More Detail Isn't Always Better

When it comes to imagine descriptions, context is most important. More detail isn't always better (and it can actually make it worse sometimes).

To take an example from a real post that I can't find a link to anymore, imagine someone says, "Shocking how many people don't know that hens lay non-fertilized eggs and think the yolk they're eating is a baby chicken." Someone else reblogs and says, "once tried desperately to make my friend understand that yolks were not, like, a liquified potentiality of a chicken, and she looked at me for a while and then said, "but they're both yellow." Then a third person reblogs this thread and says "Behold, a chicken" with an large PNG of a photo of a whole lemon with a blank transparent background." A fourth person reblogs saying "[image: a lemon.]"

That's okay. Like yes, you could say [image id: a large photo of a whole uncut yellow lemon with a transparent background.]" But that wouldn't add anything to the thread, it wouldn't help further clarify the context. In this case, the actual ID is just as good as, if not better, than the more detailed one.

The same goes for plain text transcriptions. Unless the formatting is conveying meaning, don't include it in your transcription! At best, it's extra info that doesn't add anything; at worst, it actually make your transcription harder to read than the original. For example, let's say you had this original text:

My absolute favorite character in ALL of Steven Universe is PEARL!

Which of these plain text versions is more useful?

[Plain Text Transcription: My absolute favorite character in all of Steven Universe is Pearl!" End Transcription.]

[Plain Text Transcription: My (italics) absolute (end italics) (bold) favorite (end bold) character in (caps) all (end caps) of Steven Universe is (caps) Pearl (end caps)!" End Transcription.]

Probably the first one, right?

One of my favorite genres of Team Fortress 2 fanfiction is, "I, the author, am going through the most difficult time of my life right now and I'm making it specifically the Scout's problem."

This video talks about a Splatoon weapon whose appearance resembles a pencil, but taken out of context it looks as if it's calling an actual pencil overpowered and I find that hilarious.

I fucking knew it, I SAID it: they're making ADHD people the next culture war targets. They will 'just ask questions' until we lose every scrap of ground we've gained in the last decade and more. We may not quite inspire the same level of hatred as a sexual minority, but we can very easily be made to inspire disdain and that also works.

They will strip us of our accomodations and our medications and try to stifle any sense of shared identity, and if that kills some of us, oh well. So long as it fuels another outrage cycle, fine.

So many of the tropes they've been using on trans people work extremely well on ADHD people too! "There are too many of these people suddenly! It must be a fad! It spreads through friend groups! And online! People are going private for diagnoses and that's bad! They are using pOwERfUl medical interventions and we think it's freaky!"

I saw the first ripples of this in terf circles about two years ago. And of course it's spread.

6% of British ADHD people lost their jobs in the last year thanks to the meds shortage. SIX PER CENT! And that just made these ghouls go "ooh, tasty, what else can we do?"

Recently an 'expert' was on the BBC saying people see ADHD diagnosis as a "golden ticket." Laurence Fox has been ranting that the condition doesn't exist and threatening "'you won't poison my child's body [with ADHD meds] against my consent"

People need to be aware this is going to get worse. Maybe, if we're lucky, it won't get really bad. But it's going to get worse than it is now.
