@thefishcrow Thing is, I think this applies to all kinds of subjects beyond sex and drugs, too. I think there's a significant percentage of people who want, for instance, to renormalize political content because refusal to engage with it is how we ended up in this liberal hellhole in the first place. There will forever be tug-of-war between those who want topics cordoned off for mental health and those who demand engagement because they see an urgent need for broad participation.
@thefishcrow Mind you, I'm not saying "take the content warnings off of everything" is any better an answer. I benefit from them myself so I at least know what I'm about to unleash on myself. I'm just wondering how we drive the Overton window on some subjects when the norm is to put everything that _might_ be upsetting behind CWs and people are free to completely check out of hard conversations indefinitely. I don't know what the answer is. I don't know that there _is_ "an answer."
