And yes, I feel those apparently charged words are wholly appropriate: removing a rape reference is just a terribly superficial way of making the story 'kid-friendly

I didn't think it was kids that that particular removal was trying to make the story more friendly to.

Who did you think it was trying to make the story more friendly to?

There are people in the world who can have their whole day ruined by the mention of rape. It's why we have things like trigger-warnings.

Only just figured out my inbox =] at the time I wrote that, I was new to fanfic, and had literally never realized the negative effect rape-as-plot-device could have on some people. Just looked at the chapter on hpmor and noticed Eliezer didn't put a trigger warning, which I find surprising.
