pet peeve is when someone is coming onto a post thats very clearly like "i have no desire to label this thing revolving around gender or sexuality and i am fine with that", and their first thought is to go "oh actually what you're describing is x!" (it is not x) or "waiting for you to discover y" (it is not y), or just generally anything in that wheelhouse of essentially saying "i am going to ignore that you said you didnt want this thing to be labelled because i am coming here assuming you havent thought of this before" like trust me 5 times out of 10 op has, 4 times out of 10 op hasn't but your term doesnt fit anyway, and 10 times out of 10 youre being a know it all so even if the term did fit its still annoying

#this is related both to my earlier reblog with the acespec writer guy and to other experiences ive had online in general #i know it comes from a place of wanting to be helpful so i feel bad being Too mean about it but also. its still annoying #and i WAS that person in middle school so it makes it Even More annoying #bc i see it and automatically think the person doing it has to be in middle school #and then im annoyed that i was potentially subjected to a middle schooler's opinion #talk #vent #<- tagging for prosperity bc it probably is one but i never feel like it is in the moment #edit: coming back hours after writing this post realizing i said prosperity instead of posterity in the last tag. oops
