Deaf Man Sues Pornhub Over Lack Of Closed Captioning

Image Source: Pixland via Getty Images A deaf man doesn’t like the way Pornhub is fucking him… out of closed captioning. He filed a class-action lawsuit alleging the porn site is in violation of federal law under the Americans with Disabilities Act because the deaf and hearing-impaired can’t understand the audio portion of the skin flicks. As part of MindGeek, Pornhub makes up one of several adult websites in the company’s network, along with YouPorn and RedTube, which also are named in the lawsuit.

In the lawsuit, the man alleges he could not enjoy closed captioning on a variety of videos he tried to watch on the three sites, including “Hot Step Aunt Babysits Disobedient Nephew – Sofi Ryan – Family Therapy,” “Sexy Cop Gets Witness To Talk,” “A – – – Lesbian Action and Dirty Talk” and “18 YO Blonde Stripper Samantha DP In Homemade Gangbang Porn.” The lawsuit says, “The websites are ‘places of public accommodation’ which deny equal access to their video content which is available to hearing individuals and violates the ADA.” To make matters worse, the man pays for a premium subscription on Pornhub, which hosts millions of adult videos.

Pornhub Launches Closed Captioning For the Hearing Impaired

The most visited porn website announced the launch of its closed captioning category to make X-rated videos more accessible to viewers with hearing loss. In its inaugural closed-captioned selection, Pornhub will offer more than 1,000 videos from its straight, gay, bi, transsexual, and “popular with women” categories, according to Daily Mail. “Clips included in the category will display ‘descriptive and interpretive’ text in order to improve the experience of viewers who are not able to hear the video’s original audio.”

Pornhub says that clips in the closed captioning category will come with audio descriptions of the site’s top performing videos. Captions will allow audiences to identify which porn star is talking, and even the emotional changes in their voices and the sex noises they make in different scenes. “Here at Pornhub, it’s important that we continue to service all of our users’ needs and make content accessible to every individual,” Pornhub said. “By integrating our new Closed Captioning category, we are now able to render some of our most popular adult content more enjoyable for our users who are hearing impaired.”
