statements like “how can you interact with someone that posts things you’re uncomfortable with” baffle me. i just…block tags. cradle ships are my squick, but i’ll send selfshippers with cradle ships asks for those f/os because the characters arent real but the joy sparked is. baffling…i can’t imagine such a hollow life wherein you can’t exist with tools that exist, for free, to hide what you dont like. antis need HELP
Some people try to force the world around them to adapt to what they want, rather than adapting themselves to the world as it exists.
I’m the same way as you, anon. There are plenty of mutuals we have that are into things we don’t like, but we can still interact.
also uhh sometimes you will have friends who like things that make you uncomfortable. that’s how normal friendships often happen. it’s ridiculous to expect a friendship to mean “someone who always coddles me when i encounter anything uncomfortable.” and is rarely a sign of a healthy two sided friendship anyways. sometimes in order to keep friends you have to suck it up when things like this happen.
and actually learn to make an effort to meet the friend halfway. instead of always expecting them to sacrifice for you. this is another major issue i have with antis always assuming malicious abuse when someone makes them uncomfortable. the world isn’t nearly that simplistic. just putting my own two cents out there.
The ability to be flexible and meet people halfway is very important.
