maths enjoyers and bug enjoyers and horror movie enjoyers and so forth all need to come together and unite against the common enemy of people telling you how much they hate something as soon as you mention you like it
literally can’t believe i have to say this but i actually don’t? want to hear about how much you hate maths in the tags? people are missing the point of the post it isn’t about which of these things you like and don’t like and which should be added or removed it’s about having the basic decency to not constantly tell people you hate their interests when nobody asked. which you’re failing to do right now.

EVERY FUCKING TIME.
IT’S SO REAL
I have literally had MORE PEOPLE THAN I CAN COUNT ON MY HANDS tell me what kind of horrible things they would do to my pet tailless whip scorpion if she “got out while I’m visiting”
Ranging from stepping on her, throwing her into a wall, crushing her, beating her with a broom, using a lighter to burn her(???) or some weirdo describing in detail how he would stomp on her until she doesn’t look like anything anymore.
I once tried telling one of them that if she did that, I would do the same thing to her dog and then suddenly everyone was looking weird at me because it’s ok to describe in vivid detail how you want to harm my pet, but if I say a playful “then I’ll do it back to your dog” suddenly you’re the weirdo
Not to mention the many times I have been mocked, or laughed at, or not believed when I was sad over one of my invertebrate pets died. I have a very vivid memory of 14-year old me going to a birthday part ON THE DAY THAT MY STICKBUG HAD DIED and being like obviously upset and teary eyed the entire party, and then when I was asked by a family member what happened and I told her, again very teary eyed and sobbing, that my stickbug had died just this morning, and I got an over exaggerated “awwwwwww” followed by a chuckle by multiple people on the table. It was apparently funny that I was sad over having lost such a “simple” pet.
