Hey Mat, legally blind individual here. I’d like to thank you for making your videos so accessible for the visually impaired. I didn’t really consider it before, but you’re right. With the way you write your scripts, I never miss out on jokes, even with how difficult it can be to see what’s happening onscreen sometimes. Seriously man, it goes a long way and I really appreciate it.

I distinctly remember blindly picking a fruit snack out of the bag, assuming it was strawberry, and it tasting AWFUL until I realized it was raspberry, then suddenly it tasted delicious. It was such a bizarre experience, but it shows how expectation impact your interpretation of flavors and which ones you focus on.

@testerwulf3357 Год назад

I know certain flavors are linked in candies! Like apparently almond can taste like cherry or vice versa (the kind of cherry flavor used in medication typically) because they both have similar chemical makeups or something? I wonder if something similar happened with pineapple and mouthwash, like of all blue things why’d they tase mouthwash?

I believe this also happens with people trying seltzer for the first time. You go in expecting soda because its a bubbly drink in a can. Instead you get a much reduced flavor and no sugar. It really turns a lot of people off of it. Which is a shame.

I was curious if they were going to bring up Christine Ha, the winner of the third season of Master Chef. For those not familiar, she's a sight impaired cook who had to depend entirely on taste and feel to be able to keep track of how her cooking went, which makes her victory more impressive, especially combined with the difficulty of high-level cooking without sight in general.

It's affected by personal preference for each person. But for me the biggest texture turn off is a food that mixes textures together. I find it jarring and just overall unpleasant outside some exceptions. For example orange juice with pulp, or cookies/scones that have dried fruit in them. My sensitivities are more related to skin then eating so it's not so extreme for me. But for others I imagine it's much more intense. @@IrregularityRowan

@synthwolfe8906 Год назад

in response to the bit about restaurant owners including braille on the menu: my wife actually works as a cook at a local bar and grill. And they actually have braille menus available upon request. but you'd be surprised how many people never ask, because vision-impaired people are seemingly used to not being included. apparently, they have someone who comes in weekly for the last year or so. and one of the new hires noticed that he continued to wear his sunglasses inside, despite it being dim. so she asked if he would like a menu, or if he'd prefer a braille menu if he has trouble seeing (according to my wife, she worded it exactly like that). apparently the guy started crying, as for a year not one person bothered to think that he might wear his glasses inside because he couldn't see. he thanked her, and actually got to read a menu, instead of just asking the waitstaff what they thought was good or ordering something he'd had before.

@CodyHurstOfficial Год назад

Yes, 100%, because diversity and inclusiveness doesn't normally include people with disabilities, especially blind people. In a world where everything is so uninclusive, inaccessible and full of people who don't even know what accessibility actually means, why would someone expect there be a Braille menu? And yet, we still haven't figured out why employment is so difficult for those of us who are unable to see. Maybe if society restructured how we view and value people this may change, but who am I kidding, that's wishful thinking.

@synthwolfe8906 Год назад

@@CodyHurstOfficial I agree with you entirely. Its minimally intrusive to include small things, like a braille menu (or even a menu with braille on it), but it can make a MASSIVE difference for those who actually need it.

@poke-talia268 Год назад

I work in what is essentially a gas station kitchen (we make pizzas to order and some other foods) we don't have a braille menu. in fact, our menu is on a couple of TV screens way above everyone's heads. I don't mind helping people out if needed. we actually have one regular customer with limited mobility. he's a very patient guy. it would be nice if we were more accessible. (also if we had enough people so things got done)

@divVerent Год назад

Good point BTW why a menu with also braille on it is much better than a separate braille menu. Because most people would not expect the former to exist in the first place, so why even ask? Also, asking if the person is blind could nowadays be seen as offensive, so asking this just for sunglasses (and not presumably the three dots armband which is more clear) was somewhat risky. Also a reason why the blind don't get as much help as they should.

@lahlybird895 Год назад

I can confirm this I've almost never had a play if I should have a braille menu unless it was like on a disability sponsored trip where we deliberately go to restaurants that did have them and the restaurants knew we were coming so like normally I don't expect them to be there and I'm just used to letting the people I'm with tell me what's on the menu so I can order and like it works but also yeah but how would I know there's a real menu if I'm not told because it's almost never any so I don't bother to ask

@mcd8338 Год назад

@@Buzzumbud There are accessibility settings and programs that read out what is on the screen. They also come with a list of commands that are used to navigate the internet; swiping and various amount of tapping with one or multiple fingers when using a phone’/tablet, or various different keyboard commands and shortcuts when using a computer/laptop. So you use one of these methods to navigate through all the different videos, you listen to their titles (along with any other relevant information such as the name of the channel, when it was published, and video length), and then you double tap or press enter on the video that you want to listen to.

One of my favorite examples of how sight and expectations color experience was a bit from a show called Brain Games.

They then actually labeled it salmon sorbet and the reaction was much more positive.

About the obstacles in restaurants and food stores: Before the days of mobile apps, fast food places had only menus high up behind the counter that were impossible for me to read, so I just ordered the same basic meal every time. Now I can preview a menu on my phone. And when food stores move things around...! My fully sighted friends hate it, but for me, it's absolutely infuriating!

I have to say that I have always been confused about the whole smell effects taste thing. People always told me to plug my nose to eat something bad, but that never changed anything for me. I have now realized it’s because I have an extremely weak sense of smell, so it really doesn’t effect my taste at all. Does that mean I have a weaker sense of taste? Nope. My family have often said I am a super taster as I can always taste the bitter, spice, sweet, or alcohol taste in anything even when the rest of my family can’t. I do have a a bias towards sweeter things and am pretty much immune to garlic due do my extreme Italian tolerance to it.

And thank you as well for shining light the need for increased accessibility for blind/visually impaired individuals. There have been countless times where I've had to default to basic menu options at restaurants because I've struggled to read the menu/couldn't read the menu as efficiently as those in my party. Something as little as providing a large print and/or braille menu is not only helpful, but incredibly meaningful! Again, a littel effort can go a long way :).

@sabershadow27 Год назад

Would having someone else read the menu to a visually impaired individual be helpful in expanding their food options?

@kayleecaraway7216 Год назад

@@sabershadow27 That would be helpful, though it depends on the type of person you're with. Some visually impaired individuals may be open to the help while others may want to do it on their own with their own devices. In that case, just give them a little more time to look over the menu before the whole table orders. From my own personal experience, i've gotten a great deal of anxiety when others start ordering before i've decided what I want because I've felt rushed (which ultimately leads to me picking a default dood item). Either way, theres no harm in asking!

This was a really fascinating episode. Back when Crystal Pepsi was first released, I remember thinking that it had a slight lemon-lime flavor. I've never heard anyone else describe it that way and now, I think I understand why I got that impression of it. Btw, It was very nice to see an episode with such a focus on disability, and even a accessibility-oriented ad, less than a week away from the start of Disability Pride Month. Thanks for everything you do to make your videos more accessible.

With the whole "senses affecting the way you perceive taste" thing, it reminded me of a question I've had for a while, how can foods that smell awful (Durian, fancy cheese, even boiled eggs) still taste good when they smell so bad? Throwing the idea out there. I love your videos!

About ten years or so ago I was working for a vape company, and we got a batch of one of our most popular flavors of liquids that was made with nicotine that had oxidized slightly, giving the liquid a pinkish color instead of the usual amber color. The actual flavor was unaffected, but customers swore up and down that they had received mislabled strawberry flavor.

@BlueRoseSteakhouse Год назад

As a chef I agree 100% that the visual presentation has a bigger affect on the taste than most people realize. Also as for menus Perkins Library is an excellent source even if you only do your primary offerings with a note suggesting for rotational items being asked of the server. This is a little cost that has a huge impact on a very specific customer.

Hey I'm a graphic designer for college and one huge thing that I've learned when it comes to design is looking out for what colors that you're using. As things like orange or gray text are really hard for people with color blindness to read. Also did you know that outside of the times New Roman, Ariel and helvetica founts most text to speech readers will have a harder time reading those which is ironic because there's an entire font called dyslexia font which is supposed to help people with dyslexia. Sorry I just thought I would share

@superfreq7378 Год назад

I have been visually impaired since birth and fully blind since about the age of four. This was a really interesting video on a topic that in hindsight seems obvious but it's just something that I never really gave much thought to. I appreciated your explanation of universal design/universal accessibility as well. Coming from someone with as big of a viewer base as you have can make a big difference. if even a handful of people remember what you said when hiring decisions come up or an accessibility if she comes up where they work, it could have a ripple effect. thank you for the alt text and inclusive scripts. Most content creators don't consider that, but leading by example can definitely help spread the word. accessibility is intimidating for most people, so making it more understandable can help people become more comfortable with it.

@give_me_my_nick_back Год назад

I've just realized I could have similar dilemma with a certain brand of beer - they had couple of different color labels and I'd always argue with father whether each label tasted any different and which was the best haha most likely they were the same. It's a shame i never checked the ingredients list as the name would be the same of course just the label colors were different.

@rockpupproductions5314 Год назад

I was born without a sense of smell, a condition known as anosmia. Taste is strange, a lot of people ask me if onions and apples taste the same because allegedly if you plug your nose they do. But for me, having always just... tasted without my nose, they taste different no matter what. Sight and feel on the other hand can drastically change how I experience food (sometimes more than actual flavor)

@SilverCookie412 Год назад

Hello fellow anosmic! Same here. Whenever I tell someone I can’t smell, people always ask if I can taste because it’s assumed that you can’t have one without the other. I think my sense of taste is generally fine, I just don’t think it’s as nuanced as other people. I love eating apples, not a fan of onions, but I think it’s the texture difference that tells me it’s an onion

@IceMetalPunk Год назад

I've never tried eating apples or onions with my nose plugged, but... I can't imagine they actually taste the same. Onions are such a strong flavor, I can't believe that's all down to smell... It sounds like one of those meme legends that are BS but spread around the internet anyway.

@poke-talia268 Год назад

not anosmic, but back in December of 2020, I caught covid from my dad. my taste wasn't affected, but I couldn't smell anything. it was different than when you plug your nose and taste something. an odd experience for me. I can't really ask if that's what it's like for you if you were born without a sense of smell, but it's still interesting. idk

@zackbuildit88 Год назад

@@IceMetalPunk "all down to smell" is a bit of a misinterpretation.

What’s interesting is this makes me think of Hell’s Kitchen. Every single season has an episode towards the end of the season which is the Blind Taste test. Gordon has his contestants have blindfolds on, fed an ingredient, and they had to answer what it was. This does very much effect his opinion going forward. The contestants who get more correct typically stick around longer while those who answer every sample incorrectly are let go soon after. This did get changed after a while to remove texture, one episode made all ingredients into ice cream for this effect.

Hey MatPat, my fiance has struggled with an ED for years. She can eat frequently now, but she likes to default to comfort foods, mostly being fast food and mac n cheese. You mentioned sight can affect ED's, but only briefly. Could an individual (or a fiance of an individual) manipulate the sight of themself (or her) to lower the effects of an ED? I'm not in the psych field and what research I've done has boiled down to people basically saying "just eat" and "fix your perspective", which doesn't help me help her.

@adelenoel3843 Год назад

Hey so the best thing for her is to find a therapist/psychiatrist that works with her (don't settle for one if they aren't vibing or whatever with her move on to a different one. No good therapist should be mad that things didn't work out) If unable to afford a therapist/psychiatrist then a support group could work too (the ones that like meet once a week/every two weeks/etc. that are people that have/are going through things like her)

@YesIlikebananasSo Год назад

@ashlingteirney7543 Год назад

I've actually started treatment for an ED and while I know being told to change your perception isn't helpful on its own I have found if you have other supports helping you do that it really can help. I would suggest finding a therapist and/or nutritionist who has experience dealing with EDs as they can help her sync back up with her body's natural hunger signals and also help identify the root of the ED. Bonus points if they use Intuitive Eating. Another thing is in my experience sometimes part of the problem is the effort of cooking isnt worth the end result of food, maybe you can start cooking or pre-prepping a small variety of meals in advance so she can just pop it into the microwave and eat. Overall the fact that you are there to support and understand her through this will help immensely and to start I would advise not to focus on changing what she eats but focusing first on getting her to eat consistently as that will help her metabolism and things that shes missing in her diet can later be added. Restriction is a tricky thing and usually causes more problems in ED recovery.

Could you make a healthier homemade mac n cheese and try to match the visual appearance/flavor of the stuff she likes? Ditto with whatever fast foods she likes? Anything homemade will at least radically cut the salt and sugar intake compared to fast food or boxed mix.

@purrfurr4803 Год назад

I'd like to ask that Team Theorist starts trying to use close captions in their videos since this video focuses on accessibility for everyone. It'd help people with hearing impairments or audio processing disorders. I have an audio disorder that makes it hard to hear words properly sometimes; even if the person articulates perfectly fine, like Matpat, a lot of the time the words sound like a garbled mess; kinda like simlish or something. Captions help keep my brain on the right track, and help me understand and enjoy the media I'm watching more.

I would say it all is down to association. People associate colors with certain foods, tastes, memories, letters, and other things. Association is about what we're used to, and what we already know. Usually when you have a piece of food that's red or pink, you would automatically think it's cherry, strawberry, watermelon, or fruit punch flavored right?

Hey Mat, adding to this blindness food theory, I remembered when I described how is it to understand a film about audio description to my dad. Since I don't know any platform on how to ask you for a theory, for film theory you could try audio descriptions, it's surely a different perception of what you've seen in a film you already watched with your eyes.

I remember I went to one hotel and there was a blind convention going on. Now in my opinion after observing some of people while staying at the time, I felt like the hotel as well as volunteer staff for the convention was low. There were plenty of places where they could have improved and honestly had indirectly made me very upset on how navigation is such a huge deal. I at one point helped someone get to their room because they were utterly lost and deeply upset (lost for an 1hr!). Anyway the only place I felt was an impressive mark (though now reflecting on it should be standard practice) was how the hotel restaurant and other restaurants in the area had the alternative menu for the blind.

@moviemaker2011z Год назад

@@danielrhouck well, I would say it's an inclusive issue only because it alienates those that do not like the video and essentially silences those that are leaving potentially reasonable feedback. That would be like if Google, bing, or any other reviewing website removed any rating that was less than 3 stars. So you only got 4 stars and above which would artificially make places seem better than they are thus giving them MORE business when in actuality they should not. Granted you can't see the like to dislike ratio until you click on the video, but if I click on a video and I see let's say 60k likes but 800k dislikes I have a very fair reason to assume that the video might not be what I am expecting or anticipating to see. However if I cannot see the dislikes that 800k now becomes silent and I now have to watch a video and provide revenue for content that doesn't deserve it or is unwarranted. The idea behind getting rid of the dislike button was to hide their shame from the youtube rewind getting a record number of dislikes. But they had to act as if it was because they cared about small content creators who regardless still see the dislikes so nothing changes except the fact that people like you and me cannot see the true ratio of like to dislike. It's not inclusive, it alienates, and it poses more harm than good. But hey that's just me, maybe I'm over thinking it.
