The post isn’t “here’s a story about rape”, the post is “Western media are downplaying what is rape”, it’s about the media.

True but the point is that the media aren’t calling it rape, so the discussion may not need to divulge all the brutality. A spoiler tag could be used and you can choose to read about it or choose to believe it’s rape without reading about it and then both go on to discuss the media and their cowardice.
