Hi If a sighted person can see the scenes that are sexually explicit or morally depriving then we have a right to hear the description of it. I agree on your point. Having said so, I also feel we must acknowledge that the people involved in describing the video are humans themselves, and they may not be so comfortable because of their personal values and their views on morality and chastity etc. I'm not trying to say that those who describe such scenes are immoral in any way since these things are personal and unique viewed differently by different people. Therefore while we have right to listen to the movies or videos completely uncensored, we must also recognise and respect the rights of people and our stress on equality should not result in forcing unwilling participents describe the things they do not want to. I feel equality should be instigated on the both the sides - from those people involved in production and those involved in hearing the descriptions. Therefore I propose the below that might serve as solutions: 1) Obtain the consent of the people involved in producing video descriptions. Ask them if they're ok to narrate any content they see on the screen without any hesitation. 2) Deploy a high-quality voice synthesiser where appropriate.

While making a audio we should have a professional approach. If a sighted person can see a kissing seen then y we can't? This is the matter of equality. I support that each & every seen should b converted in2 audio, so that a blind person should also b acquainted of all the beauty & bad of any movie. If kissing is bad then it should b banned on screen, y a blind person should b unaware of those.
