For those who don't know the context:
CW CSA
Vivek 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.
From the CoC emphasis mine:
A content warning must be placed at the beginning of a post title or directly before the following topics or depictions:
- Violence towards humans or animals including corpses or gore.
Triggering content should be placed inside a spoiler tag. Post images that depict triggering content should be marked NSFW.
The use of NSFW for this content is not just correct, it's enforced. I would have removed it if it hadnt been marked with a CW and NSFW. NSFW isn't just for blurring, it lets people filter out potentially problematic content entirely so they don't even have to deal with the CW. Seeing a constant stream of CW:SA, CW:SA, CW:SA can already adversely affect people that had to survive SA and just want to browse in peace. It is possible to hide all NSFW topics which is why everything that needs a CW also needs an NSFW marking. I sometimes use it to filter out everything non-vegan because I just don't wanna deal with thinking about all theremoved and torture that goes into making someones cheese.
That explanation is also for the audience, it sucks that I keep having to remove posts that then stay buried but until Lemmy 1.0 this is how it will be.
Your post is needlessly hostile, this is !slop@hexbear.net not !effort@hexbear.net . A twitter screenshot with (maybe) a two-sentence explanation is how things get posted here. This is a comm for dunking and venting. If you think this should get spread as news then feel free to crosspost in !news@hexbear.net formatted however you wish as long as it fits that comm.
This is your first warning as per the moderation escalation guidelines.
