[QUOTE="Panda-s1, post: 7822463, member: 59554"] haha. see this is why it's hard to take your argument seriously. everyone else is talking about how this affects them locally, or how this might affect their own game. there's even some discussion of the broader issues this system might cause. but so far you're the only person implying there's an ulterior motive to this argument, that [I]somehow [/I]people are actually trying to make gaming less safe. what? no one arguing in favor of the x-cards is saying there's a conspiracy to make gamers feel uncomfortable all the time, unless you're conflating that with people saying gaming culture up until recently has been toxic, but it's hard to call that a conspiracy when there's a long history of stories about harassment and worse in gaming communities. considering some of the things already said in this thread, the only things I can think of that could possibly lock this thread at this point is either 1) something angry against the mods or this website or 2) you honestly and unabashedly believe in some pretty horrid or bigoted stuff that informs your argument, which again does not help your case in my book. yeah, hello? the x-card is not for these young players who "had never even considered certain concepts". the x-card is for players who have considered certain disturbing concepts in a [I]very intense manner [/I]that they may not want to revisit when they sit down to enjoy a game for the next few hours. they've already had life come at them from left field and turned what they knew upside down, and you can bet there was no x-card. they faced a dragon, and it definitely wasn't in game. maybe you're cool for helping these young players out, but you're never a hero for making someone have a panic attack.
