...WTF. [EDITED]

EDIT: putting this behind a cut, as it has been brought to my attention that this is distressing to some people. I would like to emphasise that this post is one that I reposted from another LJ, not one I wrote myself. (not an excuse, just explaining a little)

To trialia and featherfish, sorry for any anxiety caused and thank you for pointing it out.

Not that I don't agree with your sentiments about this case, because I do, but putting triggering shit like this outside of a cut without a big warning before that material? Never, EVER okay. I'm sorry that you feel that it is okay to do that to people, let alone your friends. I'd thank you for the anxiety attack you just gave me, but I'm not that passive-aggressive.

Yeah hon, I'm sorry but I'm going to have to second this. This is not a triggering thing for me personally, but obviously there are people everywhere you can hurt without wanting to, thereby completely undermining your totally worthy cause. This is topic worthy of both attention and anger, however you cannot let that anger control the way you present your rallying cry. You run the risk of either alienating people who might be less inclined to respond to something so vehemently put forth, and a much, much greater risk of upsetting others. This is an incredibly delicate subject and it absolutely deserves to be treated with delicacy. To say something like "DEAL" on this is just as insensitive and irresponsible as what you're trying to fight. Come on.
