<Snipped quote by Takashi>

I'm triggered by you mentioning the words "trigger warnings" you fker.

Ugh, you insensitive mysoginist, you just had to say "trigger warnings" now I'm triggered

The more I stick around the more I see that I was right. The predecessor DID determine the mood of the outcome.

Are you triggered, Blue? LOL

I don't even understand triggering - I already said that. I'm just saying it's not nice to make fun of others, even if it makes you feel edgy.

We ain't doing it to be edgy, we're doing it for kicks and laughs since we all find triggering and SJWs to be absurd realistically.

If you really dislike it that much, just don't go OOC for a bit and then knowing this RP, it'll be buried under a page or two of other OOC stuff within a few hours. Simple stuff ya know.

I don't even know what SJW is. Bullying is bullying.

-Besides, in a few hours it will be 5am...

We aren't even bullying anyone, blue lol

@Azaria Blue Umm, no one's trying to start anything?? ^^;
Here, this is the internet definition nowadays:
- Urban) A phrase posted at the beginning of various posts, articles, or blogs. Its purpose is to warn weak minded people who are easily offended that they might find what is being posted offensive in some way due to its content, causing them to overreact or otherwise start acting like a dipshit. Popular on reddit SRS or other places that social justice warriors (SJW) like to hang out.

Triggers are of course, as you say, serious. However, nowadays people are taking it to the extremes and saying "Ah! THat'S MY TRIGGER!" for a lot of things without thinking about the actual meaning. And it's happening a lot. Poking fun at that, not the actual trigger meaning which is:
anything, as an act or event, that serves as a stimulus and initiates or precipitates a reaction or series of reactions.

Urban dictionary:
A word used often by idiots on Tumblr to justify their bitchy attitudes, most of whom don't know what a real traumatic experience is.

So yes, triggers are things that pretty much bring back someone's traumatic experiences but you don't see much people on the internet actually saying trigger about that. So yeah. Anyways, i'm not trying to make you mad Blue! ^^

Okay, please tell me what you are doing because it sounded a whole lot like being mean.

As stated previously, its humor in the form of expressing out stance on a certain topic. One might even call it satire.

@sakurasan I'm actually not mad. I was upset that people were just casually making fun of other people. I didn't pick up on anything that was about over-the-topness it was just making fun of triggering in general. Or at least it seemed.

If you can see from my perspective:
-Knows triggered means that someone is hurt by hearing something (Read an article about a girl who would get terrible flashbacks to abuse when she would hear/see anything about faeces. I get that and understood that it was a personal problem for her)
-Sees people making fun of triggers
-Is asked to stay quiet while they continue

It feels a whole lot like bullying people who have had some pretty screwed up things happen to them which are the worst people to make fun of. Then being asked to be quiet while they continue - not exactly the most original bully's response.

I really don't keep up with social media and I'm starting to doubt leaving my bubble at all '-_- I think I'll go back to books and DND with my friends.

Edit: Though thank you for explaining it rather than just doubling down even if your souces seemed to have a little bias.

@Azaria Blue Pft. The urban one was full on bias xD But that's what the actual thing on the internet is nowadays, sadly. The second one was the actual definition that no one really uses anymore and spouts out random crap about how they're being triggered. But non non, we were pretty much just posting hilarious memes about them and I guess since people use trigger warnings on articles, joking about how they should be used? But anyways. Just forget all that and pay attention to this:

@sakurasan Hahahaha I remember that moment xD I don't even remember where I have seen it.

-Is asked to stay quiet while they continue

When and where, that's absolutely not true

Humor has to be derived from something, and sometimes people are going to be the butt end of a joke, that's life. You can call it being mean, you can call it bullying, but its not going to stop people from cracking those jokes. As the late and great Bruce Lee once said: "Be the water" Float down your personal stream, and if there are twigs, branches, logs, fertilizer in the way its your choice whether or not to absorb or flow around them. The easiest way to deal with something you dislike is to ignore it, you'll save a lot of energy that way. This OOC is no different, if we're cracking jokes in here that you don't like, start up a conversation with someone, check the chat for a few minutes, write a post, check up a different OOC. Whatever floats your boat. At the end of the day, a lot of the stuff we say is not meant to be offensive you can derive what you want from it of course, but... I'm trying to find the nicest way to say this, I'm not willing to change my sense of humor because one person doesn't find my jokes funny.

@Specter189 WHATCHA DOING SPEC?! THE POTATO APPLIED TO YOU AS WELL DAMMIT.

POTATO YAY! All worship the potato!

@Specter189 There is a big difference in comedy and bullying. Agging it on and targeting a specific audience is one way to find bullying which - once again - was easy to tell from this.

Clock
'If you really dislike it that much, just don't go OOC for a bit '

Could be aligned to
'If you're bothered by me hitting him, just look away'
or
'Just get to class this is none of your business'
when someone is being bullied in school.

And before you go bat shit crazy, yes I do get that it was not trying to bully people, it just seemed like that if you read the post I sent to sakura you may understand.

@Specter189 WHATCHA DOING SPEC?! THE POTATO APPLIED TO YOU AS WELL DAMMIT.

What!?! I was writing before you posted

@Specter189 If we're doing quotes now I'm sure I can find one or two about sitting by as things fall apart. To be honest I don't mind if helping someone else would make my life more difficult.

People are incredibly selfish it seems. So long as they aren't inconvenienced, who cares if someone else is hurt? They just care about themselves + their money.

@Azaria Blue This is not the place to be debating about this, and I would be careful about pointing fingers at people and accusing them of being utterly self centered with a callous regard to helping people
