"Well, no, but-"

"So they're misogynistic? Racist? Transphobic? Ableist???"

"N-no, actually they enforce strict banning on all those things, BUT-"

"So they bully people into suicide?"

"Nooo, they require content warnings for even mentions of suicide, BUT!"

    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.

    the 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.
