wait

can we elaborate on "specific noncon kinks" and how they're being indulged via these overinvested mod NPCs-slash-OCs? that sounds wild

only if we're not going to pearl clutch about dark kinks in a horror-smut game, because that's just dumb.

i promise

i'm only interested if it's something like a surprise announcement that all wedding receptions include cannibalism

close. it was forced egg laying and impregnation. "if u participated in npc orgy x time ago, surprise ur character's been pregnant the whole time"

chuds hate everything, people need to stop humoring the culture war and let them set the tone of media discussion

a story's selling point shouldn't be "see this because alt right grifters hate it" especially when disney uses that as a marketing strategy

sorry WHAT

if it were an optional surprise consequence i would raise an eyebrow and leave it at that, but this sure doesn't sound like it was optional.
and forced pregnancy is a major no-go for a ton of people.

no, that was not the plot twist. if you participated in one specific part of the orgy, aka your character fucked one very specific npc, then your character developed the ability to impregnate others with eggs during a narrow window of time the following month, which could be played for kink or horror depending on player preference. or you could choose not to have your character fuck anyone, and no one in your character's cr circle would end up carrying eggs. the orgy event included a specific warning that fucking that npc would result in noncon body horror the following month.

the mods are trying to balance providing adequate trigger warnings with not wanting to spoil upcoming plot details. they missed the mark here and acknowledged it, as far as i can tell.

hey anon

opting out by not playing in the game isn't a real opt out

Re: STAR WARS

lbr they wouldn't need to use that kind of strategy if the thing they were selling was worthwhile. it's a red flag for reasons that have nothing to do with chuds; good media featuring female/poc leads, lgbt characters, feminist ideas, etc. don't need to advertise with those things because the selling point is it's exciting/good and you'll want to watch it. even under the star wars umbrella, andor is good counterexample (and the SW content level disney should be aspiring to as opposed to crappy fanservice)

this player is toxic on main about other people constantly, the people who get the most smut from them just ignore it because rpers will gladly enable shitlord behavior as long as the shitlord's dispensing fun for them

da here, it was technically optional but it wasn't handled well. the mods did warn heavily for a surprise consequence that would involve body horror if characters chose to have sex with the game's main NPC. the problem was that there was no mention of pregnancy or eggs in that CW. a good handful of players have pregnancy on their hard no list

a lot of people complained once the consequences were revealed and the mods apologized. the mods were responsive to crit afaik

what i did think was strange is that there's a noncon/dubcon heavy event coming up that some players are concerned about, and in the mod plurk, they said: "We're always willing to explicitly spoil things privately for anyone who reaches out with concerns that a CW treads close to a personal trigger. So if something feels vague to you, and you're not sure how to respond, please just hit us up on mod contact or in DM and we'll talk it through with you. There's no reason to sit there in uncertainty and stress about it when you can just ask for more information because it's adjacent to something that upsets you!"

a great policy but that has not "always" been the case as players did publicly ask for more information on the pregnancy adjacent themes as that was unfolding and they were turned away to avoid spoilers

do you enjoy putting words in stranger's mouths. is that your kink

literally all you had to do was not engage in the one prompt that said "engaging with this one prompt will result in noncon body horror next month." there were other prompts you could have responded to. your options aren't only noncon body horror or don't play the game. be serious.

it makes them go away for you, so... no one's going to tag them if they can't read the room anyway, just block and move on
