question about terminology 

I keep seeing people CW things with "SA" and I have no idea what that means and can't seem to figure out any connection between the posts CW'd as such

What does it mean?

@Felthry It vaguely rings a bell, do you have an example toot? Because I can't say right off... (maybe DM it)

@BatElite someone else pointed out that it means sexual assault in the context in which I recently saw it, but I've seen it in other contexts too (for which I don't have an example handy)

@Felthry One other thing I know it might be is Something Awful, which in my opinion is a pretty accurate self-descriptor.

re: question about terminology 

@BatElite Not familiar with that, other than that it was (is?) a forum of some sort

re: question about terminology 

@Felthry I think it still is but it might be declining? I haven't been on there myself either, but from what I've heard they've gotten quite a reputation for generally being asshats and very negative, and somehow being celebrated for that?

Maybe not the best description, but I don't like the place in any case.
