[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 8460674, member: 18182"] You aren't trolling? Your posting style suggest otherwise, but I'll have to take you at your word. [USER=15700]@Sacrosanct[/USER] exploring the use of warning labels on his own product does not lead to demanding that other publishers do the same. [USER=15700]@Sacrosanct[/USER] can only control their own products, even if they openly ask for feedback on the boards. Their choices do not dictate what others should do. You keep advocating for an [I]all or nothing[/I] approach to this, but you're alone on that stance (at least in this discussion thread). However, I'm sure you are aware, but WotC already IS using warning labels! All of their "classic" digital products (pre-5th Edition) have a general content warning on the store page. In WotC's view, not every one of these titles necessarily has problematic content, but enough of them do that a blanket warning is appropriate ([I]and easier than more specific warnings on specific products[/I]). On WotC's current titles, they are working hard to ensure these products don't need warning labels at all. They haven't been fully successful at that, and have gone back and edited products after publication to remove problematic elements. They've apologized publicly for their missteps, but haven't put any warning labels on the current products. How well their choices have addressed the content in their products . . . is subjective.
