so ive been raped twice before, it sucked. i hate seeing rape posts casually on my feed. its very distressing. so seeing a meme, even with a CW, can stress me out. specifically, i'm referring to the 'its day x and joe biden is still a rapist' meme. this meme sucks because it shows up in the feed and since most rape posts are comments embedded elsewhere, that means i can just avoid the comment sections of this site. however, this meme gets posted nearly every day and its just pure shock jock shit.

ive already considered leaving the site for this reason and i feel like it might be a real bar of entry for anyone that is a sexual violence victim here. im in a support group for SV and i remember when the kavanaugh hearings were all on TV, everyone was talking about how they had to keep TV's off and stick to the internet for entertainment, with heavy filters, and avoid politics altogether. so this isnt just me.

id like to ask the mods for help on this, please remove these sorts of posts featuring rape until we have a keyword filter. rape gets mentioned every couple of hours on this site and it feels like im going through a minefield. @TransComrade69 @Beatnik

also for the people posting the memes: this isnt really a diss on you, probably dont share memes like that though

and yeah, content warnings are awful, theyre either too vague or too specific and are useless for victims. ideally, sites should have keyword filters to hide content that mentions certain words.

      honestly stop bringing it up would be the ideal until we get a filter in or a system in place to deal with it. and yeah it sucks that its that way, technically even this post that i made on this issue would be disqualified because frankly there's just no good way to approach it other than wholesale deletions, unless someone can come up with another solution.

      its mostly just certain words have a huge negative connotation that get me thinking about being raped, the word rape being one of them. sexual violence or sexual assault still suck too.

      though weirdly enough when chuds spam me it doesnt work so thats kinda neat. i guess because i see it as pathetic and not just a constant barrage of things?
