Glad they're open-sourcing it, since "Accessibility" falls under the umbrella of the dreaded "DEI", which means we can expect to see any government-funding for it dry up.

Luckily Ubisoft is (mostly) European so it should avoid the events in the US. I'm sure the the anti-progressives will eventually start making headway in Europe but so far the Continent at least seems to have stayed sane. I could be wrong about this but i don't think I've seen the slept agenda being pushed anywhere other than the U.K.

    The Hungarian government is insane. The Polish ones used to be as well but after the elections it is normal again. There is also Ireland with their abortion laws that are backwards. Other than that we are sane, Hungary+Ireland is not that much

      Ireland legalised abortion by referendum a while back, FWIW.

        I stand corrected. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_the_Republic_of_Ireland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_the_Republic_of_Ir... Abortion rights in Ireland are OK, I was living with old prejudices. The number of doctors that perform it is still low, but fair enough - I was all wrong. (unfortunately I cannot update my comment)

      Ireland had abortion referendum 8 years ago. If you're going to call rant and call entire countries insane and backwards then at least get your basic facts straight.

  (continental) Europe never really had much of a push in that direction, though. The whole concept of DEI / woke is not much of a thing outside the English-speaking world. Very small parts of it (gender parities, a bit more transgender awareness, the "transgender athletes in sports" kerfuffle) have leaked through, but that's it. Where I live (Poland), most people, even well-educated people, haven't ever heard of the concept of specifying your pronouns.

  The Trump admin is literally withdrawing ADA guidance without replacement. And as part of his executive orders they consider accessibility as part of the whole phrase (DEIA) [1] and are working to gut any DEIA programs. So you're factually wrong.

    So, point out or quote the portion here that says wheelchair ramps and alt tags are no longer required. Oh, that's right, you made that up.
    - fzeroracer 2y ago
      Is that really the best argument you've got when faced with the government telling you exactly what they're doing? Like if you're trying to troll you're doing an extremely poor job at it and just making yourself look bad.
      - Alupis 2y ago
        I asked you for a single quote. You can't produce one because you made this hysteria up. Nobody is banning wheel chair ramps, and nobody is banning alt tags, color contrast and the like. You are literally just making this up. Quite the fearmonger, you are.
