Could a moderator please put some sort of warning in the title? Those images make me sick and so angry it's unbelievable.

Could a moderator please put some sort of warning in the title? Those images make me sick and so angry it's unbelievable.
- dvanduzer 13y agoI don't understand. Is the headline already not warning enough? Are you offended by the _existence_ of images?
- octo_t 13y agoTrigger warnings are important. A rape survivor may have braced themselves for a textual story on rape, but have been completely unprepared for the images.
- Achshar 13y agoDo we have trigger warnings for people who have been through other horrible things in life? That would be a lot of warnings on a lot of posts. Saying the post is NSFW should be enough.
- dvanduzer 13y agoWhy would you argue against this reason for a warning in a discussion thread where the primary complaint is "but I'm at work" ?
- Achshar 13y agoI am not against an NSFW tag, of course.
- kibibu 13y agoDon't underestimate the strength of the response to such a trigger.
- Achshar 13y agoThat's true for any survivor of any kind of horrible experience. Why single out rape?
- danieldk 13y agoI was expecting an article about the subject, which would be safe work work. Besides that reading about such a topic is bad enough. (I didn't follow the link.)
- riffraff 13y agothe headline as it's now "Rape of Iraqi Women by US Forces as Weapon of War (asiantribune.com)" does not in any way suggest that pictures of said rape are present in the page.
- dvanduzer 13y agoAs your sibling poster mentioned, and I hadn't quite realized, a "trigger warning" is a legitimate context for this complaint. The not-safe-for-work crowd has no truck here, regardless of what time or day it is.
- adwf 13y agoNSFW is generally used as a synonym for "potentially inappropriate". And yes, they do have truck here. I clicked the article expecting some further developments or prosecution over Abu Ghraib, I wasn't expecting to see graphic rape images. A NSFW tag would have been very welcome. Not what I wanted to see when having breakfast with my family and reading the news...
- kevingadd 13y agoA NSFW warning would be extremely appropriate, even if we are in the middle of a long weekend in the US.
- Zarkonnen 13y agoAgreed. This isn't about things being safe for work, this is about letting people not have panic attacks when they click through on an article.
- costapopescu 13y agoI remember similar article was posted on reddit a few weeks ago along with those images. There was byline which suggested that images were take from some p0rn movie.
- jcromartie 13y agoI don't think they are real. Another commenter said they were previously identified as being from a niche Hungarian porn movie.
