@Alon @AstroKatie @Mabande But just quietly, if people do CW eye contact they’re only doing something to try to take care of strangers for whom that might be a thing. That “culture of CWs” — like encouraging alt text which BS used to not do, and now does — is just a way of saying “hey, keep in mind others aren’t living with the same needs or lived experiences as you”. In the end, erring on the side of caution isn’t the worst thing we could do for each other.

Of course there are better and worse ways to point things out. All we can do is try not to be assholes for any reason anywhere even with good intentions.
