You could pay attention to what you're reading and stop reading posts that are clearly about things you don't want to know. Or are you one of those people who just *~reads too fast and can't help it.*~

"*~reads too fast and can't help it.~*"

Petty much?

[(Anonymous)]

Well then that's your own damn fault. Slow it down and stop blaming your super special reading skills because you don't want to make the effort to avoid things you don't want to see among the things you do want to see.

Someone is a slow reader.

Actually no, I just hate this excuse with the power of a nova.

As someone who is actually a very fast reader to the point that when I came into my boss' office I knew what we were going to talk about because one look at the computer screen and...

It's very hard to explain to someone who doesn't 'read' fast. It's not a question of 'reading', it's more a question of 'seeing'. I don't read a word letter for letter, I don't even read a sentence word for word. When I read it's like a motion picture in my head, it's like my eyes absorb the text and my brain translates it into pictures.

Anyway, imagine scrolling through your f-list (or dashboard or whatever) and coming across a picture of someone's vag, it's like that. Bam! Seen. Can't be unseen.

tldr It's not an excuse. Which is why I simply avoid certain places at certain times. Because I'm spoiled before I even know it...

I agree if you don't want to see pictures of folk, then there's not much you can do if it shows up despite whatever precautions, but finding author's views and reading them requires engagement and a failure to scroll that really is your own fault.

AYRT

Twitter's character limit is 140. Let me tell you, I can see/read that faster than I can scroll.

When you go looking for an author's views, you take the chance that their views differ from yours. That's a chance you take, I'm well aware of that.

I was simply trying to explain that for a fast reader like me, you can get spoiled in an instant. It's not an excuse. For me, it's a fact of life.

[(Anonymous)]

I think most people read that fast. Trust me, it's you.

It's less about reading them in the first place, for me, and more about the fact they clog up my dash.

If an author is pretty food about posting mostly fanfic and/or fandom stuff with personal posts either very minimal (or on a different blog), I follow them. If it's someone who posts a lot of stuff I'm not interested, I don't. Either I just bookmark their fic tags and visit every now and then to see if there is anything new, or if they don't use regular tags then I just don't bother trying to read their fic.

It's sad, but I have limited time, and if they can't use the basic effort to tag their fic somehow or otherwise make it possible to find their fic without having to go through several dozen pages of other crap, then I can't be bothered to put in the effort to find that fic. There are plenty of other good authors out there who have the decency to at least tag all their fics with something like "fic" or "fanfic", if not do a variety of other things that makes their fics accessible to casual readers, and not just followers who watch their every post and move.

I'm a damn fast reader. I pay close attention to my dash, and when I see something I don't like/don't want to know, I scroll like mad. BUT. I always catch a snippet of it in that second before it's gone. And when that snippet is a spoiler, or something you didn't need to know about a celebrity you admire, it matters.

Is this a thing now? Pretending speed readers don't exist? Hell, I didn't even work at this. It's just how I read.

Is this a thing now? Pretending speed readers don't exist?

Apparently. And I'm just as gobsmacked as you are. Next (some) people will say we don't read fast, we just have poor reaction skills 'because how can anybody read faster than they scroll'.

Hell, I didn't even work at this. It's just how I read.

Same here. I have to keep reminding myself that most people don't read that fast.
