Maybe I'm just missing your point I thought woke meant "aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues such as racial and social justice." So in relation to the abuse of animals I'm not sure how being actively attentive to something that could be harmful to animals could be a bad thing. And I don't feel that it is possible to be over attentive to something when it comes to the animals we share this planet with. But I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, perhaps we just have different definitions of "woke".not quite what I said ok..but yes agree what you are saying.....was just making the point that the word "abuse" these days can be "woked" to the point of ridiculous in my opinion
As for your comment about the mods hopefully being reasonable folk, they act in all cases that I have been aware of on the side of the animal based on knowledge of the species involved. There are also site rules defining what sort of content is not allowed here, so this is also the framework in which they work. This thread was made so users could speak with others about something they thought might be abusive, but were not sure if it was or not. Thus didn't want to report it in case they were mistaken or didn't feel comfortable reporting it themself for some reason. Overall I think the systems of checks and balances works fairly well on this site, but is a never ending job given a lot of the commercial crap that gets constantly uploaded to the porn section here
