    Is there anything specifically bad about them using the thorn, other than maybe some accessibility loss? I can only find something about a random meme, so it looks to me like y’all are just petty because “omg they write differently how dare they”

      It’s not that they write differently. It’s completely fine and part of “local flavour” and “that guy charm”. It’s in this context, where they are saying semi-controversial shit and asking to be taken seriously, that I am letting them know it is inadvisable to carry on with that schtick.

        Ok, fair is fair. I can imagine contexts like talking about Gaza or some other hard to read stuff where certain ways to write like furry talk would look too out of place, so I can see where you come from. But to me this is a context that is still a bit like, whatever. Just a weird character in. If that affects their credibility, welp ^^
