I’m not suggesting that, and it didn’t seem to me like OP was either
Comment on [deleted]
squaresinger@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoIt sounds ignorant and insensitive to suggest that companies should not monetize and advertise potential trauma-triggering holidays or at least allow users to disable that monetization/advertising?
Do you read what you and I write? Or do you just want to be outraged at all costs?

Then you didn’t read what was written.

I did, nothing about people no longer using the terms was said in the OP. Please don’t resort to wild claims of lying like that.

The OP is literally this:
I hate when websites use the terms “Item arrives before Mother’s/Father’s Day”.
Makes me want to cry, thinking about the alternate timeline where I have a normal life and no depression/anxiety.
What about “I hate when websites use the terms” and “Makes me want to cry” tells you that OP wants websites to advertise with mother’s day/father’s day?
And what about “Websites shouldn’t use the term for marketing/websites should allow you to opt out” tells you that I said people (and not only companies) shouldn’t use these terms?
Again, please read what was written, don’t invent arguments and statements.

So, this is where it all went wrong. For some reason, you thought that “ignorant and insensitive” were being directed at your reply to my comment, and not to the comment I was originally responding to. Perhaps you forgot that my original comment was a reply to someone else? Either that or you’ve been trolling the whole time.
Also, this marks the moment where you change the subject away from whether that comment was insensitive, and towards discussing whether OP made any demands, which was never an issue on my mind. Damn fine trolling work, I must say, keeping me distracted for so long.
