valuable as an opportunity for people outside the community to learn about the blind experience.
That brings us to the question: sighted friends, what have you learned that you’d like to share?
@MostlyBlindGamer @alttexthalloffame I was a bit surprised that there’s a sizable community of blind gamers.
One thing I’ve realized over the past few years is that it’s not the disability that keeps you from enjoying life, it really is about how the rest of the world treats you.
And it’s always great to see when people put in the effort to make sure everyone is included.
[raises hand] Yeah and it keeps getting better and better with improvements to mainstream videogame accessibility.
@MostlyBlindGamer That’s really great to hear!
