HELO friends and foes and fiends and hoes. (as an ex-ho i know a ho when i see one.) 

i'm hosting this TRAUMATIC/EROTIC GAME JAM cuz i'm sick and tired of seeing "no nsfw" on all these jams i wanna enter my "mysterious, beautiful, and definitely fucky" trauma games to. i getcha that ppl r trying to weed out Hen Ties (i will also remove entries that are, ahem, erotic...without the traumatic) BUT i will not remove games that are more about the trauma than the eros, so to speak.

THIS IS A GAME JAM SPECIFICALLY FOR SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE. 
(particularly ones that ended up being kinda odd ducks.)

if you are not a survivor of sexual violence, kindly piss off.

you can submit any game you've made at any time, it doesn't have to be made during this timeframe. you can submit as many games as you'd like.

please use trigger warnings if you feel comfortable to do so. but i also understand a big part of obfuscating the truth...is because it is too cruel to fucking Explicate it. so, for my sake, i will understand if you choose to use them or not. i understand implicitly that all the traumatic vent work will be about an exceedingly harsh reality. so, i will not enforce trigger warnings, because the nature of this jam is that every content will be triggering.

i'm makin this mostly for myself so i can ~COLLECT THEM ALL~ (the type of vent games i desperately want to play to feel less alone in the world but do not know how to seek out)

this is, like, an anthology of sorts. if you made it to the end of readin all this, and you have a qualifying game you wanna contribute, consider this offer from me to "buy you a coffee" and pay contributors (through a valid paypal address) $5. i can spare that much, though i ain't flush either. 

so, to reiterate, any qualifying contributor gets $5 for submitting (with a valid paypal address)

TO QUALIFY:

1. you must be a sexual violence survivor/victim
2. your game must be regarding some form of trauma
3. *your game must reference sex explicitly in some way

*for that third point, your game doesn't have to have people fuckin on screen, but it has to reference sex so explicitly that it would disqualify it from a jam that disqualifies nsfw, regardless of its intention to titillate

DISQUALIFIERS:

1. i ain't gonna tolerate any predatory shit that encourages/promotes/endorses pedophilia/rape/incest/drugging/kidnapping or anything like that, regardless where it's coming from. fuck off with that shit. this isn't to say that your work can't have these as trigger warnings / content warnings, but i don't want anything that ENCOURAGES rape or the rape of children in any way shape or form.
2. it's just an erotic game, no trauma
3. you aren't a survivor. this is goin by the honor system but if my instinct says smth stinks i'm using my own discretion. by god, 5 fucking dollars and 0 prestige ain't worth lying and hurting hoes like me.
4. it's just a trauma game, but not about sexual violence, and there's no reference to sex. i get where ur coming from, but this is a sexual violence themed jam

i ain't around enough to moderate a discord server but you can find my contact on my website if ya need anythin. even and especially if you need to talk. i've been through a lot, and i want to help others who are going through it, too. part of creating this game jam is to help people feel less alone. specially in an english-speaking culture that prioritizes the comfort of predators over the lives of survivors. 

i love you! i mean that. if u've made it thru any form of sexual violence, i love you, and im glad you're alive.
