It’s not a company nor a random strangers responsibility to raise someones kids, and in reference to adults, they can click elsewhere, looking at content online is entirely dependent upon what you search and click.

Blaming the company or someone else for something entirely in the individual complaining’s control is absolutely ridiculous.

I watched multiple children die absolutely horrific deaths before the age of ten and I don’t walk around crying about it, I deal with it and don’t make it someone else’s problem.

You are fully in the right here.

This absolute incompetence surrounding personal responsibility and decision making these days is ridiculous “I don’t want to think for myself, think for me”.

You deal with it by getting angry at a trigger warning? Looks like this trigger warning should have had a trigger warning.

Where I do appreciate your attempt at discussion, you clearly missed the point.

It wasn’t really an attempt at discussion. I’m just working on my standup routine. It’s a rough draft.

It is their company, they decide what content and what barriers there should be on their platform, whether you agree or disagree is irrelevant, as long as they are able and willing to control their website in this way.

I never said they could or couldn’t do anything. I specifically noted that people were giving up personal control in favour of pretend protection from things they themselves click on or search for then get mad about.

This was never a conversation about what reddit was doing and was always a conversation about the overall ineptitude and immaturity of society these days

Although I would generally agree with you, that has nothing to do with the image. This is just a trigger warning, from what I understood, it’s just preventing you from unknowingly accessing disturbing content, not banning it for good.

i agree, i feel like all these companies and goverments are using “protecting children” bs to censor the internet and violate privacy rights

if you are an adult and you give your kids unrestricted internet access it is your fault if they see any nsfw/l content, neither goverment nor the company providing this content should be responsible for it, as an adult it is your responsibility to keep your kids safe PERIOD

Of all the things to criticize Reddit for, taking steps to protect people from seeing material that might cause them real trauma doesn’t feel like one of them.

Yeah, I have PTSD ans animal cruelty or harm is a major trigger and I have being forced to “deal with it”. Google keeps showing me PETA publicity that literally makes me feel like dying.
