Thanks for clarifying, OP, I understand and think you have a very good point!
I admit it was mostly the unanon player's comparison to RL triggering situations and implication that playing out such material in 'IC Public' at ALL was somehow like dealing with a triggering situation right outside the bedroom door and being unable to get away with it that spurred me to comment. It was... very, very upsetting to me.
I wasn't planning on getting involved in this discussion at all originally, but reading that felt sort of like a slap in the face and, I felt, crossed some serious lines when it comes to this debate about the original post being problematic.
You, the OP, have some very reasonable arguments that I don't see any problem with at all.
