Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Almost, except it's not meant for 'awwww your poor widdle fee-fees got hurt', it's your PTSD being triggered, which is magnitudes less silly.

ah, okay
Wait, you only have alcohol lunches on Friday? How do you get through the rest of the week?
the rest of the week are black tar heroin lunches
which is unique for everyone and not always even remotely predictable as to what could trigger something.
alcohol breakfasts

Ok. So it specifically references people with a disorder. That makes a lot more sense.
So I don't have to be like "Trigger warning, cat falling off slippery counter onto floor" or something.
Only things that might legitimately induce an episode.
That's a insult to all of the music those games have ever featured
trigger warning everything
gotta sign consent forms before reading every post
For certain situations, it's a good idea though.
For instance, a feminist blog that veers between posting pictures of the writer's cats and graphic descriptions of an eleven year old being raped.

But that might legitimately induce an episode
Which is why the whole process is flawed
Things that include pretty much everything
I think Pony once brought up the fact that some woman on a feminist blog of some description had gotten angry that there wasn't a trigger warning on a video in a post of small children playing and having a good time
triggers everywhere
I hear you - I get really distraught when bloggers sucker punch me with posts about their cats.
Sometimes I really regret bitching about feminist blogs with Pony in public and I bring up one thing that bothers me, because then people bring it up six months later and I just throw my hands up.

oh god my cat was run over by a car in front of my very eyes
why didn't you trigger warning that you heartless person you
whyyyyyy
Except bento is a japanese term YOU RACIST
RACISTTTT
So uh
why exactly do they feel the need to graphically describe a child getting raped?
I'm more inquiring for my own benefit so I am at least familiar with the concept and what legitimate uses it may have. It seems like a small thing I can do that in some situations is useful, and if someone calls me out when I don't and I don't feel I needed to I'll tell them to fly a kite.
because patriarchy.
I'm eating two different kinds of kimchi right now

It secretly turns them on.
I'm single ladies. :winky:
Stuff like the recent Texas brouhaha, explaining why the New York Times coverage is so inherently flawed.
Or a writer will describe her own rape as a child as a cathartic process.
Stuff like that.

It's a Japanese restaurant, it's Arigato Sushi or something like that.
He's not an actual Japanese, but it's not like I can tell the difference. I'll just ooh and aah over the fact that he can use chopsticks.
What kinds of kimchi
I am getting a hankering for some Korean food actually

Thoughts?
It was directed at Paws, not you, hence the delete.
Wait, some people still don't know how to use chopsticks?
mind
blown
I'm not going to try and transliterate them, but fermented radish has always been my favorite dish (and which is why I eat pounds of it whenever I visit my parents)
I just like making people who delete their posts sweat 8-)
