I know this is going to sound mean but sometimes in life you can't get accommodations for everything, and in the case of capital letters, all I'm going to say is that my opinion is that you should just get over it. We all made fun of that girl years ago for having a mental breakdown on YT bc she SAW A MINION and most of us probably were thinking that she should just get over it CUS IT'S NOT THAT DEEP. We didn't see that video and start putting "TRIGGER WARNING: MINIONS" on Facebook mom memes lmfao. If you genuinely have PTSD that's triggered by all caps, that's not anyone else's problem and that's something you need to get over in therapy, because you just CAN'T be going around expecting accommodations for, imo, something that's pretty silly. And honestly, if you can't handle people typing in a specific way, you probably shouldn't be on the internet. Sorry. I think it's valid for finding caps hard to read but to have a panic attack or whatever just for SEEING THEM is actually insane. THEY CAN'T HURT YOU. Like how tf did you make it through school if you can handle seeing capital letters ?? How tf do you read books ???

I hate typing quirks because something about them just really annoys me. And yet, I see many people typing quirks and I don't see any content warnings for those ! But you know what ? In the long run, I DON'T REALLY GIVE A DAMN because typing quirks can't hurt me even if they trigger me in a specific way. A while back (years ago) I tried asking people to stop putting question marks after their questions bc something about it really bothered me about the way it sounded in my head when I read it. And boy were ppl not happy about me trying to control the way they type. And I realized that what I had done was stupid and that it didn't really even matter ! Because they were random people on the internet ! IT ^ IS ^ NOT ^ THAT ^ DEEP. IF ^ IT ^ GENUINELY ^ BOTHERS ^ YOU, YOU ^ NEED ^ THERAPY. In fact, I think everyone would benefit from a bit pf therapy...

@TeamFortress2: PREACHHHHH

: I know I'm just trying to understand what those people are thinking when they see uppercased letters.

honestly , i type in caps all the time and tend to do so when im happy and/or excited , and have also never understood the need for cws or tws for capital letters . and its not just me , others in our system use caps too , like we have an alter who just types in all caps . if someone were to interact with them , would they have to put " cw : caps " before doing so ???? thats just stupid sounding since thats how they type .

i also dont get how typing quirks are so accepted and caps arent !! since typing quirks can be difficult to read for screen readers and most dont offer translations of their typing quirks .

1) some people can find caps hard to read and would just like a small heads up (the reason I use content warnings instead of trigger warnings) (dyslexia, ADHD(at least in my experience sometimes), etc.) 2) sometimes people heavily associate all caps with yelling, and might have PTSD when it comes to yelling (parents arguing, scary teachers, etc.)

I personally type in all caps a lot, and I understand where you're coming from, but, like, you could at least be respectful about all this?? You're acting like you genuinely don't believe there are any people who are uncomfortable with all caps, which is kinda insensitive. You could at least try to see from these people's perspectives, but nope, apparently not, just gonna complain complain complain. I'm not triggered by or uncomfortable with all caps, but I still use a content warnings for those who are. It's just more respectful to think of how others are feeling and how your comments would affect them.

If you try and argue, I won't be responding. I do not have the mental capacity to argue right now, I'm already so done with people's shit. Arguing is a waste of both my time and yours, and I will not participate in it from now on.
