i will admit that this should have been addressed during the formulation of the plot but i am admittedly kind of uncomfortable with the way the current caster thing is being handled
namely the fact that triggery material being broadcast over ICly public channels never goes over well. like if it were a private plot that was only between characters who had opted into it then i would have like zero problems. that setup would not put pressure on people who have close cr with robin or kiki but may want to stay out of it because they're uncomfortable with or triggered by the subject material. in that kind of situation, flocks and tws don't really help.
and i am not going to say "well this stuff should never happen in a game like this!" like i said, i am not against the idea of a private plot that touches this kind of material, and i recognize that it would be silly to say "well this character who canonically murders kids in really horrifying ways should never attack children."
like maybe caster could have directed the vid to robin only, and then robin could have contacted someone/a few someones who had opted in to be contacted. something along those lines.
i mean, i think a big chunk of the reason i'm concerned (outside of personal squicks) is that i've seen the fallout from a very similar scenario basically destroy another game. i personally do not have triggers related to this material but honestly i can definitely see how a plot like this would be difficult to avoid for those who do. i kind of doubt that would happen to route since route is way bigger than that game, but honestly i am just kind of getting uncomfortable flashbacks here.
