Enter the Void

Ramblings and musings of a fox who is struggling to pull herself together and regain the confidence that was once broken and stripped from her. Will most likely be nothing more than a mind dump when things are getting rough.

This is a safe place to share whatever you want, as long as it doesn't actually break laws, I get that. And I definitely don't want to scare people off from sharing what they please. 

 

But sometimes... You need to think about others. 

 

Sometimes the things you write, share, create, ect, can be actual fears/worries/trauma for others. If you don't put some sort of warning about the subject of your content... It can really mess people up. 

 

Yeah, sure, the thing that now has me paranoid and feeling shakey could have been avoided if I realized what the story was about and stopped reading. But sometimes, like a car-wreck, you just... Can't stop. Can't look away. And until they broke the realm of realizm, that's what happened. 

 

All of this to say... I really wish that some people would realize some things need warnings. Even if you think it's silly, to someone else, it could be really traumatic. If there was a warning, I would've just moved on. 

 

I'm fine, I'm probably making a bigger deal out of this than I should be, but I really, /really/ didn't need to start my day off this way. So now I'm ranting... Sorry everyone. 

 

Feel free to just ignore this. Lesson learned and I will be completely avoiding some people's blogs just to try and spare myself.

Miss Magdalena​(sub female){FreeSpirit} - They need tags for blogs. I’m hoping some day they implement that, this way you don’t have to constantly put disclaimers in, or preface something with what you’re writing about. Makes it easier on the writer, who may not want to start their personal blog with some type of warning label, and easier on the reader, who can look at the tag and decide easily, whether it’s something of interest for them. I hope your day improves. 💖

HuntertheYeenQueen​(dom femme){Allie Kat} - I absolutely agree. I don't want to force people to "hinder" writing by adding the tag so I'm all for some sort of system, which they keep saying they're going to do when it's suggested but I haven't seen it happen yet. But until then, if it's a really sensitive subject, like rape which is what my trigger was this morning... Sometimes it's really, really important to warn readers. It just sucks that there isn't a way to do so attached to the site already to make it easier.

SchrodingersDinosaur​(switch female) - As somebody that has shared some deep dark stuff from my past here I did seriously consider adding a potential trigger warning at the start. Actually talked myself out of it for two reasons. Main reason was that I know there are people here that have had much more traumatic experiences than I have. Seemed a bit self-indulgent to say 'my stuff is sooo bad' when others have been dealt so much worse. The other thing I thought of was that just due to our proclivities for playing in dangerous waters pretty much anything might potentially trigger someone out there. I'm afraid that if we tag anything that could be disturbing so much would be tagged that it would water the efficacy down to the point it is meaningless. Thoughts anyone?
