Do You Think Dandelions Are Weeds?

Do you think dandelions are weeds?

this is about david tennant telling a transphobic politician to “shut up” btw:

I am actually begging some people to just let some spaces exist untouched by real-world issues and horrors.

Like I've lost count of the amount of times peaceful game or fandom servers have been ruined by people stampeding in with political rants, bitching about world issues, demanding internal activism, demanding vent channels so they can whine about their shitty parents, ect.

Like. Respectfully. Not every single space has to be inclusive of and welcoming of outside topics. The real world sucks. We don't needed to be reminded of that absolutely everywhere.

What people don't get about ARFID (medically restrictive picky eating if you're ableist) is how delicious things can look or smell and how you can crave something but know that it has some element that hits a sensory issue so intense that you would gag, choke, or vomit if you tried to eat it despite every part of you lusting for that thing

And we can make our own substitutions within those realms but people get real mean the moment you do food "wrong" in front of them. Publicly humiliating and starving children over this then mocking adults who never had their autism Cured and also now have complex PTSD surrounding food. Haha adult who can't eat a food group such a child
