As is often pointed out, this board is NOT all adults. Children read things on here. The details of the alleged crime were not necessary for your post at all. It's not about being PG as an adult. I can cuss a sailor under the table but I know when and where to use adult language and terms. It is offensive to those whose children might read it or who are, in fact, living a PG life as an adult.
This sits wrong with me. Children legally are not allowed on forums based in the US. Why should news be censored on this site. It's different if they were the OP own words but posting an article to inform people or get their opinion should not open someone up to attack.
If your child is on this site alone then you might have bigger issues to deal with.
If not then they are going to access much worst things then this board.
If you had seen the original post, I don't think you would be asking why everyone was questioning the appropriateness. It was ... graphic, to say the least. Definitely not suitable for a public forum.
I agree that there can be extreme criticism on here, BUT the original post was VERY graphic and it didn't need to be.
My two corrections were of wording which is NOT helpful or insinuating the correct thing. There is no such thing as "rape with another crew member" unless it was more than one person DOING the attack.
And it's far better to refer to the person on whom the crime was committed as a survivor rather than "victim".
