Okay guys. Here we go. I know I’m immediately going to start fires with this but whatever. Trigger Warnings and Content Warnings. No. Stop it. These are harmful, not helpful. If you search up on Google whether TWs and CWs are helpful, you will see 98% of RESEARCH articles saying that they are actually harmful. If you must, use Content Warnings. For the sake of this being Scratch, do what I’m suggesting below instead. Content Warnings are not for things like capital letters. It is for things like abuse, harassment, SA, R***, etc. If you go on the internet, there are some things you just can’t avoid encountering, such as capital letters. When you decide to open up Scratch, you should know you’ll see this. Caps are not always yelling, you should know this, too. So one thing I suggest is to use CWs for ACTUALLY SERIOUS things. And some of these are allowed in the RP. You need to be aware of this. The internet is inherently not a safe place. Caps are not for showing emotion all the time, we should use tone tags instead. If you don’t know what tone tags are, please look up a list and familiarize yourself with them! We need to be mindful of people with PTSD ATHAT
