[QUOTE="Warpiglet, post: 7380825, member: 6689161"] That is very true. And what I cannot tolerate in a game is someone saying they are "triggered" by a different point of view. I understand they might be upset, but I generally hold the direct experience of trauma (to self or the unexpected threat of serious harm/risk to someone close to the individual) to be categorically different than differing opinions about the right kind of government, division of wealth or whatever. Of course that is why I steer clear of and avoid playing with people who make this stuff the topic of the night. I play D&D to get away from this nonsense. Of course if that is what the group wants to do and I am an outlier, I know who needs to walk. I own my own stuff. But more to the point, I don't play with weirdos. Well, I am sure we are weird, but I DO NOT need graphic discussion of sex, sexual abuse/assault or sadism in game. On that end I don't think most people have to worry so long as they play with a reasonably mature group. Thus, my definition of being triggered probably skews to the absurd since such obvious things don't and won't come up in one of my games to begin with. Yuck already. Or the extra creepy super drawn out hitting on other player's characters...just no. Yes, you ARE going to creep the other person out... [/QUOTE]
