The statements from IG execs are pretty robotic, aren't they. Safe and Supported (tm) Thoughts and Prayers (tm) If I were writing or talking with care and attention specifically about this incident (as opposed to regurgitating a talking point/slogan) I might use the word supported, as in "we want our users to feel supported." (Better, I might actually eschew the weak and sniveling passive voice and say "we want to support our users" or even better yet, "we support our users." But obviously it's hard to be that direct and simple when you also exploit users.) Anyway, I would probably not spontaneously say "safe and supported," since she herself was the one who rejected safety. Even if (long shot) I decided to include the tangential idea of safety, I might say "supported and safe." So yeah, to me, the phrase was jarring enough the first time I read it, but then a different person says the exact same phrase? It's like an assembly line. This poor girl is being treated as a "case" and callously lumped in with who-knows what other "cases" that fall under what's starting to sound like a branded initiative.
