Yeah it's been kind of crazy how when it comes to the Ukraine war people seem to not only have zero issue posting straight-up gore on major websites, but also completely neglect to add trigger warnings. Society always cared about these things before but the rules get exempted specifically for this conflict. It could be merely because both sides here have good surveillance technology and a desire to demoralize each via information war but it also feels like a biased exception on the part of my fellow westerners sharing this stuff where there'd normally be a bunch of people reporting and censoring it. Like oh, they're Russians and Russians are always our nemeses, so it's OK because it's personal for us. Or some shit like that. As if that somehow changes or invalidates the hard facts of alienation and trauma.
