      CW: Discussions of SA

      Would it not be considered the same that in a psychology course discussing traumas providing a content warning before getting to discussions of sexual assault? The person in power provided a content warning stating that this would be coming up in the class both in the course description and reasonably ahead of the display. If they then lost their position as a psychology professor for simply discussing a part of psychology and trauma like this professor did with the depiction of a historic art piece depicting the Prophet, I would find it equally bullshit.

        I think this is an apt comparison. Although discussions of sexual assault are usually not meant to offend people compared to depictions of Muhammad, so I can see why there's more scrutiny for the latter. But you'll still be alienating people in both cases if you give them the options to stay or be excused from the class. But if you want a better understanding of the topic, you'll either stay or go through alternative material

      . If I hold a position of power over Christian-minority students in some country (India, say) and I insist on referring to Christ as “that Jew who went too hard with his BDSM displays”, they’d be fucking right to be upset,
