In need of some Female Miqot'e for some RP. (Balmung)

[Nebbs]

 

Why?

 

Why not, it costs nothing and it benefits all to be clear on a thread that may have sensitive content.

 

So simple tags make things unambiguous.

 

Well, okay...but there's no sensitive content in this thread.

 

Good I'm glad we are ok

If you need threads with this kind of themes labeled, you may want to ask Square Enix to label quests and zones where NPCs talk, because exactly the same themes are included in the text of the game.

 

Please, do get a grip

 

WoD roleplaying communities tag shit.  That argument doesn't hold any water.

 

So since someone else does it, then we must as well?

 

I'm afraid your "argument" (airquotes mandatory, as you don't really have one) is the one that doesn't hold any water, my good sir.

What I said isn't that hard to understand.  Much the same as adding emoticons to your post doesn't make your response any less passive aggressive or annoying.

 

I'll spell it out for you.

 

Your argument is that because there's sexual themes in XIV, there's no call for us, as a community, to tag posts that contain graphic sexual or violent content that might upset someone.

 

I'm telling you that there's plenty of other settings out there that dive much deeper into these themes, yet the people who play in them have the good grace to tag their stuff so they don't upset anyone.  It's a very common thing these days.  People usually call them trigger warnings.  Being considerate of others isn't hard.

They do?  I admit that it's been a while since I've LARP'd or TT'd VtM or it's associated games (though I certainly miss WtA and MtA), but I don't recall anyone tagging shit.  The setting itself is incredibly dark and violent and, quite frankly, vile, if you read the source material.  What communities are you talking about anyway?

 

Forum roleplays are what I'm referring to.  There's other examples, such as fanfiction archives and the like.

Oh I didn't say it was hard to understand. As a matter of fact I understood it perfectly the first time. I said (not in so many words) that it's silly and an entirely invalid argument. 

 

"others do it so we must do it as well" isn't an argument. It's simple as that. 

 

No one here or anywhere else on the forum (to my knowledge) has gone anywhere beyond what we see and read every day from NPCs in the game. There's no need to pander to oversensitiveness from people that seem to have no problem with exactly the same things in the game

That isn't what Fenrir is saying.

The content of this thread has travelled very far from the source.

So do you gain anything by being this stubbornly inconsiderate, other than being spared having to type an extra couple words?

I think his argument was more that there's no graphic content in this thread, so why would it need a label?

 

The people you'd want to "label" their posts are unlikely to read this thread anyway.  But if the forum owners decide that it's needed, I'm sure people will do it.

 

 

 

 

 

Forum roleplays are what I'm referring to.  There's other examples, such as fanfiction archives and the like.

 

But this isn't fanfiction, and it isn't RP.  This was a setup for RP in the game world, not on the forums.  There's no graphic content in this thread at all.  I don't understand why you would feel it needs to be labeled.

I'm still trying to understand what was so terrible about the posts in this thread that people feel that it needs to be "labeled" because the faint of heart might get upset.  What is there to be upset about in this thread?  Sure, there's innuendo - but none of it is blatant, and the situation was eventually explained.

Nebbs' post never said it should be applied to this thread.  I never said it, either.

 

But the tagging idea was brought up, and that's simply what I was arguing for.

Nebbs specifically said she didn't think it should be applied.  You, however, didn't say that.

 

I think this might better be brought up (for the sake of clarity and also because it doesn't exactly fit in with the conversation in this thread, which was about recruiting for specific RP, not labeling threads) in a separate thread.  What do you think?

So?

 

And you're probably right.
