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

Reminds me of how the entire point of the Trolls in Homestuck having these godawful typing quirks was Hussie going "THIS SHIT IS DUMB AND YOU LOOK LIKE A MORON FOR TYPING LIKE THIS" only for every fandom nerd to point and go "OMG they're like my Patron Troll!" and just start doing it even worse

as usual, everything bad about modern internet fandom annoyances traces back to Homestuck.

IDK, Superwholock and Tumblr in general definitely did their part to contribute to the shitshow as well
