I just saw someone put a content warning on a picture of their food.

What the fuck are we even doing? Is that really necessary?

@RVLara23 I had people here SCREAM at me in the beginning for posting photos of food without content warnings.

@Holberg

Why in the fucking fuck would food need a content warning?

Holberg.mstdn.social.ap.brid.gy•23 hours ago

@RVLara23 Lits of triggers. The culture before all the Twitter arrivals was very sensitive. CWs for food, politics. Eye contact in selfies, etc.

@RVLara23 I feel like everybody has a slightly different tolerance and no matter where you draw the line there are very loud people who will disagree.

@gooba42 sorry, if you need a content warning for food then you don't belong on social media.

Just see yourself out.

@RVLara23 I think it's possibly about not triggering people who have eating disorders or otherwise difficult relationships with food.

It feels like that should be a filter/mute situation if you know you have that vulnerability but it takes all kinds so I can't condemn anybody over it.

@gooba42

Yea, that's a bridge too far for me. I'm a reasonable person. That's an unreasonable expectation.

@RVLara23 I understand that some people with eating disorders find pictures of food triggering. I also understand that some people recovering from eating disorders find the food content warnings triggering.
I try to allow both to control what they see by adding a # food hashtag.

@RVLara23 How badly was it cooked, that’s what I want to know.

@RVLara23 https://mastodon.world/@mlanger I personally don't think it's necessary - but i could see an argument for it as a kindness to those with eating disorders
