I have a question TW: ranting

wyoming 4/6/2024 03:47 pm 1470

Ok so I just NEED to know (bc it's bothered me for a while)

Why are ppl nowadays afraid of capital letters like ??

Why do we need to add content warnings to things nowadays with warnings like "CW: all caps" ?? Don't get me wrong, it's fine to put content/trigger warnings for topics that can actually be triggering, like (slight tw) injury, gore, emetophobia, suicide, etc. but why LETTERS ??? I've asked people abt it b4 and they always said something like "because it's triggering to some ppl" but like WHY THO. How do you read books if you cant stand a full word that's written in caps? I'm sorry if this came off as insensitive and I have a MUCH more vent-y and detailed version of why I dont think this is really valid, which I deleted but could private message to you if you want to read it so I can have a more detailed answer. the most i've gotten of a reason of why it's "triggering" is "it makes me think you're mad at me." Which is... like... All I'm gonna say is that I am a random stranger, so why does it really matter if I sound mad? You can't just assume. You could ask me if I'm mad. If you don't like me typing in all caps, LITERALLY JUST BLOCK ME. Typing quirks are so accepted and many people really like them, and I don't see people complaining about THEM all that much, even I don't like them personally. You don't see "W2RN1N9: TYP1N9 QU!RKZZ >_<" b4 you read a post lmao. What if typing in all caps a lot is just MY typing quirk ? It's just letters my guy...


I really don't get it. I need answer other than "it makes me think you're mad at me".

@holdmymilkbud: LITERALLY- I used to have a Therian Guide acc (I'm so glad I'm not on there anymore there was actual zoophiles there shock) and one of the rules on there for the shoutbox was no typing in all caps bc some people "find it triggering". Well, there was this new person on TG that wasn't aware of that rule and was typing in all caps in the shoutbox (GOD FUCKING FORBID !!!! crying) and a moderator told them that they werent allowed to cus it's triggering. The person didn't listen and was threatened to be banned and maybe was temporarily banned but I can't remember. What was this person writing in the chat that was apparently so threatening? SONG LYRICS. THEY WERE LITERALLY JUST WRITING SONG LYRICS AND THEY GOT BANNED CUS THEY DIDN'T WANT TO LISTEN TO A STUPID RULE THAT DID NOTHING ANYWAY !!!!


I asked why we weren't allowed to type in caps and the moderator and other members told me it was triggering and I asked why and this person who actually afraid of EVERYTHING was like "yea it makes me think you're mad at me crying((( :<" BUT HOW THE FUCK DOES SONG LYRICS EVEN APPLY TO YOU ??? JUST QUIT MAKING SHIT UP - shock


We were expected to put "trigger warning: caps" on posts or in the shoutbox we'd have to put (caps) b4 something that was meant to have caps but we couldn't actually do it
