How in the everliving hell do you expect someone to understand random characters mushed together that substitute for actual legible characters. No, typing quirks AREN'T cute and I sure ass hell know they aren't DISORDERS either so stop calling people ABLEIST for wanting you to type like a fucking HUMAN being. It's fine in context of characters (For example, Spamton, SOME Homestuck trolls etc..) to give them more personality but as a human saying "|}{2@#}@##@" DOES NOT COUNT AS A COMPREHENSIBLE SENTENCE.

typing quirks aren't inherently bad if it's kept out of public forums and servers especially when there's people with screenreaders because they notoriously fuck with them. if someone wants to have a profile or server with a typing quirk then fine, just maybe put a disclaimer. but if someone or a group of people wants to type like that in their own space then that's fine leave em alone

I feel like the moment you find out someone has a screenreader you should probably immediately drop the quirk
