I'm on Team Subtitle. One of my favorite subtitles of all time is from "The Expanse." In one scene, as Amos is searching for something, the subtitle pops up, *Investigatory Synth Music*, and that is so odd that I've never forgotten it.
@@Laura_Norda it is but generally gay bars are filled with men. I'd guess a lesbian bar/club would be kind of a more exclusively for lesbians and queer women
@@friendlyneigborhoodbeanI’ve never been to a gay bar despite really wanting to go to one (just generally, it’s stressful leaving the house), but I kind of always figured that they were just generally meant for more than just gay men, but I also figured that that is probably the core demographic that goes there. So every now and then it’s popped into my head “wait… so lesbians tend to also go to gay bars or do they have bars specifically aimed towards them?”
@@TrickyTricky914 so gay bars are like a shared thing but gay bars tend to be more male dominated. There's not very many spots specifically for queer women (Correct me if I'm wrong. I've never been to a gay bar I'm underage and from a country that doesn't really have those places, this is just from what I've gathered)
i’m 19 but with adhd subtitles can make it a lot easier for me to follow a storyline because i’m receiving the plot points both visually and auditorily
yes!! i’m twenty and also have ADD+some auditory processing stuff related to dyslexia but i literally never thought about how that might be impacting my media watching experience. i don’t use subtitles all the time but it just depends and now i’m realizing that’s probably part of it lol
I think there should be more subtitles. Specifically in movie theaters. The machines Deaf people use to watch movies in theaters are notoriously bad but movie theaters don't want to do subtitled showings because there's not "enough demand". Anyway I just want to go see movies with my Deaf and hoh friends without having to go at 2pm on a Wednesday.
I feel like it wouldnt be that hard for them to give at the very least pre-set devices that have the subtitles come at the right time. That way people can use them if they need without everyone else complaining
@@gmiill Thats what they have now. But there are two major issues. The first is that theaters don't properly maintain them so they tend to be faulty. The second is with the way binocular vision works in humans. Your eyes can't focus on something close to you and far away at the same time, so whenever you're reading the captions up close the movie itself is blurry and unfocused.
How about like an invisible ink type thing? The subtitles are always there but aren't visible to the naked eye. But if you wear a certain type of glasses (like 3d glasses) they appear.
As a 39 year old I'd have to say subtitles are a regular thing and not an "old person" thing. We started using them while watching Outlander and Game of Thrones. It really helps with accents
I have always liked subtitles. I have auditory processing issues and adhd, and it helps me stay focused on the story and take in what is being said better.
Maybe it's cause I am bilingual, or cause I watch anime a lot, but subtitles have always been a part of life. I feel it's usually Americans that tend to have an issue with them. It's the vibe I've always gotten anyway
I have an auditory processing disorder and have used subtitles since I could read but I do agree it is frustrating when the subtitles spoil something or are placed strangely. And I feel like american movies/shows struggle with it more. It is particularly why I watch so much anime because the have the subtitles down pat.
@@ceeceepg Yeah, I think cause English speakers are not used to it, they've also not understood how to make them right. I think the Spanish subtitles on things are pretty good from what I remember
When you said that, I looked at Rhett more closely and his shirt at first I Thought said "Lion" or "MythiLion" for a split second. The M which drags on the right side to almost make it look like an L and then with the T it looked for a second it turned into an L as well and if I ignore the H and C it's just Lion. Boy did I jump some hoops for that one. And I'm probably the only person who thought this, period. 🤣
i always have subtitles on for one because of auditory processing issues (i prefer to not miss huge chunks of dialogue) and secondly i generally watch things in their original language, so obv subtitles are needed then
When Link said he was developing the skill to focus on the movie rather than the subtitles, I find myself trying so hard to avoid looking at the subtitles on this video when prior to this conversation it wasn't a problem LOL
@@jennymcelligott breakfast club is one of my favorite movies of all time…. i think it’s super important to view movies & other media through the lens of the time it was released because it is such a big part of what the artist’s vision was (friends is another one- hasn’t aged super well but for it’s time it’s very funny)
I've been using subtitles for a decade and a half. I've learned to glance at the words, while not missing anything that happening in the movie/show. The human brain is wired catch key words, and put together the sentence without actually reading all of it
@@jorejaha Is that a thing? Taking it personally? Not everyone has the same taste. For example, I have never seen any of the three. It may be age thing as it wasn't really my generation, or not being American (not even South American) as all these seem like the USA setting is prominent in there. And after checking some posters and snippets of videos trying to jumpstart any memory that simply wasn't there to begin with, I don't plan on watching them.
@@pavook no but it's funny how offended people get when you say "omg you haven't seen that?" Look through the comments, people crying "must be a chick flick, must not have been good". Lmao no, you just haven't seen it, no need to get your panties in a knot. (Not you, but the people in the comments getting mad at people simply explaining the movie)
You are distressed because someone doesn’t share your taste in movies? Not to mention they are people who simply don’t watch a lot of them or they don’t care about movies that much. It’s not that deep 🤷♀️
@@friendlyneigborhoodbean it's more that those movies are so engrossed in 80s culture. For as pop culture as Rhett and Link are that makes it surprising
i have adhd with auditory processing disorder and subtitles are a lifesaver! i have subtitles on for gmm right now lol. i wish i could have subtitles on in real life
I think it’s bc there’s no underlying music playing. I watched something they were in on another channel and it was harder to understand bc there was music. I like music in movies obviously but it’s hard to understand what’s going on sometimes
I’m sure they just do it for tax proposes but I love when Rhett manually stops it on gifticality lol. Very kind and I’m sure the organization appreciates it.
It's okay Link. I'm famous for not seeing movies that "everyone" else has seen. I think I'm still pretty awesome and you, Link, are super awesome! We're good. 👍
I went to a partially deaf college and having captioned events changed my life. Subtitles are ALWAYS on and despite having perfect hearing I struggle at events without words on the screen.
My sister is deaf, so we watched EVERYTHING with subtitles. I have continued to watch everything this way, including TH-cam videos (unless they're auto-generated). Which means that when I watch something in another language, I have an easier time with it. 🤷🏼♂️
Subtitles are ONLY needed and are only useful when it's a foreign language..other then that, it blatantly covers the screen and is a complete distraction that keeps people from actually watching the show or movie.
@@brucebonner3491 only needed and useful when it’s another language? what about people who are currently trying to learn another language and still need some guidance? deaf people? hard of hearing people? neurodivergent people? there are many other reasons why subtitles could be helpful and it’s really not that hard to multitask. perhaps you’re just a slow reader
I always watch everything with subtitles including youtube and any video i watch honestly. Ive always hated subtitles but ive grown attached to them recently and ive been watching movies i grew up loving and realizing i either never fully understood what they where saying and/or understanding the plot of movies better! subtitles all the way!
In my 20s, not hard of hearing in the slightest, but ever since childhood (I'm talking elementary school years) any time there was an option to have on subtitles I would take it. It was seriously a revelation to my fetus self when we finally got a DVD player to replace our old VCR and I saw you could actually go in and turn them on in the settings. I just like having them there, I don't always need them, but something about having the words there visually has always been oddly comforting to me, like it just completes the experience of watching stuff.
I bet it was "how are there enough gay dudes to make that many gay bars profitable, but not enough lesbians to make lesbian bars profitable, do they just have to go to the gay bars instead in a lesbian bar isn't local?"
I didn’t get into subtitles until I wanna say like 17 or maybe 18 so I’ve been using them anytime I watch tv, consistently, for two to three years now and it’s great. especially if you’re watching a movie or show that’s hard to follow along with what’s going on, those subtitles are amazing. they help get you through it.
Link needs to be made to watch all the classic movies he says he hasn’t seen, and Rhett should quiz him on details about them. That would be a great GMM series.
Just watched this...regarding subtitles....watch the film without first, then watch with subtitles. So you start with a good portion of the film in your head. ❤
I am 26 and have preferred subtitles for YEARS. Dude the dialogue will be whispers and then the music will be deafening. I swear I just mishear every tenth word without subtitles, so I swear by them
I dunno if my ADHD is the thing that drives this but I have always had a love of subtitles. And I just glance at em when needed. 🤷 It's comforting. Shows me how certain things are spelled and if I mishear I just glance down.
i am also in the "never seen it" club, link. and at this point its just funny to watch people react so i refuse to watch stuff. never seen star wars, that's the big one that people gasp at.
Link is seriously so correct about the mixing...I only watch things with subtitles especially nowadays because of the way things are mixed for the theater and the actors mumbling more often than not .
i have a hard time hearing dialogue in certain movies (harry potter, halloween, i’m looking at you) so having subtitles on is really helpful for me (i’m 20 by the way, so not an old people thing)
I use subtles on shows and movies because i have a hard time focusing with adhd. So subtitles give me two things to do and i can focus amd understand whats happening more.
The reason why you have to watch modern movies with subtitles isn't because of hearing loss, its a modern tecnology problem. Tv speakers are at the back and the dialogue is kept intentionally quiet to make the scale of action in the film make a bigger impact.
I love the subtitles chat lol. I need subtitles to fully comprehend what is going on, especially when watching complex movies. They also help me stay focused on the storyline. My mind wanders when there’s no subtitles.
As someone who started watching GMM 13 years ago. It’s sad to see how much they’ve changed. I still watch the old seasons from time to time but clicked on this video to see something more recent. I miss the down to earth North Carolina Rhett and Link
I've been watching movies with subtitles since I was like 13 because my mom always talked over movies. Now, at 30, I can't watch something without them.
Im 14 and I use subtitles all the time, I have been since I was 12! For me, it’s the fact that without them sometimes character speech goes right over my head and I can miss the whole scene-subtitles kind of just help me focus I guess
same. I'm 15 (almost 16) and I have to put on subtitles because I'm on like the brink between hard of hearing and hearing. Also sometimes I have to repay the first five minutes of a movie because I realize that I've missed all of what they were saying
I use subtitles and I'm only 24 and it helps cause I have adhd, and I'm nerodivergent. My favorite subtitles is whenever Vecna from stranger things is on, when he doesn't talk, it says *wet squelching* 😆
Movies are actually mixed so that they're better suited to the speakers in theaters and not the speakers that you're using at home which is why you might need subtitles. There's a Vox video on it which explains it pretty well
the disgruntled groans when link goes “what is heathers” made me laugh so hard
I've heard of it, but i've never seen it. Must be a chick flick
I've never heard of it either. 🤷🏻♀️

i am also in the "never seen it" club, link. and at this point its just funny to watch people react so i refuse to watch stuff. never seen star wars, that's the big one that people gasp at.
same with star wars.
Link is seriously so correct about the mixing...I only watch things with subtitles especially nowadays because of the way things are mixed for the theater and the actors mumbling more often than not .
Baby Driver is an incredible movie!! The first driving scene is so awesome! The music is great! And the story is beautiful.
i have a hard time hearing dialogue in certain movies (harry potter, halloween, i’m looking at you) so having subtitles on is really helpful for me (i’m 20 by the way, so not an old people thing)
I use subtles on shows and movies because i have a hard time focusing with adhd. So subtitles give me two things to do and i can focus amd understand whats happening more.
As someone with Auditory Processing Disorder, subtitles are incredibly important for watching any media.
Yes, I am the same. I love having them turned on for everything.
Same
The reason why you have to watch modern movies with subtitles isn't because of hearing loss, its a modern tecnology problem. Tv speakers are at the back and the dialogue is kept intentionally quiet to make the scale of action in the film make a bigger impact.
I love the subtitles chat lol. I need subtitles to fully comprehend what is going on, especially when watching complex movies. They also help me stay focused on the storyline. My mind wanders when there’s no subtitles.
Yep, Im pro subtitles b/c I want to know exactly what was said
Yessss
As someone who started watching GMM 13 years ago. It’s sad to see how much they’ve changed. I still watch the old seasons from time to time but clicked on this video to see something more recent. I miss the down to earth North Carolina Rhett and Link
Don't worry Link. I've never heard of Heather's either. Haven't seen of those movies either
Heathers*
I've been watching movies with subtitles since I was like 13 because my mom always talked over movies. Now, at 30, I can't watch something without them.
Im 14 and I use subtitles all the time, I have been since I was 12! For me, it’s the fact that without them sometimes character speech goes right over my head and I can miss the whole scene-subtitles kind of just help me focus I guess
same. I'm 15 (almost 16) and I have to put on subtitles because I'm on like the brink between hard of hearing and hearing. Also sometimes I have to repay the first five minutes of a movie because I realize that I've missed all of what they were saying
I just started watching stuff with subtitles on. Lol 😂 I was getting sick of not hearing what people say. I'm happy I'm not alone 😊
Baby Driver is a perfect film!! Someone make Link watch it. It is essentially a heist film to music. Perfection.
I agree with Link, I don't have time to be going back and watching old movies.
I use subtitles and I'm only 24 and it helps cause I have adhd, and I'm nerodivergent. My favorite subtitles is whenever Vecna from stranger things is on, when he doesn't talk, it says *wet squelching* 😆
Movies are actually mixed so that they're better suited to the speakers in theaters and not the speakers that you're using at home which is why you might need subtitles. There's a Vox video on it which explains it pretty well
"She frequented my dreams." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
