it’s so weirdly common to be rude to people who need subtitles or want subtitles as if it’s some kind of nuisance to have subtitles, but honestly? normalize having subtitles on everything. overall it can help people with language barriers who can read better than they can listen to a language, it helps people with comprehension issues, it helps people who have trouble hearing, it helps in general so whatever you’re watching isn’t interrupted by someone asking what someone just said, just put subtitles on! what the hell!
look, I’m Belgian, we put subtitles under everything instead of overdubbing and lemme tell you if a whole nation can survive that without whinging, so can you.
This is a thing I love about movies in Switzerland!
And I hate that movies and TV in Spain don’t do it! Everything is always better in the original language and subtitles than it is dubbed!
