It is said that taboo challenges one's free speech and individual rights to express a subject or issue in need to be addressed. Taboo contents are hot subjects that can attract people to read and invite search engine crawlers and spiders to hang on. But some people considered them not healthy subjects or topics to discuss. Should you still insist to write them?
Dictionary and Encyclopedia define Taboo as any of the negative traditions, objects, or behaviors generally regarded as harmful to social welfare or something that is forbidden by a society as unacceptable or improper. It is a strong social prohibition relating to any area of human activity or social custom that is sacred and forbidden based on moral judgment and religious beliefs. Breaking the taboo is usually considered ill-favored or offensive by society.
I think we can still write those taboo topics provided that our intentions are to clear the issues and to protect the victims. Because if nobody will stand to discuss issues, crimes, violence and etc., I can see that the world will be full of mess and madness!
