hi, Very Passionate Bug Lover here. if your method of killing insects involves going out of your way to cause them pain, a long death, or suffering, yes you are TA. mosquito bit your leg? Smack it, that's fine. It's a) directly harming you, b) its death is quick, and c) you are not targeting its entire species just because you think they're ugly/have no purpose/annoying. Spider is living in the corner of your room so you decide to drown it in shampoo? that is a) cruel, b) the spider never hurt you, and c) go to hell forever.

Every time one of those "aita for killing insects in this very particular way" posts pops out of queue, I get ever-increasingly esoteric submissions about bug extermination. Eager to see where we end up

#every time i see those bug posts pop up its an immediate YTA #can we PLEASE leave this human-centric view of the world. 'well lol what does a mosquito do for me' hi humans arent the only thing on earth #and also like... why would that be your first thought. why is your first thought to microwave the insect or to suffocate it.#god. i am an arachnophobe too!!! i am grossed out by slugs!!!! but i will never EVER advocate for the cruel death of them #and it makes it even worse because there are so many people int he comments like 'lol ppl voting yta would cry if you stepped on an ant'#like... microwaving a cockroach is a lot different than accidentally squishing an ant #you all suck 👍 anyway bug lovers im kissing you on the mouth. lets go run around n a field forever #wasps and mosquitos are pollinators!!!! wasps kill pests and mosquitos feed pest killers like spiders!!!!#bees experience joy and distress #just because something doesnt perceive the world in the way you do doesnt mean its totally cool to torture them because theyre 'lower life-#-forms'#tw animal death
