So you consider content warnings are a challenge?
Nope, it's very clear there is no commitment to remain in a situation you are uncomfortable with, in fact there is a very clear indication that you should remove yourself from such situations.
How you can read "You are accepting that if you have an issue with anything in the game it’s on you to excuse yourself from the scene or game with minimal disruption to everyone else at the table." as a commitment to remain at the table?

At the very least, we need to keep discussing this specific incident until either absolutely everyone knows not to let this guy run public games, or until there is a genuine apology that indicates he understands he did something very wrong, why it was very wrong to do, and why he did it.

Personally I'm not finding anything reasonable in all this matter, not sure why a supposed (contradictory reports) rape in a roleplaying game for ages of 18+ escalates to news because someone was distressed and why people instead of talking to the GM prefers twitter. Perhaps I'm very rare, in any case I don't think this will help the hobby and would have preferred if those people only played their safe games in their sanitized environment.Pretty bold statement. I feel perhaps someone should be reasonably able to go and play some RPGs with some strangers without being made to feel like trash. Maybe thats just me?
