Ngl I don't fully understand the point of content warnings in so many cases where the warning is equally as potentially triggering as the content itself.

I get it if the content of the post is actually worse, but in a lot of cases it's like, people already mention the same exact thing they're giving a warning for... by saying it in the warning. Example:

"CW: SAThey were sexually assaulted"

tbh i find abbreviations to be fine for my PTSD, as a survivor of SV. sticking to abbreviations like SA and SV and nsfw tagging posts (hide nsfw in your profile) will help limit exposure. im a big proponent of NSFW tags and abbreviations to keep our more vulnerable users safe, though i would like to see more tags in the future and even tags for comments that can hide chains. i guess the abbreviations make it more clinical rather than personal for me.

spoilerthe slightly longer r word is very bad for me though

Ok that makes sense, in my head I honestly assumed an abbreviation or a euphemism for the word you're talking about in the spoiler would have the same effect, but I didn't think about how different words can be more striking.
