Re: ADSTRINGENDUM

No one can handle that imagery. There is literally no one that I have ever met who looks at animal torture and walks away whistling a happy tune. It's one of the most common types of shock images disgusting people use for that reason. Claiming that as a reason why it MUST be someone in the game who knows her well enough to be on her private plurk and know her super secret trigger (that the majority of people share) is a big stretch.

I don't have a horse in this race, but...you need to meet more people. I know people who don't flinch at animal torturing--they're the ones doing the torturing, for one. And I've met a few purely apathetic folks, as well. Not everyone is going to react to gore and violence.

I... try not to get to know animal torturers? All I'm saying is that animal torture is an incredibly common trigger, man, and claiming that only someone who knows her really well could possibly know she wouldn't like pictures of animals being tortured is nonsensical.

I'm not endorsing a witch-hunt either, and I don't know if it's someone in the game or not, but it does seem pretty personal since she's the only one getting harassment when all the old mods seemed to have been about equally hated from what I got out of the fiasco right before they stepped down.

There's a limited amount of things that can be done even if they're caught, but I still hope the fucker is outed as the disgusting garbage they are.

Again, no horse in this race, so your point could very well stand. If she actually lets her fears known publicly, then her assailant could be anyone. But if she only let a few people actually know about this trigger, then it does narrow down the list of suspects. Unless those people have loose lips, anyway.

And terrifyingly, you might know more torturers than you think you do, but that's neither here nor there.

Honestly, I don't have much of a horse in this race either, I just don't like seeing the entire game tarred with the same brush when it could easily have been someone outside the game. Witch hunts are never effective or good. I have no idea how many people might have known about her trigger, but like I've said before, it's an extremely common one and there isn't much reason to assume that they were using private information to harass her. Even if we *were* assuming that, that narrows it down to 'people on Sara's plurk', not 'people in Adstring'. There are lots of people in Adstring not on her plurk, like me.

I agree that it's not indicative of the game, and I don't think it's fair to say 'Ads is a horrible game because of this one person,' but it also does leave a pretty bad impression, imo.
