Just finished book 3 :D

I started reading the series for the first time and I haven't put it down yet. I just started the parade of horribles yesterday!

goddamnit donut!

I wouldn't say it's active, it's been unused for the past month, and the latest book is still new.

Still, probably better that any new readers just go populate that one than start over.

I don't have a problem saying it. But you meet people where they are. Sensitive topics soils be treated as such, specially with compassion. Although you have a point, we should not assume that most victims would be in said headspace, when they're recovering

Do you also intend to cover The Dark Mod?

There is already an active community for this :)

Enjoy the ride!

Also being a generalist forum, and even rechecking .world's rules, there doesn't seem to be anything inherently wrong with the topic either. =)

Also I'd imagine that like with AI-related communities, people that don't like Microsoft's suite would leave the community alone.

What a timing, just started reading

Happy to see at least, through downvotes, some people enjoy it :p

I think it's mostly a reflex of uneasiness, but considering how hard it can be for a victim of sexual violence to come forth and whatever the gender or sexual orientation, it is simply inconcevable to refuse to hear their words. And yes, it's icky, it's a fucking hard topic to write or read about.

What I would advocate for is to (already done) display and pin informations toward helplines around the globe, and maybe soliciting the actual participation of these hotlines, if possible? Maybe some common education in how to receive and moderate communities with such difficult topics?

Did you know about !quake@lemmy.world ?

Over censorship is a growing problem in general. Words are being given too much power and weight.

People seem to slowly be losing their ability to tell the difference between a word used to harm and that same word used to discuss.

Look I'm going to be blunt, while I understand trigger words are a very real thing.

At some point I think trying to tip toe around words THAT hard starts to cause more harm then using the word in the first place.

There is a time and a place, and proper care needs to be excerised yes. But like... If all you ever do is move the word to another word your not protecting anyone from the trigger word your just creating new trigger words.

If you cant say rape in a medical, or psychological context and you pick something else instead you just create a mental link from the event to that new word. And now you have two trigger words instead of one.

Words should not be allowed to have that kind of power.

It's an autobattler game, sort of like Teamfight Tactics. The basic idea is that you buy items from the Bazaar's merchants and battle against other players' boards to try and get to 10 wins.

What is the bazaar?

For the lazy, like me: !thebazaar@lemmy.zip

Trigger word, basically. While you are correct, I think an "abuse survivor/victim support" is far more understandable and approachable. That's just my opinion though

👍

Thank you

Exactly ! Happy to see someone support the initiative.
