[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7824948, member: 22779"] So, let's say, three minutes into the first time the romance thing comes up between my character and another PC, I tap the X card. You're saying that everyone at the table would be so oblivious that they wouldn't be able to connect the dots? That I'd have to repeatedly do it because the players are, again, so completely oblivious, that they continue to pursue a romantic plot line with my character? That even after the second or even third time, they STILL wouldn't get it? I know that the stereotype of gamers is that we're an insensitive bunch, but, seriously? Because, now, I'm a bad player. I've seen repeatedly on these boards that players are NEVER allowed to say that. That any player who would refuse to engage something, particularly if that something was brought in by the DM, should be ejected from the group because they are being disruptive. The notion that as soon as I sit down at the table, I'm giving consent to whatever happens at that table and I can never take that consent away unless I get up and leave that table. THAT'S the toxic element that no one seems to want to acknowledge. I mean, [USER=6917357]@Phion[/USER] flat out states it: Why did you wear those clothes? Why did you go to that party? Why did you agree to have a drink with him? Why did you stay with your abuser? What's wrong with you? Is that clear enough? Is that enough examples to show why I might not want to actually have to talk about my issues but, rather, have an out that lets me bypass them without comment? [/QUOTE]
