What is this hexbear rule? We are becoming the strawman fascists are making of us Edit: furthermore I think this does not help federation at all, I think we should follow the same principle that is used in extradition: it must be illegal in both states in order for the person to be extradite, or it needs to be illegal on both platforms to be removed, but again, that might lead to problems if a community deems racist jokes, for example, not illegal so we can’t do much about it, it’s an headache. Edit 2: i think I could be misunderstood easily, Im not attacking the platform, just saying that that’s a generally stupid rule.

    Would you post a mutilated human corpse without an NSFW? That’s basically what you’re doing if you post a picture of animal product food.

    I say this as a person who still needs to stop eating corpses and rape products myself; militant veganism is good and cool.

      You’re going too far with this.

      Posting a picture of a mutilated animal corpse is the same as posting a picture of a mutilated human one, at best.

      Let’s be practical; having too broad a scope on what requires a trigger warning will have a trivialising effect. Do you expect people in general to tag nsfw for talking about their blt sandwich, for example? If not, then isn’t this all some kind of weird moralising flex?

      (And I’m tacking this on here because many of these militant veganists you praise have a habit of dismissing anyone who doesn’t completely agree with them as being hardened meat lovers who just hate vegans:

      I do advocate for bringing about the end of animal exploitation. I suppose the end goal if the vegan cause. I just think the way it’s being carried out here is incredibly alienating, and therefore ineffective.)

          How is dairy a rape product? AFAIK it is not produced via a forceful sexual intercourse. Unless you consider milking to be a violation of the cow’s bodily autonomy?

            Cows don’t produce milk for nothing, they must be forcibly impregnated before they start producing milk. The industry term for the place they do that, is called the rape rack.

            I suggest you learn more about animal liberation related topics.

            Cows need to be pregnant to produce milk. In order to have a steady supply of milk, this will require continuously impregnating the cows against their will. Even in the industry the racks cows are attached to for forced insemination are called “rape racks”.

              Cows need to be pregnant to produce milk.

              That doesn’t sound right from what I know, but it is entirely possible my knowledge is wrong or incomplete. Thank you for explaining, I’ll be off to research

      And yet that expands to dairy products, would you consider an ice cream as some triggering stuff worthy of a trigger warning?
