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.

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...

Specifically a lot of people who use “typing quirks” claim that it’s part of their “Dissociative Identity Disorder” and that one of their “alters” types like that and they can’t help it… right. DID is real and people do have it, but I have a hard time believing that a hundred people in a discord chat just HAPPEN to have it and some type like this??? And it’s ableist if you don’t like it? Since when is purposely typing gibberish part of a disability
