To answer a few dangling questions:1: The (+) means that I wanted to discuss this with likeminded people to find solutions to the problems I presented. What I did not want to do was endlessly debate whether they were problems at all... the point was that they are problems to me and my players and that I was specifically asking about potential solutions for my specific problems. Hence, the (+). Did it work? Well... you tell me?2: Different folks have different traumas, different anxieties, different triggers, and varying degrees of sensitivity to all of those. This is an undeniable fact of the human condition. For example: after my partner had a child, she was no longer able to at all, in any way, deal with even fictional accounts of children in peril. This is not about whether it's "okay" for cannibal hags to eat children in an adventure, but that it definitely won't fly at my table. This is just one example.3: If you're trying to be respectful of the above fact, classifying these issues as either a sensitivity "problem" or as an issue of "maturity" is 100% not the way to go about it. It's insulting, demeaning, and also demonstrably false.</blockquote>
