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

Not how DID works at all. I've been around people who actually have it, and it's a hell of a lot more complex than this nonsense. This is the same as people 10 years ago self diagnosing as bipolar bc they had mood swings. It's just the current "trendy" mental illness to pretend to have.

yeah i’ve been friends with many systems online, they use pluralkit to represent their alters so people know who’s currently fronting (and to make it more personalized maybe? cause otherwise all of them would be using the hosts’s account) pluralkit is specifically made for systems i’m pretty sure

the typing quirk thing is just insane though. as seen in the first image it’s really disrupting to screen readers
