The "issue" of tagging/not-tagging has been debated quite a bit in the RP groups that I've been a part of. How tagging posts usually gets brought up is like this:
I read something, it has subject that disturbs me. Â Discussion of rape/child abuse/domestic violence/ etc.
I then ask the person writing it (or all people that contribute to the site) to please start tagging things.
People say "I don't get the big deal, why should we have to tag, the site doesn't have any rules about it!"
I sigh and stop reading the site entirely.
A very smart person once said, in relation to tagging potential trigger warnings:
If you are standing on my foot and I ask you to please stop because you are hurting me, the correct response is "Oh! Â Sorry!" and to move your foot. Â It is not "My foot has every right to be there, I don't know why you're being so sensitive!"
