In reply to the discussion: IF YOU ARE GOING TO POST GRAPHIC PICTURES PLEASE INCLUDE "GRAPHIC WARNING" IN THE THREAD TITLE! [View all]pipi_k
(21,020 posts)58. Yep, there is no reason
for not doing that.
I run into that problem a lot on Facebook where someone will post disturbing images and I'm scrolling down and there's absolutely NO warning whatsoever (which can't be helped, really...but if it happens too often with certain people, I choose the option to hide them from appearing on my newsfeed).
Here, there's no excuse.
Well, except maybe what's graphic for some might not be graphic for others. But it would be nice if people would stop for a few seconds to ask themselves if they would post such a photo to a group of kids. Because when it comes to some things, that's how my mind reacts. Exactly like yours...I can't get rid of the image and often find myself physically ill.

As someone who was heavily verbally abused as a child, I try no to post anything on any board

I agree 100%. I have no stomach for graphic images. Like you, it affects me long after

I've seen "way too much in real life" which is probably *why* I freak over these photos...

I totally agree. Very often the inclusion of horrible, graphic photos is completely unnecessary.

That one shocked me too. First picture was not at all what I was expecting.
