   @ShaulaEvans asking people to put #CW on political posts is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever read.

   You know that you can filter hashtags if you do not want to see them?

     A reminder that #ContentWarnings are fundamentally about consent.

     It's not about soft-peddling reality or coddling readers.

     When it comes to political news in particular, it's about making it possible for the many vulnerable people who are directly and secondarily affected by these developments to opt in or out to seeing deeply traumatizing content.

     If you care about marginalized people, then #CWs are an obvious choice.

     If you don't care about the vulnerable or consent... sit with what.
