What is the point in censoring the word “rapist” here? The word is intended to have an impact. It is supposed to point out that this man should be nowhere near power.

I think keeping such heavily triggering words out of post titles is fair. I don’t think victims - who are appallingly plentiful - should have to choose between following political news communities, and being unnecessarily upset.

I think your heart is in the right place, but they’re gonna know what the word is either way.
Content warnings are a valid thing, to warn you what’s about to be discussed.
But totally avoiding the topic all together in all contexts isn’t really possible, or good for society.
I think censoring words like rapist isn’t a good idea.
