Do you think that they think every other creature has a fucked up looking face, or do they have no idea they look the way they do? Every other time they meet another sand boa are they like “Jesus Christ, what happened to him??”
“how do these motherfuckers see the light filtering through the sand when they’re burrowing?!? Are they just blindly burrowing? How do they even tell when prey is near with their eyes buried?”

Please, please use a spoiler tag or cw for close-up pictures of snakes. A lot of people suffer from ophidiophobia and this is a big jump scare. Thank you for understanding!
E: That includes me. I had to cover up the post to reply–it’s that bad. I’m neither mentally prepared or wealthy enough to go to therapy. Not sure why the downvotes for advocating for some sympathy.
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 depicted as an image and quite a common one 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.
I don’t see any Janes claiming xantophobia. What’s the percentage of xantophobes in the world, even? Do you see any large images of solid yellow around? Because you have one ophidiophobe here already speaking up with a phobia sitting at 10% prevalence. Actually, I know a handful of ophidiophobes and you might too. How many secret xantophobes do you think you know? It’s probably zero. How about arachnophobes? At least one, I bet, and they probably fly out of the room at the sight of one.
So I ask again, why does it have to be all or nothing? Ask anyone what the three top animal phobias are and I guarantee snakes is one of them every single time. If someone asks nicely, it takes three actions to fix an image that spans the entire screen. I really hope I’m being clear that the problem is the large images.
You say you don’t mean to demean but you’re not making a good case for it by jumping to extremes and diluting what I’m saying.

Good lord, go be defective somewhere else.
