( No Title )
Honestly you people need to start thinking about fanfiction like a restaurant.
You do not have to order the salmon if you don’t like salmon.
If I order the salmon, I am not forcing you to eat the salmon. Nor are you obligated to order it just because I am.
If we are going with the intention of sharing food, that’s okay! I happen to like steak too. I don’t need to order the salmon. I’m capable of going to the restaurant and not ordering the salmon. We can order the steak.
There is a whole menu of things you can have. The salmon is just an option. We can even find a restaurant that doesn’t serve salmon at all.
Yes, I know some people are allergic to salmon. But I’m not going up to them and force-feeding it to them. The only way my salmon can hurt them is if they come to our table and take the salmon.
The only way you’ll expose yourself to my salmon and the unpleasantness of eating it is if I tell you my dish has salmon in it and you insist on having a bite anyway.
You’re midway through your meal and realize it has salmon in it? Okay. Lets send it back and order something else. Maybe you didn’t see it in the ingredients list. Or maybe the chef didn’t put it down.
Its really that simple.
I know someone so allergic to fish it can cause her trouble to be near it when it’s cooking. It’s very sucky for her.
And yes, if you are deathly allergic to salmon, so allergic you can’t be in the same building with it, that will make some restaurants impossible for you to visit. But that does not mean a restaurant has to stop serving salmon for your sake. Many people enjoy salmon. Many consider it healthy and important to include in their diet.
There are also people who consider salmon sacred. Who will not support a place that serves salmon on principle. They are offended that you eat it. And that’s okay too. You can be offended, but you can’t rip the salmon out of their mouths.
I get that it sucks that not all restaurants can cater to your needs, especially when you know you love their steak. But if you’re gonna go into anaphylaxis by walking inside, or its a moral affront to you that they serve salmon, it’s your responsibility not to go.
You can order the steak for delivery, or have a friend pick it up. You can get a very similar steak at a restaurant that does not sell salmon. If salmon is that critical, you need to check everything in advance. You need to talk to the chef about specifics or have someone you trust test taste for you. You need to find a place that’s safe for you to eat at. Because your situation does suck, and it does keep you from some places, but the chef doesn’t have to change the menu and the kitchen because all your friends go there all the time. It’s your problem. The restaurant doesn’t belong to you, and lots of people like salmon.
Also. If I tag something as “Creator Chose Not To Use Warnings” that means anything goes. There might be salmon in it, there might not be, but I have warned you about the possibility of allergens being present. Consume at your own risk
