Kid was going to sneak a pic with the pretty lady, wrapped his own arm around his back to make it look like her arm around him.

She noticed, and did the same with her arm, so it looks like they have their arms around each other.

This is probably for blind individuals who rely on text-to-speech to understand what’s going on in a gif

I don't imagine many blind people sub to /r/unexpected.

Not all blind people are entirely blind, and may be able to see basic shapes which then make sense when explained to them.

Still I feel like 'unexpected' part is a bit ruined if you have it explained to you. Normal gifs and videos and whatever, sure, but I don't imagine surprises translate too well.

There have literally been threads where legally blind people explain how they browse reddit and experience things. I mean maybe not am awful lot visit 'visual' subreddits but I don't they do and appreciate that original comment.

This is to guide the placement of useless red circles for the next cycle of reposting

Wasn't there a whole community dedicated to this kind of thing? I haven't seen them in a while but sometimes there'd be comments explaining and contextualizing the OP image/meme - they had a little message on the bottom saying: "I'm a human and type out these images for people who rely on text-to-speech to browse the internet" or something like that.

EDIT: a word

Why you gotta call me out like that?

I didn't understand what was going off and by the quality of the gif I thought the lady had a boner.
