tl;dr > …our attempts at making social media “safe” have led us to this weird world where we can’t talk about rape, gun violence, or even suicide prevention without using code words. We have to sugarcoat the reality of what is happening so that it doesn’t get censored as dangerous material… Example: > Just this weekend I saw a post complaining that we constantly use the term sexual assault for every kind of crime and don’t use the word rape, when rape is not the same thing. Yet, even in that post, the author spelled it r@pe because you can’t talk about rape on social media! I’m not sure if they recognized the irony of answering their question in the text.
