Im trying to coin a new phrase and I want some input. Since we dont even have to have actually experienced something to then later become triggered by it, what rolls off the tongue better; TRIGGERED by proxy or TRIGGERED adjacent? @Ben No.3: Yep, imo, Ecological collapse will be mankind's final undoing. Your great-grandchildren will stave to death long before climate issues have chance to kill them.

"Waa, youre a poopy head for having different opinions on matters." There, there. Back to movie ratings. Why do you suppose there are ages related to the ratings? Because we assume that as people age, they become more able to handle the slings and arrows of fictional stories or recreations. G = No cursing PG = No nudity R = No penetration Not: "Hey, someone you know got crapped on and this movie shows someone getting crapped on, so beware.

Arent movie rating specifically gated by age? See, at a certain age that we are consider adults (18 in the US) and thus able to view whatever we choose.

How finely granulated should this consideration be? If even one person has an issue? 5? 10? Oh boy, I see we have completely departed from grownup conversation. Maybe go take a timeout and cool off? Probably better if we just agree to disagree. And for the rest, please, for the love of your god, DO NOT go watch the Punisher trailer I posted in the other thread. Don't need people evacuating their bowels due to fictional depictions of blood, face punching, gun shooting, and knife...knifing.

I cant actually parse that TN but I can tell youre upset. Let me try a different angle...everything is not one or zero. You see this image: Its a fire warning. This type of warning is good. Having to post a warning about every possible trauma, which if not posted will result in ABJECT TERROR (), is dumb. Heres a few more good ones to help out those that need it: water can drown you, fire can burn you (see above), electricity can electrocute you, falling from height can break bones, don't eat yellow snow and its dark outside when your location on Earth has rotated away from the sun. All of these examples are totes legit issues people can and do have. Ill try to think up some more when I have time.

If people need trigger warnings about works of FICTION, then thats on them. But I am magnanimous so I would like to inform you that the bogeyman in not under your bed. Or in your closet.

*Warning - This play contains graphic violence* is the solution to fight or flight panic mode that said play would induce? Wowwee wow wow. If that is the state that people operate in then honestly I just pity them. That's not to far from being legitimately mentally challenged.

You did WHAT...?!
Im dismayed that my trials and tribulations are a source of humor to you barbarians. I could rattle off a dozen such instances but I would never be believed. Its situation like I describe that formed me into a person that would always say yes to women throwing themselves at me. Well, unless they were ugly. Its only through iron determination, and being married, that allowed me the strength to say "NO! I AM NOT YOUR MANWHORE!"

No. I took her home too. I wear ribbons of shame.

For shame Al2O3, sexual assault is never funny. And Im not even going to mention that time a girl planted a kiss on me out of the blue and stuck her tongue in my mouth! Oh crap, now look what you made me do.

Ydwin to return in the expansion?
Gfted1 replied to Folie a deux's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Sure am. Oh noes! Feel free to return if you come up with conversation that doesn't involve calling other poster masturbatory weirdos.

Ydwin to return in the expansion?
Gfted1 replied to Folie a deux's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)We appreciate your insight, but as far as I am concerned, calling other posters a "weirdo" is a personal insult. Address the posts, not the posters. Everyone wins!

Gfted1 replied to Folie a deux's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Four seperate references to "fap" by one poster in the same thread. Impressive. However, please refrain from personal insults.

One time back in the day, I was walking through a bar and some random girl stepped in front of me and grabbed my junk. I wound up taking her home. #scarsneverheal

Poor Venezuela, they cant even collapse in peace. Has it also turned into a hotbed of Islamic terrorism?
