Message: <blockquote data-quote="Xarlen" data-source="post: 590055" data-attributes="member: 1060">I went a step ahead and showed the player this thread.First, she says that, Ironicly, Kahua Burger's post says what she wants to say. It turns out she lost a sibling this way, and a nephew/niece.She commented that I simply Don't know the statistics. That it's not 1-10 women who are raped, but 1-3, and she thinks this figure is Optimistic, since 90% of rapes are not reported.20% of pregnancies results in miscarriage.I had... No Idea. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> I've never even SEEN these statistics.And, I will agree with her that everyon here seems to think that any feeling from the game, ANY feeling is good. No. It's not. Yes, it makes a DM tingle when they creep their characters out after or uring a good Horror game. The current plot has them looking over their shoulder, or they want to Kill the villain with every ounce f their being. That they hate this NPC, that they want to Save this NPC for no other reason then they care. YES. These are what DMs Live for. This I accomplished with a villain who destroys the earth with Blight Magic, just to cast spells. They want him stopped at no cost.But if you offend a player, if you touch on a nerve and hit them too hard, if you do somethig that makes them feel Bad about the situation, want to get Away from it, then no, that isn't constructive. It's like John Swift's A Modest Proposal. You're going to offend and sicken a lot of people, and that isn't going to be very good. You don't Want to offend or scar or hurt your players. I would hope that an author or film-maker would not seek to do this with their audiance. Make them drawn into the story, not avoid it like the plague.</blockquote>
