MODERATORS
Where is the content warning?!?
If your delicate sensibilities can't handle reading this, imagine how these prisoners feel. This SHOULD shock you, and maybe that shock will motivate you to action against it.
I agree when it comes to the average person, but there should still be warnings for people who've been raped so they're aware.
You just said the word tho
EDIT: sorry, not trying to be snarky. You're right, but your misstep points out the problem
We're in a thread about rape, I think it's pretty clear not every comment in here needs a content warning.
Fair enough I suppose. I was talking to you about the general concept of warnings and such for sexual assault, and wasn't considering a broader audience.
Please do to assume my implication or non implication to this cause or another one. And properly warn for rape content.
I'm not OP, and it's literally in the title. Be an adult.
EDIT: I obviously don't understand what the issue even is, because you just said rape. Is the word okay for comments but not titles? Or is the problem that you don't have the reading comprehension skills to read the word in the title and infer the nature of the content behind the link?
I am truly sorry if I hurt any feelings. I honestly was not aware that we as a society decided that using that word is insensitive. I (34M) was sexually assaulted when I was 8, FWIW, and I understand that words have power. I just didn't get the memo in this case.
What is the considerate way to title this post?
Generally people would call it sexual assault, or shorten it to SA sometimes, just as is the case for CP or CSAM.
Grow up
I shouldn't have ask for CW but for NSFW. I'm grow up enough to know you don't throw at people explicite depictions of violence before make sure they consent.
I really don't get what is upsetting about my comment.
A snippet of text from the NYT will never be "NSFW".
I think the fact that presumably grown-ass adults need content warnings (other than NSFW which, if clicked at work might get them in trouble) is embarrassing.
This expectation that the world will change around you to coddle you should be dispensed with. Hence, the "grow up" comment.
