Grr. Argh. One of my writers groups has blown up again with people bitching about the fact #ContentWarnings exist.

Anyways, content warnings exist.

Here, have a blog post.

Spoiler alert: content warnings are a good thing.

Agreed, and I wish we had workable ones for boosts here, that covered the entire thing. Our current options for CWing boosts of "not at all" or "link it, don't boost it" are... inadequate.

Also as a mostly (ex) writer who stepped back from writing BECAUSE of my not wanting to talk over more valid voices or put things into the world that unnecessarily cause pain or harm when there's so many unavoidable real harms - I hate people who think artistic license is infinite

@clacksee @bookstodon Like, artistic license does NOT give one the right to speak as marginalized people one is not, it does NOT give one the right to spread harmful stereotypes, it does NOT give one the right to make content that objectifies vulnerable people and glorifies and fetishizes the abuse of power over them as something to be celebrated....

Or well, it might for a lot of people in the hellpits that are Hollywood, traditional media, etc, but we all need to do BETTER.
