It’s not a deeply obscure user preference, it’s everyday life for millions of people. When you set up a new device, most operating systems have an accessibility step where you can pick the size of the text. That’s the user’s default and a lot of them don’t know how to change it on the fly for individual websites – and they shouldn’t have to because it’s crazy to expect them to adjust their settings every time they visit a new site. When websites fail to respect this, a lot of people simply get locked out of using them. Enough websites do it, and some of these people give up on the web entirely. For elderly people with vision problems, it can be especially isolating. The only thing you have to do here is not do anything. Literally just don’t use fixed font sizes. It takes extra effort to make life worse for people with vision problems. Just… don’t do that. It’s easier than fucking it up.
