Faolyn, I am a non-woke liberal. That doesn't make me a conservative or right wing.

Like that will stop our friend here. His whole stance is “I don’t care about other people”. Short of mod intervention, this is his thread to endlessly whine. Yay, trolls.I guess just start a new one, and include the line "this thread isn't to debate as to whether or not these safety tools are bad."
Which "hypothetical" of mine are you citing? Can you be specific or would that require reading the posts?Your case appears to be that it doesn't provide you the information you personally want, based on a completely hypothetical reason.
The GM can't be responsible for what they don't know.

Just based on the wisdom I've gained being alive four decades, it isn't an idea I can get behind.
No, I am saying there are two groups of people A) people with real mental health issues and B) people who are following a social script for other reasons.
This is just the equivalent of saying "I've been around the block and seen a few things, and this is a familiar pattern to me". It is not a proof, nor is it a formal argument, but it is a perfectly reasonable opinion to express. People don't have to share it, and people can say "he seems unreliable, I don't trust his conclusion". But there is nothin wrong, when we are all looking at the same phenomena and giving our opinion of it, to say this is what it looks like to me. At a certain point we have to factor in things like our intuition, our own experience in reaching conclusion. It isn't all syllogisms.That's a form of Appeal to Authority. It doesn't hold rhetorical water.
Proof? I've been alive longer than you. So, do you accept that my wisdom must therefore be greater, and I am right and you are wrong? No? Good, you shouldn't. But you should then realize that your age is not relevant, either.

And here, we are off the rails. Unnamed, uncounted, unknown people are lying about their mental health issues, and you cannot prove it, but you know it to be true... should be a basis for policy at tables in general? That doesn't fly as an argument. There's no substance, only shadows of fear.

You are you. We cannot and should not argue that you don't know what is best for you. These tools make you uncomfortable? Don't use them, and ask GMs you work with not to use them with you. But as others should respect your choice in that matter, you should respect theirs. If you want others to accept how you actually know what's best for you, you need to actually accept that they know their own needs better than you do.
There is no way this can be proven. It isn't that kind of observation. I am watching new behavior sweep through the gaming community and I think it is entirely fair to say whether I think the behavior is genuine or not (and to base that on my experience of people). It isn't an academic paper. It isn't scientific. I am not claiming that. But we can all clearly see this change occurring. I am not pointing to something that isn't actually happening. And a lot of us are skeptical of the genuineness of it (and of whether it is healthy thing for us to be embracing). You can say it is off the rails. I think it is reasonable.
And yet you've spent four hours and three dozen posts arguing against itI have no issue with live and let live.

My point exactly. Perhaps one that ask relevant questions & doesn't make bob or susan look me in the eye while I take notes? I'm really confused about the massive pushback against such things.If only there was some kind of form that could be filled out to give the GM an idea...
To then also make sweeping generalisations about the members of our community based on personal anecdotes is unfair, in my view, as is making unfounded assumptions based on sweeping generalisations.There is no way this can be proven.
