@IWriteAllDay_ Yeah, recently a (well-meaning) person put a content warning on a reply to us under the reasoning that our username was "the q-slur"

We had a productive conversation about it, and it's fine, but that someone being like "your existence is triggering" seems a lot more like a them-problem than a you-problem.

@bitomag @IWriteAllDay_ I've been having a hard time taking CW culture seriously lately after seeing and hearing about literal news orgs needing to CW their articles, about the topics for which their news org is made.

I think I'll take the mute; sorry.

@myaavery thank you! Somebody came up in my thread mad as fuck but what you pointed out are VALID concerns. Idk, I think it lets people who consider themselves the default or “normal” off too easily 🤷🏾‍♀️

2. The response to "just enable Always Expand CW Content" is that there's no granularity to the system. Disreagrding my feelings in #1, *IF* I were to accept that, that means *all* CW content is expanded. What if I actually want to see posts about trans issues, or as @IWriteAllDay_ pointed out institutional racism, but I don't want to have some cop murder video auto expanded?

My current thoughts on the CW thing so far as I've seen it are twofold:

1. No I absolutely will not censor the fact that I'm trans and live a life dealing with trans issues because it hurts your feefees to read it. Fuck you.

I obviously don’t plan on posting anything gruesome or anything like that. But asking people to CW things like institutional racism due to discomfort is a “no”. Thanks.
