I'm seeing a growing clash between people who want content warnings on political content and news and people who very much don't. I fall into the latter category: The idea that political content and news should be hidden for the betterment of the community is antithetical to my values. That said, if that's the norm here and it doesn't reduce the impact that news, in particular, is meant to have, then I'm fine with CWs. Thoughts?

@couts part of the concern i've seen from many (on the flip side) is that content warnings are annoying in that you have to keep clicking OR set it to see everything. And thus, they are likely to just skip most posts with CW.

@mmasnick Yeah, I think the annoyance is definitely part of it. I think it's the philosophy of it that makes me uncomfortable—if anything that's challenging or hard is hidden by default, what are the long-term implications?
