I think there's special hell for people who hand code their posts (usually fics) in fancy fonts rather than the viewer's default.

Comments

Ugh. I hope they go to that special hell soon.

And if they do it writing Daredevil fic - for a character who uses a screen reader! - they go to the special special hell.

THIS. THIS. Or in different colors and font sizes.

Theother day I saw someone who had colored their text (outside of cut, mind!!) to be pink. PINK.

[ariss-tenoh.livejournal.com]

Somebody has a lot of time on their hands to bother doing that^^

[twistedsheets10.livejournal.com]

I die a little inside whenever I see posts like that. COME ON GUYS.

(also I hate those that have light colored text over a light colored background. MY EYES.)

[ariadneelda.livejournal.com]

Ugh. Most of the times it's a sure way to make me not read a story if it's coded like that.

And if there isn't, there should be.

My default background color is black. When someone picks a color that they think shows up all purty, I usually can't see it anyway. Fuck 'em.

Welp, looks like I'm going to hell then, cause I did that last year (http://aeka.livejournal.com/915612.html) as part of a social experiment I had to do. It's modified now, it was much worse back then. XD

Sounds like you would've yelled at me if you had been on my LJ that time. ^_^;;

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

lololol social experiment really? XD

I probably wouldn't have yelled, because, hmm, it's your journal, you know? But I'd have grumble to myself a lot.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I know right? My default background is white yet I still get this.

Fuck 'em heartily.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I actually tried. But I couldn't concentrate on it and then I went "fuck it! bet the story is crap anyway" and then I ranted on my lj.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I know right? WHY PEOPLE WHY

[aeka.livejournal.com]

Yes, it was a social experiment. Writing about the results was the fun part, even my prof had a laugh. XD

And trust me, you would've definitely said something to me. The font size was literally 1000 pt. If you read the comments, one person even said "this post was my entire flist." XD

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

god that's just evil.

[aeka.livejournal.com]

Well, the point of the experiment was to break a social norm of some kind, to record people's reactions, and write about them.

My original plan was to go to Walt Disney World Resort dressed as a dominatrix (and knowing Disney they would've surely escorted me out of the park), and get people's reactions. Unfortunately I got really sick that week and couldn't go out, so I settled for doing 'breaking' an internet norm instead. I did it both on my LJ and in the comments section of a comm I frequent. XD

[rexluscus.livejournal.com]

Why WHY do people do that? It's an immediate back-button for me.

[modillian.livejournal.com]

Agreed!

[i-llbedammned.livejournal.com]

It's almost like they don't want readers or something.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

right! :/
