Do you like subtitles in film/games/tv?

No, I hate reading. And I also hate film, and all other forms of art except beer can airplanes

It's basically how I learned English. Especially if the accent is not American, I might really need the subtitles.

I use subtitles quite a lot. I tend to watch TV after midnight and I don’t want to disturb people.

On screen: Philipp Marlowe(Humphrey Bogart). Soundtrack(Off screen person asking): Are you drunk? Subtitle: Are you drunk? Marlowe(Soundtrack): One Martini. Subtitle: Only a single drink. Yes, I like subtitles.

I don't go out of my way to enable them (unless the audio is in a different language), but when they're there I tend to find myself reading along at the same time as listening, it makes it easier to process for some reason, but sometimes I think I shouldn't because it's a crutch.

I prefer subtitles over dubbing for foreign films. Unless it's anime.

I don't like or dislike them, they serve their purpose just fine...I do prefer them over dubs though, that shit is even more distracting than text on the screen
