( EDITED: I am sorry for upsetting anyone, although I'm not going to delete what I said because along with being honest people have a right to see what I say rather it makes me look bad or good you have every right to judge me however you want over this.
(Let me explain to you, just how ridiculous this trigger thing is, as clearly as I can.
There are literally wikipedia pages dedicated to the subject matter of South Park, South Park is literally one of the most OFFENSIVE THINGS that has ever been aired on tv. It has multiple episodes dedicated to almost every trigger I have ever seen. In fact? South park alone with the disgusting images it portrays could probably make it's own triggers that have scarred an unsupervised children and even many adults who were not prepared for the content.
This is a roleplay group dedicated to characters who have been abused by their parents, their friends and each other on a daily basis, a show dedicated to poking fun at the content that is untouchable by the majority of the media. Where in a huge potion of the series Kenny gets brutally killed over and over again. A show that actively makes fun and light of extremely triggering and sensitive topics.
YOU ARE A FAN OF A SHOW WHOSE VERY CONTENT IS MADE TO OFFEND AND CAUSE PEOPLE TO THINK AND TOUCH UPON THIS SORT OF STUFF.
And people are honestly trying to tell me that because they have been triggered in the past that my post is invalid, or what I'm saying is somehow rude? When I am literally only saying. "Man this is kinda ridiculous that we rp South Park and have to walk on eggshells to not upset people.."
When I am literally speaking from my point of view that the way we handle triggers is forcing some South Park rpers to either suppress or fully avoid the feed.
Am I really the only person whose going to be totally honest here and tell you how often I dread making posts because I'm worried someone is going to get offended? How I can't interact with people publicly for fear upsetting someone else about this content?
I actively try to avoid offending people and I appreciate being told when I've gone over the edge but I have spent a /year/ listening to people complain about being triggered over things as small as saying "rape is bad" to trying to defend themselves in a public post over content they never originally intended to be triggering in the first place.
It is EXTREMELY hard to play a character who is a bully, mean or even realistic to the content of South Park without someone getting upset rather you do or don't add a trigger warning.
And before you tell me that there isn't any abuse regarding the way we handle triggers think of this.
Huge potions of triggering content is visual,I get grossed out by things. I've stuff that made me feel sick to my stomach. But if you cannot handle the word "rape" if you cannot handle the concept of every day upsetting topics that we even touch upon in /high school/ then why would you even be in a roleplay in a community LITERALLY dedicated to stuff that people NEVER touch upon in almost every single episode in the entire series.
And I've checked the trigger post.
Around 15 people don't care about what you talk about but prefer getting permission.
Almost everyone else said. "Don't describe stuff in detail"
The few people who are triggered by the mere mention of "Rape" or "abuse" Probably are triggered by the word rape too I'd imagine. Because from the looks of it it's either EXTREME or not a big deal unless it's described.
Everyone in this group has at least made an effort to not offend others. Everyone tries to be respectful to each other but at the same time there HAS to be a limit as to what isn't acceptable. Especially if there's an event dedicated to allowing all criminal activity.
So by all means, be upset with me over the fact that i was honest about how unfair the triggering warning thing gets in a show dedicated to being offensive and triggering. At least I WAS honest.
So if you want to kick me out of the group, look down upon me or think that I'm insensitive please go right ahead.
And just for the record, yes I /also/ have PTSD and have had a shit life and deal with a lot of struggles. I am legally on disability for the things that happened in the past in my life and I am aware that these things can be a struggle. But if you literally set yourself up for failure by actively being involved in a community dedicated to the things that upset you? Then maybe you should think more clearly about what you expect from yourself and the community. The issue didn't go away just by putting a warning up. Goodness knows I've seen and heard enough of this from people to be this irritated. ))
