Go for it. Unfollow me if you wish, I’m not going to whine about it. 

I was nice about the whole situation so don’t even go there.
Just don’t. 
The only attitude I had was more or less ‘I haven’t had anyone actually complain about it and tell me it triggered them’ — Meaning there was no proof of this actually happening to anyone, not even from the anon who asked, and therefore I am not obligated to do anything. 
I am not a villain. 
That said — There’s extensions for browsers that stop any form of autoplay and they are free. 

Look, I have triggers myself but here’s the thing, I don’t expect the world to change for me because I have triggers. I learn what they are and when I encounter them I take precautionary measures to prevent them from becoming a future issue. 
Am I saying triggers aren’t a thing, no. Seems like everyone and their mother is putting these accusations on what I’m saying when I in fact never even said any of that.
I said ‘no’ because there was no proof.

I’d sooner suggest that if someone is triggered by loud audio/noises then they shouldn’t put their volume up high enough where a slow/moderate symphonic intro is going to terrify/trigger them because there are tons of blogs that have autoplay on them. 

Asking someone you don’t even know (on anon no less) to change something that is not even insulting/demeaning/bigoted/immoral/sexist on their personal blog is just unfair. Still, in the end I DID actually turn it off. It has been off for hours now… So the situation should be done.

Translation of anon:

Oh no! Kato actually said no to someone because it’s her own page and she’s defending hher rights on what functions and is put on there! The horror! 2scary4me //unfollows
