Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sunseeker" data-source="post: 7436306">Again, this is an odd sentiment.So, first, a Trans person would have to come out to you.And then request to have this ability.Isn't that a little...egocentric?  The disruption is "enabled" is already enabled by existing spells within the game.  What people can do with "Dominate Person" is far worse than the Blessing.  Why not simply address problem behaviour as exactly that?  Problem behaviour.  When Jimmy starts using the Blessing to be a POS, call him on it.  I'm sure BOTH of us, especially given the discussion in the harassment thread, understand that calling out problem behaviour is a better approach to solving the problem then cutting out one fairly minor optional element of the game that can be perfectly replicated with existing mechanics.Honest question: have there been any examples (say in this thread or one of its predecessors) indicating that the Blessing is drawing particular attention from that sort of person? This takes me back to Hussar's posts...why is sex and gender a "special social issue"?  And AGAIN you realize that the effects of the Blessing can be replicated with several spells already in the game.  AND there are spells that can accomplish worse that are already in the system?This is sort of like, referencing back to the harassment thread, saying that alcohol is a problem, but only removing Pabst Blue Ribbon because you think it's too associated with white trash.You're a little late to the party for that last part.  They're already enabled.</blockquote>
