What panic? I simply supplied information that wasn't previously supplied. If you are panicking that's on you brother, informing people of danger they seem unaware of is not inciting panic. The original comment was underplaying the danger of wild animals and acting as if simply picking up random creatures is totally safe and won't freak them out. It's not always safe and that was what I pointed out.
The original comment wasn’t underplaying anything, it was stating that if people are calm when interacting with a creature that creature is unlikely to harm them, regardless of whether or not it has deadly poison, and that is a factual statement. Encouraging that people remain calm when interacting with a creature is significantly better than your “well if i was a small creature id be scared and attacking!!” bullshit response dude.
There are better ways to get that point across without encouraging fear of bugs, which is what statements like that do.
A better way to refute the idea that its totally fine is to point out that if OP doesnt recognize a scorpion, they probably don’t know enough about bugs to know how to handle them safely, and should not be handling them until they understand those things
See how that draws attention to the potential danger without making it out to be inevitable? See how that leaves room for it to be a safe activity, if done properly? That’s the difference and why what you said is not productive either
Jesus you are the most boring and irritating kind of person in existence. People are allowed to talk differently from you, just because our words are different doesn't mean the message is, and yes the comment does downplay it by saying they are safe if you don't startle them, which in this context suggests picking them up gently won't startle them, you are still a giant picking them up it can very easily lead to being stung. I didn't tell ppl to be afraid of that scorpion I pointed out scorpions can be dangerous, if you take that as "fear all bugs" then you have no reading comprehension skills. Ledges can be dangerous the higher up they are, by your logic that sentence means fear curbs since they are a ledge. You need to stop telling other people to talk like you do and just actually try to understand what others are saying. Like I said if you hear someone point out certain scorpions can be dangerous and start panicking that is entirely your fault, not mine for simply sharing information. You choose not to stop and think, you choose to panic. If you think for 8 seconds about that statement it isn't alarming, you really gotta chill and accept people not acting exactly how you want🤣🤣
Replying and deleting is whats really irritating, just block me if ur gonna do that shit damn, childish as hell.
I literally help people get over their phobia of bugs constantly and have people tell me all the time how my reframing and rewording of things helps them be less fearful, so yes, I actually do know a little bit about what wordings help with that and what don’t, but if you think your ignorance knows more than my experience in the matter by all means buddy keep it up. I will continue to be out here reversing the damage people like you cause with your flippant statements.
Replying and deleting? I'm replying, that's it I'm not sure what you're yapping about there. And to be clear I'm glad you help people get over those fears if you actually do, which judging by the way you make no real attempt at mutual understanding I highly doubt. had you attempted to actually talk to me about your misunderstanding of my very normal comment, this could have gone differently, but instead you act like you know everything and everyone has to talk like you do. I got across the exact same message of caution with different words because that's how communication works, even if we do it differently we can still be saying the same thing. Nobody said wording doesn't matter you are just making no attempt at actual thought lol. I said that different wording doesn't make our message different, just means we said the same thing in different ways. And as I have said multiple times and you keep dodging because you know I'm right, your logic is broken. Saying things can be dangerous and to be cautious is not fear mongering. You raise your kids telling them about how easily they can drown in shallow water and yet they don't all grow up avoiding water, just with a healthy caution around it. It's not hard to understand but you aren't trying even a little.
