I'm not fond of "we do things the pretty way but we will make them accessible upon request". I'm glad they have an accessibility policy, but I wish they made accessible bingo cards -- either as alternatives, or making really pretty ones with CSS, which is quite possible.

...oh, noes. "really pretty cards with CSS is quite possible"?!?!?

Can you point me, a CSS n00b, to a resource or example?

Hey, I'm the one who wrote the accessibility policy over there -- thanks for letting me know that the "pretty" part came off as flippant, because I had meant it as a sort of shorthand for "meet our needs." There are actually a whole bunch of reasons that we do them as jpgs, all of which are more important to us than the pretty part (we need them to be download/repost/hotlinkable, we need to be able to give them out in comments, we need to be able to automate the way we make them, and I have limited typing so I need to be able to basically just c/p a hotlink to the card in the comments) -- I tried to clarify that more over there.

We're not maried to jpg images, though, they're just the only thing we know about that fits the rest of our needs, and if there's a better solution with css I would love to hear more about it!

i'm confused as to why they have an "accessibility policy" which spends more time on issues of consent and asexuality than actual accessibility

and the so-called "accessibility policy" simply says "ha, we'll continue to be inaccessible and we'll like it!"

If being constantly triggered by non-consensual activity prevents you from (fully) participating then that is an accessibility issue.

This does not in any way negate issues/limitations/lack of consideration in other areas - but I'm actually really happy to see ptsd and similar considered as part of accessibility.

Your comment was offensive and hurtful. There are many, many ways to be disabled (or simply in need of "actual" assistance), even if you don't personally approve of them. I hope that's clearer.
