:::I forgot to mention that there are some cases in which the ''mere existence'' of JS (as a standard) can negatively impact users, even when it's optional. One of the External-Links [https://github.com/Rudxain/blog/blob/a326c9db28c9f7eb6e30e6a737ca4aeae0d2ee39/post/js-abuse.md#to-do contains a source] for that, so please give me some time to complete the article :( [[User:Rudxain|Rudxain]] ([[User talk:Rudxain|talk]]) 09:16, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

:::Wait, isn't JS too specific to be a theme? I think a proper theme would be "Forced software" (similarly to [[Forced app download|FADL]]). It makes sense, because many of the bad things about JS are shared/in-common with anything that executes code ("dynamic/active content") [[User:Rudxain|Rudxain]] ([[User talk:Rudxain|talk]]) 11:35, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

::::it's not essential that themes be broad - the main reason to use them is when 'this is a thing that is a general issue, but is not linked to a single product or company', I'd say? and the effects of JS on the web ecosystem are definitely not classifiable as an incident that can be pinned on a single company, and can't even really be blamed on the language itself, it's the whole ecosystem that exists around it.
