Help me out here guys. I know things get people upset, including politics... but at what point do I need to put anything that can get anyone upset behind a content warning?

.@shivian The key for me is a sense of empathy. Before posting, consider if there exists a person this could hurt.
Somebody putting up screen caps from Call of Duty may think they're just games, unless they consider how a PTSDed veteran would react to that kind of imagery. The same is true for example for thinking about the feelings of vegans before posting that steak you had for lunch.
