What is the point in censoring the word "rapist" here? The word is intended to have an impact. It is supposed to point out that this man should be nowhere near power.

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.

How many trump wannabe parties do we need in this country???

One Nation has been like this for 30+ years. They have needed neither influence nor inspiration from any international sources. They're horrible all on their own.

Bring out the guillotines, and start with these cunts

The article includes some details which make it clear there's no room for benefit of doubt, this is an extreme abuser.

A One Nation spokesman said Senator Hanson was "aware of the circumstances around Mr Black's conviction."
