Gonna have a heck of a time overcoming the Pavlovian rage response to seeing a fully exposed human face

I understand why people dislike leather and animal products. But leather is such a good resource? Like… My mom bought a sturdy leather coat in 1989. I’m in my 20’s and I now wear that coat. That’s a 30 year old coat? 30 years, two generations, one coat. Versus, like… A plastic one, that rips and gets thrown out, or releases bits into the ecosystem every time it’s washed, takes a billion years to decompose, lasts maybe a decade if you’re super duper careful, and uses oil products in it’s construction. Like, yeah leather is expensive and comes from a living animal, and I’m not saying that you should go out and buy fifty fur and leather products for the he’ll of it, but like… Maybe the compromise is worth it? One animal product, valued and respected and worn down for generations, versus like… Six plastic products that will never ever go away?

idk, I could be wrong.

When I worked at a library I was looking for a spider man book when the phone rang. I introduced myself to the caller as the amazing spider man.

I worked with toddlers and pre schoolers for three years. Sometimes I accidentally slip and tell a friend to say bye to an inanimate object (“say bye bus!”) & occasionally they unthinkingly just do it.

if you replace random letters in a word with numbers or symbols, this does not ‘protect people from being triggered’

if someone is triggered by the word ‘rape’, seeing ‘r@p3′ is not going to somehow evade their trauma responses and make them completely fine with the concept. they still know what fucking word that is.

you have done literally nothing except make your text annoying to look at, REALLY annoying to hear from a screenreader/text-to-speech program, and made it difficult-to-impossible for people who genuinely are For Real Triggered just by seeing certain words or concepts under discussion, no matter how vague, that they have to blacklist and avoid it, because now they have to try to guess every fucking homestuck 1337$P3@K ass alternate spelling you can come up with

please stop doing this. it is so stupid. think about it for three seconds and realize that seeing a word without the vowels in it is not going to prevent someone from comprehending the meaning of the word if the word itself is a trigger, and instead just use the fucking word so they can blacklist it. thank you. this has been a psa.
