I really feel being somewhat neuro divergent when my first though was, 'wtf Is that font', it's like someone made comic sans worse.

Comic sans spotted

Look at you, jumping right to judging.

Of all the fonts in the world why is it always comic sans...

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It isn't comic sans though. It looks sort of like comic sans but it's much cleaner.

It's difficult to tell really because the quality the image isn't best but if you zoom in there's quite a lot of variation of the same letter form so it's an adaptive font.

Look at the two L's in bullying. They're not the same both times and the two t's in cutting merge into each other but not any of the other characters. So there's some custom letter forms going on there which comic sands doesn't support.

I see what you're saying... It's still comic sans adjacent and it bugs me.

My father uses it on everything and he teaches 1st grade so I just associate comic sans with kids. I used to help out a lot in his classroom growing up.

Seeing stuff like "rape" written in a font that my brain has tied to small children is unpleasant.

Not to discredit this but I feel like maybe there should be a directory about all topics with shelf numbers and not just about hard to talk about topics?
As a library, you should give me a directory where I can find anything I want. And these topics could be included in that one directory and not singled out in the middle where anyone looking at it can be targeted by some fucking bigot.

[–] MrMakabar@slrpnk.net 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but any librarian you might ask for the directory, is going to ask you what you are looking for.

Not if im crippled with social phobias, or dont want to bother a busy person at their desk. Also, the librarian at our school 30 years ago was an evil bitch which made me swear off reading books altogether.

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Every library I've been to in the past decade has had computers everywhere that can search their catalog, and even check out books & media yourself. My library also has a 3D printing and craft room, an esports room, and lots of accessibility tools and conveniences for both mental and physical needs.

[–] O_R_I_O_N@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

Wait ... You don't read books?

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Sounds like a cartoon villain origin story. The Bibliophobe!

wtf who will go to library and read a book about rape or hiv while they are still nervous or tramatized by it? shit makes no sense. You will either search the internet or see a therapist.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

You're a troll, but I'll entertain you. "Books about rape or HIV" can also be books that are meant to be an emotional help instead of just a book with facts.

Some examples for books about rape:

I Have Been Raped, Now What? by Susan Henneberg
Sexual Assault: The Ultimate Teen Guide by Olivia Ghafoerkhan
Shout! by Laurie Halse Anderson
Strong at the Heart: How It Feels to Heal from Sexual Abuse by Carolyn Lehman

Books such as these are meant to help against the trauma.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Shut up.
