Today I'm appreciating the "unofficial DVD" vendor at the local horror convention who curated a selection of subtitled movies for a deaf customer who then found one she was really happy with. Because selling movies of questionable copyright status doesn't mean that you can't try to be accessible.

here, we commonly use short hand for cws!
here's some common ones:
"-" means negativity
"+" means positivity
"~" means a neutral level of negativity or positivity, or that the poster is unsure
"mh" means mental health!
"pda" means public display of affection
"birdsite" means twitter
that should be most of them, feel free to reply if you know any other ones!

@mrgah Aha! I totally do! And now I can confidently distinguish 2 Hearts and Goldfrapp's Ooh La La (two songs I love) as "the Marilyn Manson one" and "the glam rock one"
