My too woke take: your asking me to put a trigger warning on everything effects me and my disability. Iām in film school and photo sensitive. Professors are less likely to take me seriously when I say, āhey, I cannot be around flashing lights,ā when they are so used to this bs. I genuinely had someone ask for a trigger warning on any yelling (like at all, not fighting, just yelling) followed by me asking for my accommodation. Accommodation was not taken seriously. Fuck yaāll. Your whiny bs makes
Iām sympathetic. But not towards those who put on performances. Thereās no way that many people in 2020 needed trigger warnings lol. Thereās a reason why we donāt see these videos now. Many were clearly doing it for attention & Iām starting to think you were one of them. If you feel offended or called out, scroll.
As someone that doesnāt expect trigger warningsā¦Itās a bit tough though. I mean - how can we tell whoās putting on performances and who doesnāt look sincere enough for your standards though? If Iām making sense. āPutting on performancesā is a little vague. Iāve gotta say, do what you want, but this likely wouldāve fit right in a conservative boomer Facebook meme page. šš¤
My life harder, in regards to my disability in a field I am already fighting to be in, because yāall are asking for trigger warnings for yelling, hats, and rocks (true story). Get tf over yourself. You are not the only one in existence and not everything needs to be about you. You are NOT the one. You are not the main character, thank you. I will be fighting people in these comment section. Good night.
OP is poking at the people with this whole ābean soupā thing where they think they are the main character. Not seen as much as it used to be, but some people are v much still like this. Trigger warnings for highly sensitive material, yes, of course. We are all in our big ages, no need to ask for trigger warnings on everything.
this is just the "gay people need to stop shoving it down our throats and making us NORMAL gay people look bad" argument. It's true that this happens, and it sucks, it's not the fault of "snowflakes." Whether you think trigger warnings for any given thing are necessary or not, epilepsy is one that should very obviously be taken seriously, and if you don't you're just an asshole. It's weird to blame people other than the ones choosing to not take you seriously.
Iām really sorry youāve gone through this. Iāve actually come across many whoāve needed warnings before loud noises, whether itās yelling or popping. Iām in no way hating on those with situations like these. This post was just meant to poke fun at those who were clearly putting on a show for the camera. It kinda reminds me of when there were ppl online faking Tourettes
I'm diagnosed autistic, and you wanna know how I feel about the "quirky" autism? I don't give a fuck! Because a lot of those people ARE actually autistic! And even if they aren't, making fun on them is only going to make them feel more vindicated! So it won't help! By complaining about and insulting these people, you're not helping anyone, except maybe yourself. Talk about selfish.
and the reason I bring this up is because it's a very similar and related situation. Not the same, I know, but surely you can see the point I'm making. I don't blame them for "making people take autism less seriously." I blame the people actually taking autism less seriously, because we shouldn't have to hold their hand to get them to respect us, or ANYONE, as humans beings.
Also I agree with the hats & rocks. Iām not saying these canāt be genuine fears or cause discomfort but for some ppl out there to be upset with others for posting content with everyday objects only THEY feel upset by & then expecting or even demanding a trigger warning is just wrong to me. Every video might as well be censored or have some sort of warning lol. So I agree with you. And again, Iām really sorry you went through that
Im muting this post now for my own sanity but I jus don't understand why it's so hard to get that making fun of people is wrong. Just don't be a bully. Like yeah maybe if they did evil things or were obviously being malicious on purpose. But being oversensitive is not a crime. Why are we making fun of them?? Maybe I'm being oversensitive myself but are you really going to tell me love and peace and kindness isn't the right answer this time? Just because you feel like it? Just because it's funny?
Soooo if you read my post bb, I am not saying it isnāt fucked up im not taken seriously, it is. Its also fucked up the romanticization of these accommodations. Itās weird. Itās not āus vs themā when the people this post is poking fun at are just as guilty, because THEY donāt take it seriously either. All of yall make it HARD. No one said that was the sole reason. In the context of the post, thatās what I shared.
Okay bb, 1) autism wasnāt part of the conversation, and as an autistic mthfkr myself, I canāt say I agree. There is a large issue with the romanticization of neurodivergence IRL, and these āquirksā do damage to the understanding and representation of the autistic community. Itās very similar to what OP mentioned with the faking Touretteās, and since weāre pulling cards as evidence, I have Touretteās too. These āquirkyā things do damage. The way Touretteās was treated set us back years.
2) Im complaining because I have a right to, and honestly, you have no goddamn right to tell me otherwise. My take is from my perspective with my disability and my experiences. Sorry you arenāt me, donāt have my perspective, my disability, and my experiences. You have no goddamn right to invalidate me when I make a statement on my experiences. Iāll hold you by the bush while I say this, I have 0 fucking clue what point youāre making. The point I made is how the PREFERENCES of people who
DONT NEED them in a space where itās ALREADY HARD to get accommodations, makes it HARDER for me, as a D I S A B E D P E R S O N to be 1) taken seriously and 2) advocate for myself when I have people putting salt on the concept with this idea of their ROMANTICIZATION (which this is) of bs like trigger warnings makes it harder for those who actually need it to achieve their goal.
3) No one is disrespecting you, and if my take offends you, maybe youāre the person who this take should target. What I sad, summed up, was āThis means that I get taken less seriouslyā, and somehow that became āI hate autistic people and I love to bully othersā. Nah bro, Iāve got a loud mouth on me. If this upsets you, YOU are the type of person who I AM talking about. No one mentioned autism, and donāt lay shade on me when I myself am quite literally autistic. People with this self-serving
No Youāre so sweet. It gets frustrating because Iām already struggling to be taken seriously, and in top of that I have people making a joke out of accommodations I need because theyād rather idealize āthe purity that comes with this shitā or have some āzestā something that isnāt for them, obviously, big BIG exceptions, but overall, Iām so swag š
Bro- no one invited you to this party. You chimed in the most out-of-touch, Covid IPad baby ass take on a comment about MY frustrations with people who compute if their way to pull this bs. The only person bullying someone is here. Even if someone did something fucked up, if theyāre disabled they need accommodation to live. Okay Miss Martyr, no one said being disabled was a crime, but bro, donāt climb up on the cross and nail yourself up expecting to be worshiped like the good Baby Jesus. Bro
