(Anonymous) 2021-09-08 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)For the record, no one's being made fun of for the act of wanting content warnings. They're being made fun of for thinking the world should cater to their triggers. Also, because they continued to attack something they clearly don't understand and don't care to understand.

(Anonymous) 2021-09-08 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)And this is the comment that I said SEEMED like it was making fun of people who need trigger warnings in general:
“If you can't handle surprise underage incest, the did not warn tag *is your warning.* You don't read those fics if it *might* be there. That's fandom for ya. It's always been a free space for writing your most fucked up ideas in. You can keep to fics with no content warnings. If that makes you feel limited or like a baby, too bad. Grow a thicker skin or proceed with the training wheels on.”
I agree with the comment, it’s just taking the piss at people who feel that their options are limited that I think makes it unnecessary. Because feeling limited is valid, but there’s nothing to do about it if you can’t read the fics, so it’s best to move on from that sadness. And “grow thicker skin” is something that people who argue in favor of content warnings get told repeatedly, usually by people who don’t have PTSD like a lot of the people in favor of the most basic content warnings.
However, I specifically didn’t say it was anything more than a reading, which can always be a misinterpretation. I don’t really believe the anon who made this comment meant that in a cruel way. The wording can be a bit harsh, and debatable to those inclined to disagree. But it’s preceded by statements that I completely agree with, so I’m willing to give their intentions the benefit of the doubt. And thus it’s not always correct to read such comments as uncharitably as possible.
Kind of like how you read everything I said as uncharitably as possible, ignoring most of what I said in order to make a cheap “lol triggered” jab. You even ignored all the times I agreed. You kind of came off as defensive for some reason, as if I was attacking anything at all. Did you want to tell me “you think some of the other responses were patronizing? I’ll show you patronizing!”? If that was your goal, good job at being condescending for no reason?
