gollark: I wonder if some sort of dynamically-switchable channel content warning thing would be remotely doable.

gollark: I mean, if I were being more consistent, which I probably should be, we should maybe... not have rule 4, in its current form? Probably the imagery bit due to things I already outlined, but better methods for handling "textual conversation which makes me uncomfortable" than just not having it which would generalize to other things.
gollark: Workplace-wise it is more visible from a distance, I think.
gollark: Imagery has more of that "horribly scarred for life instantly" thing going for it which you can probably avoid with text.
