Help me out here guys. I know things get people upset, including politics... but at what point do I need to put anything that can get anyone upset behind a content warning? NSFW stuff, things that can cause epilepsy, sure... but conversation about politics? Feels extreme to me. Let's talk about this. Why should people use a CW for it? Why shouldn't they?

@shivian I look at it the same way that I look at all PC culture. Sure, you have the right to say anything that you want, but if you say something shitty, people have the right to decide they don't like you. You can certainly post whatever you want, for the most part, without a CW. Just know that more people will probably block or mute you. If you don't want more people to block/mute, use CWs for the things people are requesting stay hidden.
