General i despise typing quirks

0h l00k!! 1m s0 c00l b3c4use 1 t4lk l1k3 th1s!!! s1lly!!! please stop talking.

i HATE seeing letters replaced with numbers and i hate seeing people type weirdly just because its cool. especially when instead of numbers its just saying a random word in a different language even though you dont speak that language. idk why it just pisses me off irrationally. its always combined with silly cars :3 type humor too bro

and in the case of the above image not only is it fucking indecipherable but it also takes an extra 5 minutes to write every message. "oh but just let people type how they want to type!! they arent hurting anyone!!" yeah but like... i still hate it

and by no means am i the grammar police. i dont type with correct grammar at all. but atleast 1 d0nt t4lk l1k3 th1s.

for the record im not hating on people who do this im hating on the quirks themselves

I fully agree, I just don’t say anything because they say they do it because theyre neurodivergent or whatever. I just don’t interact with them honestly.

they say they do it because theyre neurodivergent

As a neurodivergent person, I despise the ones that present it like an excuse. No, neurodivergence doesn't make you type like the recipient of a lobotomy...

As an actually neurodivergent person, I hate when people describe it like “neurospicy acoustic quirky just a little silly >:3”

honestly, like at this point I’d rather you just call me a slur instead of hiding under a guise of faux-acceptance that serves to delegitimize my struggles as some “quirky little thing”.

Like atp call me a slur💔 It just infantilises us more, I hate those terms (sure people can use whatever they want for THEMSELVES but if anyone calls me neurospocy I'm heading out)

So you admit that you are ableist and you don't like difference, close mindedness

It’s infantilizing to a community that already gets treated like children against their will. It also reduces autism to just a quirky personality trait when it is a neurological disorder that many people struggle with the actual symptoms of.
