I made a petition to ban/minimise perfume use in schools
You can find the petition on change.org here
Reblog for a greater audience!
(Under the cut is promotion/reasoning and relevant articles)
WHY IT'S BAD
This petition is mostly for people to show to headteachers or similar. Its not exclusively for me and its not exclusively for schools but I made it for schools originally.
Just to clarify, I still think perfume is an okay thing to use. If you put a normal or subtle amount of perfume on, there isn't really a problem. If it's not an overwhelming or obnoxious amount, it's not okay. That's why I made this for schools- students don't tend to be rational with their perfume use. Additionally, it's about where you spray it. If it's outside or not in a public place, it's okay, but if you spray it indoors in a classroom, it's a lot more dangerous. I'm not completely anti-perfume, I'm just fed up with the constant, dangerous, upsetting misuse of the stuff.
You can let me know if you can think of any other points to add to this list. I've already added a lot to it!
Dangerous for asthmatics
Sensory overload
Distracting/annoying
Overused
Smells bad to many people
Trigger meltdowns/arguements/overwhelm
Nausea
Severe allergic reactions (burns, sneezing, hives, swelling, and even anaphylaxis)
Skin irritation/triggering excema flares
Dizziness
Fainting
Migraines/headaches/light-headedness
Runny noses/sneezing fits
Air pollution
Dangerous to some animals
Seizures
Lupus flares
Minor allergies
Trigger traumatic episodes (for those who have trauma with someone who uses lots of perfume or a specific smell that reminds you of a traumatic event
Cancer

Premise: A deadly virus is spreading around in the gimmickverse. The infected individual will have violent tendencies and will try to harm any other gimmicks in sight, no matter who they are to each other. It spreads via it entering ones bloodstream, usually from an infected individual breaking the non-infected's skin. It takes a couple hours after being infected for symptoms to show, which starts with more rash behavior and then straight-up violence. No one knows how the virus got here, but it's spreading rapidly, and no one has the anecdote... but it's rumored to be in a long abandoned chemist lab from the last outbreak. Will someone find the anecdote and save everyone? Or will the infected spread this virus to everyone?
Roles you can have: Infected and showing symptoms, infected and not showing symptoms, not infected
My role is infected and showing symptoms

*Whata is walking around, the blade of the large axe they have with them dragging against the asphalt ground behind them with an unholy screeching noise. The blade is clean, only because they haven't found any victims... yet. They have a manic grin on their face, like the virus that has overtaken them has also stolen every ounce of sanity they once had.*
Come out, come out wherever you are!~ You can't hide from me forever, my fellow gimmicks~ *They call out in a sing-songy voice with a threatening and sadistic tone, their gaze checking the surrounding area for any sign of the other, majority uninfected gimmicks.*
