The rising 2017 - Discrimination

[Bourne_Endeavor]

I know it's still pretty early in the year with many great threads yet to be created but I'd like to nominate this for best thread of 2017.

I don't think I have seen such unity from the forums since the tumblr crap back when the New World glamor came out XD

I'm sure there is something else that allows people to have perfect spelling and punctuation as well... *right clicks* Oh hey a spell checker that also checks for grammar... what do you know ;P

That will normally catch "i" and replace it with "I", but that simple error was in the OP twice.

I'm sorry but... this isn't discrimination, and it's not a mistake, it's a puzzle, I didn't look at the letters and try to figure out what word it could be, I checked in the dungeon which letter overlapped with what number and wrote those down, and BAM there was the answer.

It's a puzzle, don't make it an issue...

I also suffer from Dyslexia and for me puzzle solving can be very difficult for me. Its not as easy as you make it sound also some one with dyslexia wouldn't automatically figure it out like you did. I end up looking for the answer on google on how to solve the puzzle.

Glorious, isn't it? *offers popcorn*

There is software available that allows even blind people to use the computer w/ a braile keyboard. Its called JAWS. I'm sure there is something else that allows people to have perfect spelling and punctuation as well... *right clicks* Oh hey a spell checker that also checks for grammar... what do you know ;P

You mean someone with a disability has something to assist them with overcoming their disability? Like they have resources and help available to them? It's almost like if someone had a problem reading something they could, I don't know, ask literally anyone to help them? Like OP could have done to easily bypass this obstacle, it would have even taken less effort than making a whole thread and engaging here playing like they're being victimized by a company because one tiny miniscule thing wasn't catered to their very specific disability.

You'll have to excuse me if I'm hardly sympathetic.

So by the OPs line of thinking, SE should just shut down the servers because blind people can't see floor mechanics... or anything else for that matter. Thanks OP for ruining something that is intended to be a fun puzzle challenge for the majority of its players.

I believe I tend to have more sympathy than I'd wager most people do towards folks with disabilities but when people with said disabilities expect everyone and everything else should cater specifically to them because of it, I have to roll my eyes in disgust. I have several friends who are diagnosed with dyslexia and I guarantee you if I went and presented this situation you have complained about here, they would laugh uncontrollably at your request. In fact, I'm certain that they would simply ask others to help them (as you should have) for assistance in completing it, realizing they have other gifts and talents that others simply do not have, for which they can return the favor at a later time.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news if no one has ever told you this before but...

THE WORLD CANNOT AND WILL NOT EVER COMPLETELY CONFORM TO YOUR DISABILITY. LEARN TO OVERCOME YOUR OBSTACLES IN LIFE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HAS TO.

It's unfortunate that some people have difficulties that affect their day to day lives. Ultimately, though, it's unreasonable to expect someone or something to accommodate absolutely everybody.

Can someone please tell me how people who have Dyslexia can do this please, ill make it short and sweet - they can not.

I have dyslexia and I had no issues with it.
