In addition to Lettuce’s points, I see it a lot in research papers on the topic bc it’s a convenient shorthand that can easily have more letters added to it (CSA)… researchers like their acronyms.

I personally like it for myself, bc as Lettuce said, it can be less triggering to hear… talking about it the full words makes it too real, and I’m not ready for that yet.

I personally like stories w/ really messed up stuff like SA, but I do think there can be a moral line in regards to the portrayal of such scenes. Portraying SA etc as hot or desirable is not good.
