Why is it all-or-nothing? If it was a partial image I’d understand but the image blatantly spans the entire screen on both mobile and web. this is far from every other common phobia depicted as an image and quite a common one at that.
It’s an all or nothing unless you want to be the ruler who decides whose phobia is common or sever enough to justify a content warning.
Sorry, Jane Doe, but your xanthophobia just isn’t common enough to warrant a content warning.
I don’t mean to demean you, but saying that your particular phobia is bad enough to warrant a cw, but then saying that someone else’s isn’t, comes off as quite a poor take.
I don’t see any Janes claiming xantophobia. What’s the percentage of xantophobes in the world, even? Because you have one ophidiophobe here already speaking up with a phobia sitting at 10% prevalence. Actually, I know a handful of ophidiophobes and you might too. How many secret xantophobes do you think you know? It’s probably zero. How about arachnophobes? At least one.
So I ask again, why does it have to be all or nothing? Ask anyone what the three top animal phobias are and I guarantee snakes is one of them every single time. You say you don’t mean to demean and yet that’s all I’m hearing.

Good lord, go be defective somewhere else.
Coming from a Texan, no less.
