Since the Artfight season has started I've been facing so many difficulties on the website when it comes to other users not being considerate of us people with photosensitivity and/or photophobia. There are many many people's pages I can't safely access because they chose to make the color of their fonts lime green and neon purple, and have flashing gifs between each lines of text. Or they have all their fonts to be colored in pastels so now anyone on light mode cannot read any of their text. Or they decide to make all their character refs be super eyestraining with no alternative pictures that are desaturated. And also, it feels like nobody on this website filters their stuff correctly. I've already had to report people for not filtering things correctly for eyestrain. Look people, I get that you want your aesthetics, but until ArtFight themselves implements accessibility features (which they only will if we all pay them enough money), you need to make your pages accessible. People will not even be able to attack you if your page is inaccessible. There have been many ocs I've seen that I thought would be awesome to draw, but their description is unreadable for me, or the persons character permissions I cannot read. Sorry if this is a long one, but ooooouff I'm a little upset and hoping maybe some other ArtFighters may see this and check their pages for accessibility.
This is ableism. Unfortunately Art Fight is extremely corporate and slop and I don’t like how they handled the controversy regarding Takaia, so I try to play smaller art games myself if I want to draw people’s characters. I’m doing art fight this year, but only because my mutuals are doing it so I can just attack them.
