One involves poking a hole in someone's skin, which a lot of people get the heebie-jeebies about. NSFW should be used on things people find visually disturbing.
Lots of public advertisements depict people getting vaccines.
Oh no, it’s a needle!
People find spiders disturbing, do we need to censor those? What about people with dog trauma? You are extremely ignorant if you don’t think people can’t be traumatized by anything. Needles aren’t scary.
That's a very privileged thing for you to say, I think. It's also a bit bizarre how much you've dug your heels in over this.
No it’s real life, people are scared by spiders. We can’t just stop posting them because a few people get the heebie jeebies.
Public advertisements show it, on the TV even!
You want accommodations for your fears, but scoff at others. You’re just a hypocrite, like I already explained.
You're a strange fellow.
I’m just wondering why you seem to have a specific issue with needles, but don’t seem to have an issue with pushing the same trauma if someone has a spider or other phobia?
I said everyone has a line, yours is needles, others is spiders. Do you want them to accommodate spiders and other phobias and traumas too?
I've explicitly said I don't have a phobia of needles, my point was any injury should be flagged NSFW.
You said you find needles gross, what would you call that other than a phobia…?
And since when are needles an injury? Needles are first aid, and first aid is nsfw…? That’s the strangest take I’ve seen in this post yet, wow.
Are you actually suggesting everything I find gross is a phobia? I also find vomit and dog slobber gross, are those also phobias?
And vaccines are first aid?
What?
So you would want dog slobber and vomit censored too? I asked a question, don’t dodge it. Those are even more natural bodily functions. Why are you so ashamed of the human body and its functions?
Of course vaccines/injections are first aid, a tetanus shot is one of the first things they give you if you get a laceration or stab from something potentially infectious. What about local freezing? Epi-pen…?!
