WHAT EVEN ARE TYPING QUIRKS?!

typing quirks are sort of like someone's motor way of typing. some people do it for fun, and others don't. did/osdd systems can have alters that use typing quirks, in which case they may not be able to control it. other people that use typing quirks include but are not limited to: neurodivergent people and age regressors. anyone can use a typing quirk, but those are the most common groups of people to use them.

aren't typing quirks ableist?!

they can be, depending how you use them. typing quirks can't be read by screen readers and may be difficult for people with dyslexia to read. however, if you provide translations or don't use them on public platforms, they're generally okay to use

why do people use typing quirks?!

people often use typing quirks because they make them feel more comfortable or because they can't help it [did/osdd alters are an example of that.] others often just do it for fun. there was a surge in typing quirks after the comic "homestuck" became popular, as it included typing quirks.
