They always make Link look so serious in promo art and for what?
I think the bicycle helmet discourse really just reinforces the idea that people believe that accidents only happen to the stupid and careless, and that people who get hurt somehow deserve it. And since nobody wants to believe themselves to be stupid, or thinks they could be careless or distracted, it's not necessary to take precautions.
And then they take safety advice as an insult because telling someone to be safe is seen as an accusation of being stupid and irresponsible, and not just a value neutral acknowledgement of statistical inevitably. We see it with masks, and seatbelts, and now bicycle helmets because everyone wants to believe they're too clever to get hurt, and too lucky to get hurt badly, until suddenly you're not and you have to resign, in shame, to being one of the people you previously saw as annoying nags, assuming you're even still alive.

Cause we can hear all of your internal monologues that even you don’t listen to, and we chatter hysterically to drown out the noise of your hatred for us (plus feeling everybody else’s feelings for them all the time is like doing emotional speedballs). We can’t help it, so just shut up and hate us like you always do since we can hear your thoughts anyway (you have that nose ring ‘cause your mother didn’t love you, but we love you, we have to)
weird that we treat autism and ADHD as intrinsically linked due to high rates of comorbidity but no one talks that way about autism and schizophrenia or autism and OCD or autism and bipolar disorder etc etc even though those are also often comorbid. gee I wonder why
