    Are we supposed to use "CW" for amputees? They're human that seems pretty fucked.

        It doesn't talk about the amputation process tho, so I don't really see the need for a warning. Do we need a warning for going in public and possibly seeing an amputee because it might disturb us to think about what might've happened? I had a classmate with a fake leg in 3rd grade who talked to me about it and I wasn't grossed out. We're adults, this shouldn't be disturbing or abnormal to anyone

          There are other things one can encounter in public which may require a CW here, like meat or mentions of some violent acts.

          This is my take. Somebody getting amputated? CW for gore. A person with a disability? CW is inappropriate.

      I guess my question leftover as someone who never posts is: is there a list of the sorts of things we want CWd? Not to be a lib about it, but I've been very confused many times for what sort of person is helped by CWs at various moments. This is the first though where the CW actually has a very negative effect. So I guess what sort of goal do we have with content warnings is a better question

    In Putlerist Russia, the army is so desperate that it’s sending amputees and disabled people into the front lines to fight
