So here's the thing. Nobody except your instance admin can MAKE you CW for politics/racism/etc.

But if you're one of those people who think "my topic is so important that it would be wrong to CW it, because The People Need To Know", then "The People" will start muting you, and pretty soon you'll just be yelling to yourself. I know I've muted a fair few people for politics without CW, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

So if you want "The People" to read what you have to say, CW. #meta
