Thankee sai

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.


Concerns?

Hey! This is the designated catch-all entry. This is not an invitation to spam to your heart's content. The same rules apply.

TV does give warnings for graphic (or "triggering") content. Shows are required to. So uh. Yeah.

I'll agree that people on the internet carry trigger shit too far (can we stop with the bullshit 'trigger' warnings for the word 'rape' or 'abuse', guys?) but stop acting like existing in the real world means you'll never encounter a trigger warning.

I don't know about you but I don't always start watching a show from the start. There isn't a warning on during a whole show. Commercials don't have warnings either, see the anon above. And some of the shit people claim are "triggering" don't even warrant a warning according to regulations, like a nature show doesn't have to have WARNING THIS NEXT SCENE CONTAINS SPIDER.

And you just completely ignored the other examples, like coworkers talking. What do you want coworkers to do, shout TRIGGER WARNING, TALKING ABOUT THE RAPE LAST NIGHT, before continuing on their discussion?

You get far less warnings in real life than actual warnings. It doesn't mean that people aren't legitimately triggered off the internet, but the OP has a point.
