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.
Thank you for speaking up about this. I honestly don't use this site as much as the old sub because seeing this kinda stuff over and over has been pretty bad for my mental health. It's tough because some people like to vent about it using humor and of course I know that it's important for powerful people to be exposed as complete monsters, but I don't know I guess even when the memes are done with the best of intentions it comes off as kinda tasteless to me. I'll also add on that I think a lot of Epstein posts tend to fall in the same category as the Biden ones
