  I appreciate what you’re saying, and did not downvote you. I think you may be underestimating how many phobias exist in the world, though. It may benefit you to have an app that filters images on your device. I’m pretty sure that exists. Everyone trying to add spoiler tags or whatever to every image that might trigger a common phobia would hide more images than you might think.

    Why is it all-or-nothing? If it was a partial image I’d understand but the image blatantly spans the entire screen on both mobile and web. this is far from every other common phobia and quite a common at that.

      It’s an all or nothing unless you want to be the ruler who decides whose phobia is common or sever enough to justify a content warning.

      Sorry, Jane Doe, but your xanthophobia just isn’t common enough to warrant a content warning.

      I don’t mean to demean you, but saying that your particular phobia is bad enough to warrant a cw, but then saying that someone else’s isn’t, comes off as quite a poor take.

        Do you see any Janes claiming xanthophobia? What’s the percentage of xantophobes in the world? Because you have one ophidiophobe here already speaking out with a phobia sitting at 10% prevalence.

        So I ask again, why does it have to be all or nothing? You say you don’t mean to demean and yet that’s all I’m hearing.
