Please stop with the r*pe thing. We all know you’re trying to say rape, it’s okay. We know you don’t condone it, you don’t support it, you’re merely talking about the subject and you’re not hiding what you’re talking about, we know it’s rape, it’s fine to talk about rape being a bad thing and using the actual word for that. We’re all adults here.
I genuinely want to know if it even helps people who feel triggered after reading the word. Does the * actually change things that much? Like you said, everyone knows what’s being said.
If people are actually triggered by any discussion of rape, then they might have a text filter set up to block posts containing the string “rape”… Which this post won’t get blocked by either.
As an aside, presumably “sexual assault” is a better content warning flag than “rape”. More neutral and less emotionally loaded.
Well yeah, but at least rape is clear. I hate it when someone ralskt about how a woman had an indecent relationship with a young boy where a guy just plain raped a little girl.

It’s tiktok brain. If say or type certain words over there you can be reported for it.
It doesn’t do anything but virtue signalling

Call both what it is, rape
