I think the website is excellent, and it’s a joy every time I see Xe’s posts here or anywhere. If you don’t like the way it’s presented, but you do sincerely want more information on the topic it presents, there is a vast (world wide!) web full of information. Surely you’ll have better luck finding it if you look for it rather, than spending that time trashing something that isn’t your cup of tea.
I think (hope) this is for the other poster and others of a similar mind, but in case I flubbed saying so: I think your site and its furry content is rad, and do not personally want to see anything different.
I assume you've never been to East Asia in general or Japan in particular. Furries are regular business there. Heck, in Korea, at a police station, they characterized the police man/woman as rabbits.
We don't know where the author is from. However, the website loaded pretty fast, didn't have the 4524 trackers, a Signup/Enroll/Whatever Popup, or prioritize 70% of the page for content other than the blog post.
I'll take the furries over the regular shit one's browse everyday.
I had a hard time reading this just cause of the longwindedness, not cause of the images. But it didn't assault me with popups and GDPR crap, or make my laptop sound like an airplane taking off.
Not block all images, just on the site. It takes a few seconds.
I think it's valid advice in this case, because they seem to be quite upset specifically at the furries, and not at the conversational structure of the post.
I invited them to view content less triggering to them. I’d link some directly but I’m on mobile so that’s a lot of bother for someone who probably isn’t looking in good faith, and well… their search engine is either the same as mine or functionally equivalent.
I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you mean this in good faith, even though I don’t think you do. What is the damage, and how doesn’t the site owner explaining how to consume their site without furries address it?
The damage might be permanent and irreversible psychological and emotional scaring. The trigger warning needs to come before the objectionable content is seen of course.
A trigger warning is a statement made prior to sharing potentially disturbing content. That content might include graphic references to topics such as sexual abuse, self-harm, furies, violence, eating disorders, and so on, and can take the form of an image, video clip, audio clip, or piece of text.
In an academic context, the instructor delivers these messages in order to allow students to prepare emotionally for the content or to decide to forgo interacting with the content.
I think it isn’t necessary to give them the benefit of the doubt, they’ve brought up the language of triggering despite the original post just being sort of annoyed. In fact the original post explicitly says they don’t care about “furry shit” as they put it.
How does one discern "sort of annoying" and "triggering"? Sounds like they are coping with severe trauma to me personally. It isn't cool to minimize others peoples pain like this.
It's much too late for that, friend. We're everywhere --- in your libraries, your coffee shops, your orange sites. Save yourself lest you join our number. :p
