 * "Most wikia users weren't blind as an elderly person."

Not all elderly people are blind. And not all blind people are elderly. Also, if you're blind none of this matters. You're perhaps looking for "hard of sight".


 * "This font increase was unnecessary"

It was not, and visibility has nothing to do with it. With fluid layout, the site looked different on different widths, but few editors/admins took that into account. They designed the wiki for the screen they had. If they had XL, it looked cramped on smaller screens. If they had a smaller screen, it looked stretched on XL. That's because it's impossible to design with all widths in mind. This new layout gives all screens a (roughly) similar width, causing no (or limited) crampedness or stretchedness. If you're seeing anything cramped together now, people with smaller screens had to put up with that before.


 * "ultimately looks terrible, on every wiki I've been on."

I've been to a good couple, and I see nothing breaking.
