Furthermore, from what I've read, it is actually harmful to overly protect post-trauma victims from "triggering" material

That's true. In fact attempts to shield traumatized people from this or that content are almost always hilariously naive, pathetic even. Seeing a big sign saying "there's no excessively violent content here, we removed it all" is for many people just as bad as seeing the excessively violent conent. It furtherly reinforces their feeling of being psychologically "scarred" and different and denies them ability to face it and attempt to develop a healthy reaction to such content.


People who write shocking rps can think of adding a warning on top of their rp and perhaps players can be informed upon joining BM of the possibility of being confronted with all kinds of shocking things.
Because BM is a sandbox game and the context is all player based, which is for many of us the beauty of BM.
We shouldn't meddle with that.

Yep.
