censorship is a plague. the rest of the internet is not tiktok, stop censoring triggers and tags. i cannot blacklist suicide if you tag it on ao3 as "su!c!de", i cannot avoid a show with bestiality if you mark it on a site where the entire point is to list potential triggers of a show, specifically doesthedogdie, as "b********y". if i didn't see additional comments, i would've never known they had an episode about bestiality unless i went in and watched the show and figured it out myself, which destroys the entire purpose of doesthedogdie.
you are not protecting people with triggers, you're actively harming them by shoving a potential trigger in their face that they can't avoid. you're harming people with screenreaders, disabled people, and nonenglish speakers because you are uncomfortable typing out a word. pro tip: just don't talk about it then. go away. we don't need our hands held by someone who doesn't know what they're doing OR doesn't respect us enough to do it properly. have you people learned nothing from the tumblr porn ban.
