For those who don't know the context:

CW CSAVivek Ramaswamy has leaked an attack ad against his Democratic opponent, Amy Acton, featuring Acton's mother. Acton cut off contact with her mother fifty years ago for siding with her step father, who molested her, against her.

I'm going to be honest, this story made me so angry I could hardly think straight for a few hours, and that plus my concerns around the site's policies meant that I found it difficult to think of a good title or a way to present this, and I probably bungled it. Your criticisms were probably somewhat warranted, but I get very annoyed when I see criticisms of my posts in my messages, and I might have reacted more strongly than I should have .

The site rules says "Triggering content should be placed inside a spoiler tag. Post images that depict triggering content should be marked NSFW. Post titles should contain warnings at the beginning. Use established abbreviations where possible." The rule says "images" and "depict", both of these words means picture. This is the only time that the site rules mentions using NSFW tag. This should mean that images of a shooting would be marked NSFW but a news story describing a shooting without images doesn't need to be marked NSFW, but could still be prefaced with a content warning.

I'll note this for the future
