I think it’s mostly a reflex of uneasiness, but considering how hard it can be for a victim of sexual violence to come forth and whatever the gender or sexual orientation, it is simply inconcevable to refuse to hear their words. And yes, it’s icky, it’s a fucking hard topic to write or read about.

What I would advocate for is to (already done) display and pin informations toward helplines around the globe, and maybe soliciting the actual participation of these hotlines, if possible? Maybe some common education in how to receive and moderate communities with such difficult topics?
