I hate when websites use the terms “Item arrives before Mother’s/Father’s Day”.
Makes me want to cry, thinking about the alternate timeline where I have a normal life and no depression/anxiety.

True, but who asked for any of that? This post is venting about how the holidays remind them of abuse, not asking why the holidays exist. What’s supposed to be OP’s reaction?
“Oh, you’re right, I guess I’m dumb for being sad about holidays that only exist to sell cards. You’ve cured me!”
Sounds like you can’t handle multiple facets of a topic at the same time.
What i can or can’t handle isn’t relevant or what I’m talking about…
I’m telling you it sounds ignorant and insensitive
It sounds ignorant and insensitive to suggest that companies should not monetize and advertise potential trauma-triggering holidays or at least allow users to disable that monetization/advertising?
Do you read what you and I write? Or do you just want to be outraged at all costs?
I’m not suggesting that, and it didn’t seem to me like OP was either
Then you didn’t read what was written.
I did, nothing about people no longer using the terms was said in the OP. Please don’t resort to wild claims of lying like that. They just said it’s anxiety inducing and makes them want to cry. You can infer that they’d prefer it not to be used, but they didn’t actually make any demands.
The OP is literally this:
What about “I hate when websites use the terms” and “Makes me want to cry” tells you that OP wants websites to advertise with mother’s day/father’s day?
And what about “Websites shouldn’t use the term for marketing/websites should allow you to opt out” tells you that I said people (and not only companies) shouldn’t use these terms?
Again, please read what was written, don’t invent arguments and statements. There’s no glory in fighting windmills, no matter how often you claim they were actually giants.
Don’t put words in my mouth. I didn’t say they wanted them to use the terms. I specifically said that you can infer they don’t want them to use them.
But, like I said, there is no demand there, is there? You can’t get an ought from an is.
That quote is nowhere in the OP. What are you talking about? Seems to me you invented that statement entirely from whole cloth.
