Please, please use a spoiler tag or cw for close-up pictures of snakes. A lot of people suffer from ophidiophobia and this is a big jump scare. Thank you for understanding!
LillyPipI appreciate what you’re saying, and did not downvote you. I think you may be underestimating how many phobias exist in the world, though. It may benefit you to have an app that filters images on your device. I’m pretty sure that exists. Everyone trying to add spoiler tags or whatever to every image that might trigger a common phobia would hide more images than you might think.
how many phobias exist in the world, though
The image covers covers every inch, which is not insignificant compared to the great majority of phobias. If it were part of the image it’d be alright but it’s not. It’s also a very common phobia and one of the very few that can be depicted in its entirety at once as a whole texture. Why does the argument have to revolve around an all or nothing? Somehow they’re popular in print and all types of media. I don’t understand how it’s asking for too much when we have active blurring of sexual violence. The sympathy runs thin after that.
I can look for alternatives. Are there any Android clients that collapse the post from the top? That’d help a whole lot.
Why is it all-or-nothing? If it was a partial image I’d understand but the image blatantly spans the entire screen on both mobile and web. this is far from every other common phobia and quite a common at that.
Good lord, go be defective somewhere else.
Coming from a Texan, no less.
It’s an all or nothing unless you want to be the ruler who decides whose phobia is common or sever enough to justify a content warning.
Sorry, Jane Doe, but your xanthophobia just isn’t common enough to warrant a content warning.
I don’t mean to demean you, but saying that your particular phobia is bad enough to warrant a cw, but then saying that someone else’s isn’t, comes off as quite a poor take.
Do you see any Janes claiming xanthophobia? What’s the percentage of xantophobes in the world? Because you have one ophidiophobe here already speaking out with a phobia sitting at 10% prevalence.
So I ask again, why does it have to be all or nothing? You say you don’t mean to demean and yet that’s all I’m hearing.
Irrational fears do not deserve respect.
