[QUOTE="Vince_Snetterton, post: 8463375, member: 7033114"] My take on content warnings is a little different than yours. As I have said in the past days, yes, I now agree, content warnings for ALL sources of canon are now necessary. BUT, I want them there to warn away ANYONE who is in the slightest bit queasy with I am guessing is 50-100 triggers in the D&D universe, from ever picking up a D&D book, or even think about dabbling in the game. What these warnings SHOULD do is say "Look, if you have any phobias, any concepts that makes you uncomfortable in the real world, D&D is NOT the game for you, because some day you will encounter one." Now, is that realistic? Not many business models work by saying "This product might f*** you up, you should not buy it". Of course, there are who knows how many movies, books, video games that do that very thing. But I guess they cater to a smaller consumer base. Do you think that the Brandywine producers said "Errr...Ridley, can you and Dan and Geiger make Alien a little less scary? We think some of those scenes will trigger people." WOTC has obviously decided against the business model I have described. We all know where Hasbro and WOTC is going with the D&D franchise, and it sure is not in the direction of Alien. But of course, the Library of Congress won't be deeming a Pokemon movie as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and preserving it in the US National File Registry either, as they did with Alien.
