thanks!

it's ok, worrying about us is useless because you don't know what our brains will associate with the trauma.
I like my media gory, grim  sexual and realistic, and the fact that I survived abuse only makes the abuser's punishment more satisfying at times.
One of my triggers is the sound of kisses. Would anyone, ever, assume that's what triggers me? no.

I can assure you other trauma survivors also learned to live with their own triggers at some point. Humans adapt and survive, it's our natural feat.

The warnings you're using are ok, people will always complain no mater how well you do it, so just do it.

As a person who deals with CPTSD, I can tell you that triggers are an extremely personal thing, it could be something as inocuos as a word (not even a curse or a slur, a REGULAR word) or an image. Sometimes flashbacks come back due to agression but that means agression from the REAL world, not a game or any media that's stablished as fantasy. Of course, some subjects are upseting even for people without heavy traumas.
People became obsessed with them back in the day when virtue signaling in the internet started catching on, and now we see it everywhere, it comes out as infantilizing sometimes. Like, age ratings already exist.
I personally don't believe in them, if you are playing a war game, you are OBVIOUSLY going to encounter violent situations, if you are playing a horror game, of course there will be upseting stuff, certain black comedy productions contain themes that have "triggered" me but I just don't watch them, and I don't think it should be the responsibility of the creators to look after my feelings. How are they even going to know that somewhere, PinUpCitizen is having flashbacks to her ex husband? they're not omnipresent! I don't think I have ever encounter a useful trigger warning besides the jumpscare (hate those things) and bright lights ones.

Regardless, we live in a society, so you'll have to use them wether they're useful or not.

I just started publishing a comic here, you can add it if you want

Can Oaktree escape the obsessive love of this mysterious eldritch creature?
