Before I forget again, is my avatar image here okay? I've seen a lot of people doing CWs for eye contact, and then I realized my avatar is a face. But, most of them are? I don't know what's okay, there.
I'm autistic myself, but I went through training to overcome the eye contact problem (mostly) when I was younger, so it's hard to relate.
@relee There's no eye contact in your avatar though

@Felthry I didn't think so either, since it's looking off to the left. I've seen people do CWs for eye contact on images that aren't looking at the camera, though.
@relee it's particularly bad for us at least with photos of human faces, and it likely would be a problem for us in that case, but it's not now

@relee actually direct eye contact from non-human-looking beings is usually fine, like the post @hourlyfoxbot just posted is just adorable, not a problem

@Felthry That's interesting! I don't get much trouble from eye contact anymore, but what feelings I get come from anthro and non-anthro forms. Though, thinking about it, I don't usually get anything from pictures, only irl.
Different folks are different!
