speaking of the spider post, a content warning at the very bottom of the post when the picture is linked near the beginning is less than helpful
i'm only mildly afraid of spiders so my reaction was more of an "oh shit" and closing the tab, but i feel for any arachnophobes who blundered into that link unexpectedly
as in, the ooc note and content warning would be read last, while there's no description in the post itself to indicate the link leads to a huge picture of a wolf spider.
but it... didn't really bother me? i literally just said that.
i'm just saying, having the warning for a link at the bottom rather than next to isn't all that conscientious. tons of people are scared of spiders, and someone reading from the top down might click the link without having read the ooc note first. no need to get asshurt.
"near the beginning" isn't the top of the post. the link is actually in the middle though, so neither of us can read.
shitfuck stupid semantics argument aside, "the thing on it (cw: spiders)" would be clearer and people wouldn't be so likely to blunder into the link unprepared.
i'm just saying, there's no indicator within the post itself up to the very last line that indicates what people are going to be clicking on. it's just common courtesy not to let people walk into that unprepared.
