@Em0nM4stodon Also, it's annoying that people using the "what do you have to hide" argument seem to think the only people looking will be reasonable, fair-minded people understanding of all situational context etc.

Not people on fishing expeditions to find something, anything illegal or embarrassing to get you on because they're mad you said something mean about them/embarrassed their institution/etc.

Not literal stalkers and harassers.

Not someone who actually *is* perhaps well-meaning but who reads the wrong meaning into hyperbole or an inside joke, or who assumes you must have first-hand experience or plans because of fiction or lyrics

Not thousands of people who interpret your worst moment of being triggered and losing it at a troll or a creep as defining you, forever, beyond anything else, etc.

@Em0nM4stodon YES and it bugs me because of the way people characterize hiding or not wanting something to define you as suspicious when it’s more like it’s common sense to hide garbage from wild animals and bugs, not because you’re “too good to show YOUR garbage” but because it makes you vulnerable for no good reason to something that sees that vulnerability as an attractant at best, proof of being good prey at worst.
