This is great. Trans individuals, and especially transwomen, are one of the most underrepresented and mistreated demographics in games, so this should fill people with a little bit of hope. But there's still a lot of work to do.

"So...it's okay to trigger one group because you perceive that society treats that group better? Do you think that has much of a bearing on how it feels to be triggered in the moment? Do you think a PTSD sufferer is unlikely to be triggered if society 'supports' them?"

If no one "cared" about other people's problems then there would be no social progress whatsoever. Not caring about very real systematic injustices is about as irresponsible as one can be.

I'm sorry I belittled other individuals with PTSD, I truly am. Read my discussion with Straw Hat and you'll see that I recanted that later on.

However, I stand by my point that we live in a rape culture and that rape victims are constantly belittled and dehumanized, far more than survivors of other forms of PTSD. I…

That's not what I'm trying to argue; I'm trying to argue that joking about post-rape PTSD is wrong and that rape jokes are unfortunately far more accepted in our culture than jokes at the expense of individuals suffering from other forms of PTSD, but I slipped up in explaining that and I'm sorry for that. I apologize…

Majora's Mask was the weirdest, darkest, smartest and saddest Zelda game. It took the basic mold of the already wonderful Ocarina and deconstructed it, exploring familiar series tropes and game mechanics in entirely new ways. I especially love how it turned the notion of town NPC's on its head by giving us a world…

First and foremost, I'm offended on the part of people I know personally and care deeply about who HAVE suffered through rape and who ARE triggered by lazy, mean-spirited rape jokes virtually every day. My point about your "I know a couple of rape victims" comment wasn't "well YOU CAN'T VERIFY THAT," my point was that…

"Harmless" jokes wouldn't trigger PTSD in rape victims, so I'm not sure why you're asking for hard statistics on that.

This comment was originally just pointless snark, but I'm genuinely curious as to what, exactly, you thought was at all stupid about that comment. What's stupid about advocating sensitivity for those with PTSD by not making fun of violence/tragedy similar to what they've experienced?

I recanted the "jokes about death are typically okay" bit; I was wrong for implying that they were, because they can also trigger individuals with PTSD. However, I never "erased the perspective of experience of the relatives and loved ones of murder victims," nor was that ever my intent. My point wasn't that "the…

That was my point. Arguing that "rape jokes are okay because we make fun of death too" is bad logic.

In comparison to victims of rape? Undoubtedly.

What's funny about rape? I don't get the joke.

It's completely possible to make jokes that don't trigger individuals with PTSD; the vast majority of jokes are not nasty and mean-spirited. However, today's comedy scene is dominated by assholes who confuse "trying to be as DARK and EDGY as possible, man" for good, well-constructed humour.

Also, as I mentioned…

Indeed, I was wrong to say "there are very good reasons why jokes about death are typically okay." They're not, and I wasn't thinking clearly, and everyone who is upset with me because of that has every right to be. I'm just more concerned with jokes at the expense of rape victims because they're far more prevalent…

There's a big difference, though. Modern military shooters glorify the military and imperialism, they don't make fun of them. While individuals with PTSD can easily avoid playing Battlefield or something that's obviously going to trigger them, they also don't have to deal with being invalidated or mocked about their…

I'm pretty sure that's a nice anecdote.

The point isn't that the families of murder victims don't suffer, but that there suffering cannot be assumed to be PTSD, and PTSD is a particular kind of suffering that needs to be accounted for. My intent wasn't to argue that "murder jokes are okay;" it was to drive home the point that trying to make light of PTSD to…

Yes, but PTSD requires special attention because it's particularly nasty on a subjective level and can force individuals to relive the violence they suffered, whereas other forms of suffering can't quite be triggered in that way.

A+ Straw Man.

Every person who complained about that were simply individuals with brains who realized that making light of rape is tasteless and belittles those suffering from PTSD.
