I think keeping such heavily triggering words out of post titles is fair. I don't think victims - who are appallingly plentiful - should have to choose between following political news communities, and being unnecessarily upset.

I think your heart is in the right place, but they're gonna know what the word is either way.

Content warnings are a valid thing, to warn you what's about to be discussed.

But totally avoiding the topic all together in all contexts isn't really possible, or good for society.

I think censoring words like rapist isn't a good idea.
