To make a statement on the current debate, I think a list of mandatory CW would be a good start on the instance level.
You can't enforce a rule if there's no explicit rule; you can't expect someone to CW everything you think deserve one without making it explicit.
So what would you want on that list?
@CobaltVelvet There's also the question of where and how deep you want to go with cultural sensitivity.

@dredmorbius Seriously is there really a need to involve islamophobia into that? I'd take a few minutes to explain why this thread is bullshit but if you're seriously linking that you're already in a deeply worrying loop of self-fulfilling obsession and ignorance
@CobaltVelvet In what way shape or form is posting a list of self-reported items from someone born into an Islamic culture "islamophobic"? What I will point out, though, is that there are sensitivities in all sorts of cultures, and if you're looking to draw bounds, you'll find the task challenging.
@dredmorbius The obsession with Islam and extremists is worrying. I can't give any fuck about what's forbidden by a theorical Islam and won't make it a rule; or any other religion or culture for that matter. Depicting Islam as the worst is just common stupidity.
This is about oppression and trauma, topics that will make many people feel bad for very real reasons they didn't make up or choose.
@CobaltVelvet I didn't pick Islam because it's /bad/ but because there's a great deal within it, /accepted as absolutely normal by most practitioners/, which is highly foreign to Western eyes. It's also about 2 billion people worldwide, approaching 30% of the world's population. A considerable constituency. You're welcome to disregard it, and I'm realising that as an instance Admin (I didn't realise this initially) you likely have your own priorities....
@dredmorbius Good then, because the amount of proud atheists enjoying to kick religion out of everything as a way to show their superiority and consider all muslims as blindly believing extremists is also worrying.
@CobaltVelvet That said, legislating morality is difficult. I'll leave that task to your able hands. Cheers.
