imagine if people treated allergy warnings like they treat trigger warnings
“Do peanuts trigger you huh triggly puff?? I’ll have you know cooking is an art that I can’t restrict with this liberal bullshit”
“oh, you’re ‘lactose intolerant’??? what kind of sjw bullshit is that??”
“What kinda special snowflake can’t handle gluten?? Sorry but in the REAL WORLD nobodies gonna warn you :o) too much logic for you kid?”
i don’t have to imagine it, i’ve encountered plenty of people who behave this way in real life.
seriously.
i say im intolerant to seafood, what does that bring 9/10 times? people going “lol i’m going to see if i can trick them into eating seafood! :)”
and ive seen this EXACT attitude w/people who are KNOWN to have peanut allergies and celiac disease and be lactose intolerant
ive known plenty of people who literally truly think food allergies are “made up bullshit, meant to coddle children/people who REFUSE TO JUST GROW UP” or “only ever the product of hypochondria!”
can we stop with this mentality of just because something is/has a “physical reaction” it’s taken more seriously? because fucking honestly it’s not.
just look @ all the shit ppl get for being “”picky eaters"” look at just how many stories there are of people who ~dont look sick~ and then who get milk and/or sugar put in their drinks/food and get SICK or even end up in the HOSPITAL over it
people treating allergies/dietary needs like they treat trigger warnings already happens and it happens constantly
