For all you retarded fucks who have an objection to this being done, set your computer to interpret red as green (or vice versa) for a while and see how much you like it. Making things easier for people is good. Of course, I also think SC2 should have things like recordable macros (because I hate that "progaming" is about who clicks fastest, and I have terrible speed myself), so feel free to take the above with a grain of salt. | ||

I doubt that red-green colorblind people would object to having an option to turn the color red into purple. | ||

Based on your logic they should gut the graphics so these unfortunate people can have a good sc2 expierence. Doesn't work that way. But that being said there's no negative side for them making it colorblind accessable unlike the example I gave. And the example you gave... If they can make it more accessable for color blind people great. I have no problem with it. But that doesnt mean I'm dumb for saying he's a small minority. He is. | ||

Did I say they shouldn't do it? No. I'm all for it. It doesn't affect me any. But notice you don't see a whole lot of other colorblind people chiming in saying they have the same problem, because there aren't very many of them. On the other hand, I think having customizable race colors is much much more important. | ||

1. Nobody asked to be born colourblind. If you are too lazy to practice and you can't play it properly, that's your fault. If you are colourblind, it's not your fault, and you shouldn't be disadvantaged. You gonna tell me that not having legs and being too lazy to climb stairs are the same things? 2. Starcraft is a game of skill. Being born colourblind should not disqualify one from playing it because colourblindness shouldn't affect any of the skills needed to play the game. 3. The fix is so unbelievably simple that there's no reason not to do it. Buildings cannot cater for ALL disabilities. However, it doesn't cost much to install a ramp. Therefore they do it. We're not asking for massive changes so that every man, woman and child can play the game. I think being too lazy to read and think about the OP should be banworthy. | ||

OP asked whether he was in a small minority and therefore should just suck it up, and you replied in kind. The stats on the colorblind people were already given many times over. It's not that rare. | ||

I could be a lame ass like you and post a wiki or dictionary link explaining what small minority is, but I won't. Also you can put words in my mouth if you want but I never said them. I say what I mean. | ||

Actually they do it because there's a federal law thanks to the ADA passed during FDR's administration  But your point remains equally valid. | ||

I say what I mean. ok, then plase explain what you meant by your "blind people can't see the dot too". how was that relevant at all? and as for your "look, there isn't a lot of colorblind people that are chiming in on this issue, clearly it's pretty rare" ... in this very thread, there's about 50 unique posters, and 7 have explicitly identified themselves as colorblind (whether partial or otherwise), several more have mentioned friends of theirs. more may have just not mentioned it. well, i think the discussion has run its course especially with robo's post below, which is quite reassuring. thanks in advance, blizzard :-) | ||

You'll notice the following: A new Color Blind option is available under the Interface panel. I'm partially color blind too and most of the time it sucks. I got teased a lot in elementary school art class 'cause I'd draw red grass and stuff if I had to use those color pencils that didn't have the name of the color written on the side ^^ | ||

No law was passed to require buildings to have multilingual lift operators who also knew sign language in order to cater for people of all disabilities from all countries. | ||

Do you want a medal? Do you want an award for not having a genetic disability that isn't the fault of the person with it? Would you walk up to someone that had no leg from birth and laugh in his/her face and say "haha our country is better than yours because this doesn't happen!" If not, shut the fuck up, thanks. 4: Having a thing against disabled people is not something to brag about. 5: You're suggesting that color blind people play less games in order for the 10% to not translate to 10% of male gamers. Provide evidence for this (you won't find any because it's untrue) or shut the fuck up. GTFO racist, thanks Owned. | ||

No law was passed to require buildings to have multilingual lift operators who also knew sign language in order to cater for people of all disabilities from all countries. More likely it was passed because the president had polio and was in a wheel chair but ok;) And it passed the senate and house because the president was immensely popular having gotten the US out of the great depression and he was also a war time president. Not only that but if you take into account all the changes that had to be made collectively in order to comply with the ADA it was immensely expensive But it DID provide a lot of jobs temporarily.So no the law was not passed for the reason you listed, I think it's safe to say. Sorry, nothing beats a good ADA debate I bet if we had a popular deaf president who didn't sign ASL and didnt know how to use an elevator we might see a law like that as well! For some reason though, I feel that's unlikely lol. | ||

I'm a damned animator... my passion is art, and I'm fucked over with this stupid ass condition. How do you think that feels? Yeah, maybe I'm a bit of an attention whore about it, but I don't care, it's a bullshit condition that they should have come up with a fix for already | ||
