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 Also, I try to take note when I think the words "At what point does this end?" When I start making slippery slope arguments in reaction to someone's request, that's usually my clue that my privilege is showing, and I'm being resistant to someone asking me to give way when I'm not used to being asked that. I'm not saying that's what's happening w/ you, but since you pretty much said my exact mental cue, I thought I'd share it. Big love, and thanks for asking a tough question
