We love a good argument — the kind backed by evidence, wit, and maybe a well-placed pop-culture reference. Comments on SCREAMING IN ALL CAPS appear on individual blog posts, and we want the discussion to be as incisive as the posts themselves. These guidelines exist so everyone can participate without the conversation devolving into the worst parts of the internet.

What we expect

• Stay on topic. If the post is about rape culture in advertising, don't derail into your thoughts on the new Marvel trailer. Start a blog.
• Disagree with ideas, not people. Critique the argument, not the person making it. Ad hominem is lazy and we will call it out.
• Bring receipts. If you're going to make a claim, be prepared to back it up. "I just feel like" is not a counterargument.
• No trolling, no sealioning. If you're here in bad faith, we can tell. Don't waste everyone's time.
• Respect lived experience. When someone shares their own experience with sexism, harassment, or discrimination, listen before you lecture.
• Watch your language. Slurs, hate speech, and personal attacks will be removed. This isn't a free-speech absolutist zone — it's a moderated blog with a feminist perspective.

What happens if you break the rules

We reserve the right to delete comments that violate these guidelines. Repeat offenders may be banned. We're not interested in hosting a comments section that makes people feel unsafe or unwelcome — that's the opposite of what this space is for.

A note on tone

SCREAMING IN ALL CAPS is sarcastic, passionate, and occasionally loud. We don't expect comments to be dry academic prose. But there's a difference between sharp humour and cruelty, between righteous anger and harassment. If you're not sure which side of that line you're on, maybe sit with the draft for a minute before hitting post.
