Doesn't seem that fascinating to me. In real life, one's likelihood of being brutally murdered isn't that high. But the likelihood of being R-worded is uncomfortably high. Hence people's aversion to the subject. And it's a form of torture. I wouldn't be terribly happy playing a session where Steve the Rogue is going around torturing an entire family.
- dicktionary 5y ago> R-worded Raped. No need to bowdlerize it.
- Teever 5y agoWhy did you you use the term 'R-word' for the word 'rape but not 'T-word' for 'torture' or 'M-word' for 'murder'?
- LordDragonfang 5y agoThe glib response is that if you're trying to avoid triggering someone, I'd wager more people reading it have been raped than have been murdered.
- yeahr4579 5y ago> I'd wager more people reading it have been raped than have been murdered. Source?
- happysadpanda2 5y agoUmmm, murdered (dead) people probably can't read anymore, thus wouldn't be triggered? And a murder-victim-to-be still probably wouldn't be triggered, since s/he hasn't "experienced" it yet. That's how I interpreted the comment anyway :)
- lilSebastian 5y agoAre you suggesting these people are reading from beyond the grave?
- jhgb 5y ago> if you're trying to avoid triggering someone... ...then you probably won't succeed anyway, as triggers tend to be random associations.
