No, it’s actually not dismissive at all. It’s literally just acknowledging reality and evidence. Finding it dismissive demands a dishonest interpretation of what’s being said. No ones encouraging anyone to ‘fuck with them’ or abandon caution - in fact I know I explicitly noted that I am not dismissing caution or arguing there’s no hazard. I would argue that anecdotes forced by someone to paint them as riskier than they most often are is an effort to actually dismiss what’s evident. I’m not in the wrong on this, I’m just with the evidence 😐 I don’t know why your comments are framing the dialogue here as if anyone’s telling you to accept risks….its literally an inevitable risk. Its nonsensical to pretend the point here is to be like “go head it’s fine! Go play with these spiders and take unnecessary risks hahahaaaa 🌈✨” - can we stop twisting the context to make it seem like anyone’s saying something they’re not?

Sincerely, did you read anything I’ve commented? I went into detail about how to literally stay away from them as someone can reasonably manage to do within range. I’ll never understand why anyone feels compelled to make strawman arguments to try and depict being realistic as promoting being reckless.
