re: the cw stuff
so after talking with @Hi_cial@snouts.online and another friend (who i think would rather stay anonymous) about this, and taking a while to eat lunch and take a break, i think i've come to realize that I was in the wrong, and also that the things we would want CW'd (i.e. details about violence and/or death) are in fact getting CW'd anyway--the stuff people are talking about is in fact just whether black people should be expected to cw their experiences as black people, which is never what we wanted a cw for
anyone else who wants to is welcome to read the discussion below, I feel like Cial explained pretty well where I was wrong and maybe reading his stuff would help others understand too
imagining future history re: uspol adjacent
"You see, during this period people believed strongly in organizing around what they called "countries", which were basically collections of people living in a certain area. One of the major countries in the 20th and 21st centuries was called "the United States", and it was a terrible place of corrupt leaders and inequality. It started to collapse in the latter half of the 20th century, then finally fell apart starting with the second BLM protests in 2020. It was completely dissolved by 2030."
re: mh-
the world is very hard right now and i am very small
i don't know how to handle conflict, i don't knwo how to help people, i just don't know anything
re: the cw stuff
like, we're not black. we can't fully understand what it's like to be black. but i want to be able to read things and help where we can and not having cws is eventually going to lead to us needing to mute stuff so we don't go into a depression/panic spiral
i don't know what the right answer is here
re: the cw stuff
this is an actual question by the way. i want to know if i'm in the wrong here so that i can not be if i am
the cw stuff
am I in the wrong to want cws for our own mental health, even if we do open almost every one?
just, not being given a chance to mentally prepare for stuff, and not being able to close it after reading, makes it way harder on us
we still read the stuff. but it's wearing on our mental health and i really do *not* want to have to use keyword mutes
i want to retain our ability to engage with this stuff
i want to have cws not to silence people but so that we *don't have to* silence people
