How TF are we supposed to keep track of what is “ok” to say or not?
Most of the depression/trauma/suicide online groups say you MUST state: “Trigger Warning.” Well, this group I saw today says you will be BANNED if you write “Trigger Warning” on your posts. So which is it? How are you going to remember every group’s rules?
There’s another group called “Relationship Issues, Venting, Trauma, and Healing, Straight Talk!” but we are NOT allowed to use the N word- no not that N word, this N word- “Narcissist.” In the rules- Using that word will get you immediately and outright banned. Like WTF is that? Like how is the word “narcissist” a such a bad word that we cannot even type or say it?
It’s like saying the word “man” is a bad word and you will be banned for saying “man.” Like WTF? And the title of the group says “straight talk.” Like… isn’t not being allowed to mention A WORD is the OPPOSITE of straight talk? (the owner of that group is a man btw)
I get every group has it’s own rules bc anyone can create an online group and they are in charge of the group, but like…. HOW TF are we supposed to remember EVERY single rule of EVERY single group? I’m literally in like 200+ groups on FB. Yes I know it’s a lot of groups but I’m into a lot of different topics. Joined a bunch of depression/suicide/trauma groups and they ALL have stupid ass rules that you can’t remember. Some groups have rules on you must use x word, but other groups will ban you if use you x word. How am I supposed to keep it straight?
And it’s not like they give you a warning saying your post is flagged for using the word “rape” or “suicide” or “died” or “narcissist” or “pedophile” or whatever the fuck word they don’t like. They don’t even tell you WHY your post or comment is flagged or deleted. They just outright ban or block you or suspend your ability to post or delete your post.
Like isn’t the word “unalived” the SAME fucking thing as died? But no, you can’t say died…even if someone died.
And you can’t say rape even if your or someone was raped. Nah…they were “graped.” We can’t even say pedophile. Instead we have to write “PDF file.” Does banning words do anything? Nope. All ir does is allow ppl to just pretend this shit doesn’t exist.
Many of those groups won’t even let you use the word “suicide” or let you post how depressed you are. Like…exactly what is the point of a depression/suicide online group if you can’t even mention the WORD? Like just simply NOT saying a word doesn’t make that thing disappear. What are we, 3yo? Like a kid putting a blanket over his head thinking if he doesn’t see something, then it makes that something go away.
I hate how everyone is such a snowflake these days. Hell, it’s a Republican term and I hate using it since I hate them too (the extremists, evangelicals, etc)- but they aren’t wrong when it comes to how snowflakes ppl are now that we aren’t even allowed to use WORDS. I hate how the Left ARE snowflakes who won’t allow the use of REAL WORDS.
This is on FB
This is on Google so you can’t search for jack shit
I don’t use IG or TikTok whatever ppl are using these days, but I’m sure you’re not allowed to say certain words either
Even this site you are not allowed to type farma
This is EVERYWHERE where you are not allowed to say ANYTHING
–What other words or terms am I missing?
–What’s new words will we not be allowed to say in the next few months and years?
I repeat: HOW are we supposed to “overcome” depression or trauma if we can’t even say WORDS?
Isn’t STEP 1 to ACKNOWLEDGE it??
It’s not even like I want to not follow the rules but like…HOW am I supposed to remember ALL the rules in ALL the groups? Especially if they’re not obvious rules? Especially since the rules in 1 group contradict the rules in another group. I can’t keep track of it all!
It’s so fucking stupid how we aren’t allowed to use NORMAL WORDS anymore.
