Oh, that’s new. The context isn’t in the image, people without visual impairments have to infer it as well, is there a reason why I should include it in an image description?
I had to open the comments and read the first one before I got it. I don’t immediately think of musk or Roman numerals when I read a meme. Though maybe I should be doing that.

Good thing you didn’t include it. I did.
Yes, but why? I’m trying to understand, why would people with visual impairments need the context made explicit? How does this improve accessibility?
It improves accessibly for people who didn’t know the context, visually impaired or otherwise.
It’s for the context impaired.
