I am so appalled and disgusted by this that I can't not say something.
Whatever your position on warnings, I hope we can all agree that commenting on a frank and brutal post from a survivor to contradict her account of the abuse she suffered and to say that the survivor is trying to paint herself as more of a victim IS GOING SO FAR INTO UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUR THAT ANY LINES THAT WERE CROSSED ARE NO LONGER VISIBLE.
(Warning: Very explicit discussion of sexual assault and the nature, anatomy, cause & effect of triggers. Is itself triggery.)
Well,
aukestrel did just that to
impertinence. And then deleted her comment, the fucking coward.
And I hoped
cynatnite was about as low as you could get, when she decided to lecture survivors on how best to manage their PTSD (even if they don't have it), based on research she did for her fanfic, and how her characters coped in said story.
If you don't find her behaviour utterly despicable, I'd love to hear why. Because I can't comprehend anyway that it would not be.
ETA:
lcsbanana has done a far more comprehensive calling out of terrible behaviour.

I don't get what's so hard about hiding a warning. They seem to be perfectly OK with sparkly text and banners and prettying up their LJs. Whiting out a warning, though? Rocket science.
