Content Warnings

[if...]

Hopefully these can be toggled off. I have no need for wuss alarms.

[Bazzy]

I honestly wonder what they even could be? Flashing lights and seizure stuff maybe? I hope to god they didn't do some stupid jumpscare horror crap or other stuff that would need them...

[I_am_a_great_magician]

I'm hoping it's a warning for flashing lights or something like that, not some kind of misguided "trigger warning."

[The Mayonnaise Man]

i hope they make fun of "content warnings"

[C]

wow, guys... you seem, dare I say, triggered?

[Sunsetter]

There's content warnings and there's snowflake pandering.
Hopefully it's not the latter.

The first are intended for normal people, the second is for Twatter simpletons looking for something to get offended by 24/7.

Obviously it's an options menu thing you can turn on if you want, good thing they did a content warning for content warnings since you needed to be warned about content warnings

TRIGGER ALERT:

you have to hold w sometimes

Okay, yes, very good. You deserve a gold star. But what is physically different between the two types of content warnings you posted about? Do they say different things? Do they marr the intended gaming experience? Is the game changed in any way for you, The Gamer?

I won't know until I try the game, but it's certainly a red flag. First it's trigger warnings, then it's neopronouns, then it's removing gender altogether (maybe not in this game, but you get my point) because the words male and female are just too damn offensive.

[raspberrisung]

yeah man i'd hate if anyone's time playing the game was improved too

[Cunning Condor]

Allergy information on food is for wusses too, yeah.

[Kandarihu]

Allergy information is for people who actually have allergic reactions to something. That said, they are promising that they are preserving the tone of the original, so I honestly doubt that they would do something offensive in the ways the original game wasn't. If they are going to be adding content warnings, I'm going to assume they are going to be opt-in parodies of content warnings, and perhaps even have content warnings of parts that we are already familiar with.

a normal content warning would be something like: this game has flashing lights so if you are at risk for seizures don't play this game

a modern day twitter content warning would be: this game uses hurtful language including but not limited to: obese, man, and woman and has scenes featuring but not limited to a loving single father and the women depicted in this game have flaws
