therian box in two shades of blue, the text reads "this user's theriotype is a gray wolf", there's a picture of a gray wolf on the left and the therianthropy symbol on the top right corner.

becoming jokerfied at the realization a ton of people everywhere have no idea what alt text should be used for when it comes to describing images posted online. it's for accessibility!! it's not for "easter eggs" or secret messages.

I get why many artists wouldn't wanna spend the time doing that but c'mon it takes so little effort to write a basic description of your art, you don't even have to be hyper thorough. I remember one artist saying once that they should write nonsense in the alt text box so AI scrapers would get screwed over not realizing that they'd also be screwing over everyone who makes use of image descriptions, then they got lost arguing that art is a visual medium and they couldn't describe it to people anyways and it was a mess. I think they became less of a shithead but this "why bother" mentality people have online sucks. it's nice to try and make the world more accessible for everyone, especially art.

This is the example I always use, ESPECIALLY when it comes to artists saying their art is too hard to describe:

If you don't write anything, the screen reader is just going to say "image".

If you write the words "say hello to my little friend" with a picture and it just says image, then someone using a screenreader has no idea what this post means.

And it makes a big, big difference whether that image is a photo of your new tiny kitten or a photo of your dick.

Even just writing "cat pic" or "dick pic" makes a gigantic difference in understanding, you don't have to write a long essay about your painting of a lake to do the bare minimum of writing "painting of a lake" in the box. If you can't even do that, then you don't give a shit.
