I keep seeing intense discussion of csa/cse being untagged because it's clearly and solely anti-csa/cse (I think people often think that it's somehow not triggering when people are discussing it to condemn it).

I'm really not very good at tagging, but there are a few things that I often use as indicators as to whether a post should be tagged with a trigger warning:

If it at all describes (even vaguely) a specific incident, image, video, etc, then I tag it.

If it uses phrases like "Most people can't imagine the pain..." and "Unless you've been through this, you wouldn't know..." then I tag it.

If it uses visceral or emotionally powerful phrases (like "violating innocent little kids" and "I still see it when I close my eyes at night") to describe the act, image, video, etc, then I tag it.

If it's a long post that begins light but gets heavier as it goes along, then I tag it.

There are probably more but I've never written them all out before, it's like an automated system in my brain, and I do judge on a case by case basis or sometimes forget tags.

I'll add on if/when I think of some more things, and feel free to add your own.
