i'm always glad to see more nuanced takes on content warnings and tagging on here. everyone always has horror stories about, like, getting yelled at on mastodon for not putting a selfie behind an "eye contact" CW or whatever, but i'll always remember my own horror story from a few years back on tumblr where like. okay so before bed one day i posted a single funny dialogue screenshot from undertale (i believe it was toriel going "who the hell is sans" at the end of the game) after having replayed it. and then i wake up to a message that's just like "tag undertale please." and i just woke up so i leave a kind of snippy response to this demand, which i immediately feel bad about and delete. and then the person comes off anon and messages me directly and i'm like "hey sorry for being cranky, i don't mind tagging things, i went back and tagged the post" and without being prompted they just completely go off on me explaining their personal trauma that makes undertale a trigger for them, and then they proceed to get mad at me for "making them" share all this personal info that i absolutely did not ask for, and then they declare that they're going to tell everyone they know to boycott my game because i'm an asshole to trauma victims. i never heard from this person again but at the time i was genuinely terrified that this interaction was going to turn into an overblown callout that haunted me for the rest of my career, all because i didn't tag a single screenshot of undertale
some people, man
