whoa watch out guys, this guy is really showing who's boss!
loljk. i don't think the people who do use the small font and cute text (including myself) give a shoot.
Please stop generalizing your problem and saying that everyone else hates it too when look at some of those comments. ^

yes, typing in bigger font is much better!! ◡‿◡ ♡◡‿◡ ♡◡‿◡ ♡
tbh, it's called etiquette and being considerate, other people shouldnt have to go through extra effort just to read your posts. if you want people to not take you seriously and skip past your posts, the go ahead and continue typing like that. If you want to actually be respected, then stop, and start typing like everyone else.​

honestly, people shouldn't judge a post by how they look but by their content. All of a sudden now people are looked down upon and not "respected" because they like to make their posts stand out? If color and text size was such a biiiig problem then why is it accessible in the first place? Why does every little thing need to be discriminated?

edit: i'd like to also point out that it's really quite bland and it doesn't help people not notice things like rules more often. the only cons that i can see at the moment with small and cute font is that some people just don't like it.

But really small and pale coloured text doesn't stand out, it makes it less obvious. As other people have said, I'm less likely to read posts like and, and if I do, less likely to take them seriously.

It's extremely annoying to read.

 

[Silversea]

Colours like this need to be banned. Made you read.

 

[Colour Bandit]

I find it annoying, I normally come on TBT through my Kindle so highlighting can be a bother and sometimes without highlighting I can't actually see the 'cute' posts and I have good eyesight!
So anyone who posts in a 'cute' way just gets ignored, either intentionally or by the fact I can't read it...

 

[FireNinja1]

Have fun trying to read this.​

 

[TheCreeperHugz]

I don't mind when people type tiny like this, but it bugs me when they use a colour like yellow that's hard to read. looking at you, trundle

 

[Mao]

I think it makes them feel more unique? idk. Because idk the point. But if you wanna type like this, go ahead :3 I just skip them too lol not ignoring you I just have no patience Btw, I have just noticed the colours have really QT names (only the lighest ones mhkay)

 

[Bowie]

Mate, colours and fonts are the least of your worries here.

 

[azaleakid]

I don't think you understand the issue. Of course we're going to judge a post by it's appearance if we cannot physically read the content! The problem is not that people don't want to use the default font style; it is how people are presenting their posts that is irritating.

I need to hit the ctrl and + keys to enlarge the entire page (usually 2-3 times) to be able read a post longer than a line or two in tiny font. It's not even just small font on it's own: it's when people start using serif fonts (e.g. Time News Roman or Georgia) and then reduce the size on top of that. This turns into this or this. Now, put it in a cute pastel colour. Imagine an entire post written that way:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer ut libero venenatis, rutrum lectus eu, vehicula mi. Nunc venenatis ac turpis vitae pellentesque. Etiam eget sapien tempus lectus auctor elementum. Nam purus nisl, viverra elementum quam vel, suscipit commodo est. Fusce malesuada felis sed aliquam faucibus. Donec imperdiet enim vitae ipsum egestas, a venenatis mauris consequat. Duis sed nisl venenatis, lacinia urna sit amet, lacinia risus. Nullam sit amet eros adipiscing, sodales mi sed, convallis est. Praesent semper nisi eget lacinia bibendum. Morbi vulputate in nulla sit amet faucibus. Cras vel ligula nisl. Vestibulum ac facilisis magna. Donec eget nulla posuere, semper nulla a, vehicula orci. Nullam eu blandit nulla.

Donec ac magna ultricies, feugiat libero venenatis, convallis nulla. Phasellus vel lectus tortor. Nulla consectetur feugiat metus vulputate sollicitudin. Donec elementum odio in eleifend varius. Sed leo ipsum, venenatis vel facilisis ac, dapibus sit amet est. Aliquam erat volutpat. In porttitor ligula at enim placerat, eu iaculis turpis commodo. Vivamus rhoncus tellus in purus fermentum imperdiet. Integer ullamcorper mi augue, non rhoncus nibh dignissim a. Aliquam et massa facilisis, dictum nibh at, eleifend ipsum. Phasellus porta turpis nisi, a tristique ligula bibendum at. Aliquam sed egestas odio, et volutpat libero. Vestibulum sapien felis, pretium vel lorem et, vehicula convallis justo.

Duis convallis enim ac libero rhoncus, id mattis lectus vestibulum. Donec dignissim rutrum consectetur. Duis pulvinar auctor dui scelerisque elementum. Mauris est purus, hendrerit a vehicula vitae, vulputate a est. Nullam auctor eget sem posuere mattis. Quisque rhoncus nunc eu elit consectetur pellentesque. Integer ac luctus quam.​

It's too much to expect people to read your posts if you're not prepared to present them in a way that others can easily read them.

 

[azaleakid]

@tina yeah that's true. I should have been more clear that I was referring to the tahoma font in specific since it is the most common. (in my experiences)

you can read this a lot better
than you can read this

But yeah, it is harder to read it when it goes to such an extreme such as your example, I've never seen it that way, though, so I didn't take it into consideration.

I was mainly referring to myself since I use tahoma often, but i usually make the color darker than kawaii-desu pink pastel like this
I guess my only problem was that this isn't such an issue that people should be complaining about since there's a freedom and it's accessible and people can do what they like as long as it's in the rules. :/

 

[ForgottenT]

I never bother reading posts with fonts, or colors that makes it impossible to read, if you want people to read your posts make it possible, nobody wanna have to "reply with quote" It's a waste of our time.

You're bound to find some! There are some members on here who post things that are completely unreadable like that.

not looking forward to that. 8D I find that the way I type my posts acceptable but oh gosh, your kawaii purple desu example was pretty bad. ;-;

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

It's really annoying in my opinion. It hurts my eyes at the bright colors and highlighting them gets annoying. I understand people have creativity but it's hard to read without highlighting it.

Can you really read this? It's kind of difficult, don't you think?

 

[vexnir]

I bet it's super comfortable for you to read this sentence, desu. :3


Yeah. I get creativity, but I just kind of dislike when people do this. No offense to anyone, just my personal opinion. I think it's a bit annoying.
