EVALUATE MY BATTLING!

TRAINER TIPS:
→ This is encouraged, not mandatory. We will not penalize you for not using it.
→ Feel free to link your personal HMDs if you would like, just in case someone doesn't want to use the mass HMD post.
→ this is more for actual critique and discussion. Please don't just blindly praise a person or just call them horrible. If someone's doing a wonderful job, you can tell them, just tell them why, or even where they're showing off bonus perks. If someone's doing a not-so-wonderful job, tell them why, give them things to improve on if you can. Examples, links, things that can give them something to work on. Meaning, no bashing, flaming, or nasty behavior. Please keep it civil.
→ Anonymous is turned on! But note: anonymous is a privilege, not a right. If it's being abused to bash players, please be sure to let one of us know and we'll step in or freeze threads if necessary. If anonymous is abused too much, it will be turned off for the next HMD.
→ Don't take this all too personally! Remember that roleplay is a game, and crit is supposed to help, not make you feel horrible. No one is perfect, we've all got room to improve. Please keep that in mind.

this isn't something like "i'm ~TRIGGERED~ by peanuts because i have a peanut allergy!" and various other things that have made people distrustful of a lot of trigger warnings to begin with; this is child abuse, which is something that at least some of the members of the comm may have experienced, it's a highly triggery subject and i have no idea why this wasn't made opt-in.

the problem i have with it isn't that it's being played out, it's that it's putting a lot of pressure on people for whose characters it would be OOC to not respond to it if it's broadcast to the network at large, but the player may be severely triggered by the material itself. the way it's set up isn't as easy to avoid as you seem to think it is.

nothing of value to add here, just that these are my feelings on it too.

For fucks sake, what were you guys thinking? Did you think at all?

y u p what the other two anons said

i don't think it's going to break the game or anything but just the fact it's basically an hour long video being publicly broadcast and is pretty much torture porn (thankfully not in any real detail, but to anyone who watched the damn thing it would be?) is kind of irking?

it's one thing to have the aftermath of a thing like this posted where the kid would be battered and bruised and need help but having the whole thing broadcast?

i mean we've had people get near death scenario'd and traumatized before by tarantulus back in the day, but those never forced the encounter on the entire network

also in addition the fact the player is asking him to just kind of get off from this scott-free is kind of stupid?

if this kind of thing is going to play out and be public it's extremely unrealistic to expect no one at all to check the jails in goldenrod to see if he got arrested. especially if there's going to be a police bulletin up about him ffs

basically as has already been pointed out, this seems really poorly planned and should have been a opt-in thing

I thought it was opt in. Seemed that way when it was pitched on the plotting meme and CR memes a while back.

well, i meant opt-in in the sense that 'reply here if you want to be involved and it will be made as such that only these characters will have to directly deal with it' kind of way

idk if there is a better shorthand to get that across outside of opt-in but it felt like the right term at the time
