A certain cutscene in Gridania needs a trigger warning

[DinahDemiurge]

The quest "Butcher of Greentear" has triggered me due to the required act of murdering defenseless hoglets. As a top council member at PITA, I am shocked but more than that, I am triggered. My anxiety over the treatment of puppies and kittens, and other animals is a condition that deserves respect. There should be a warning not only on this quest, but all quests which require MURDERING defenseless animals. I have had nightmares for weeks, and have been underperforming at my real life job due to this quest, and I may need to hire a therapist. All of this could have been avoided with a trigger warning. Consider the needs of all players.

You are killing pixels, not animals.

Whoooooosh.

I demand a trigger warning for all pixel related matters then.

"Demanding" is not the way to go about that.

With all due respect, I have severe disabilities and learning difficulties myself and even I can tell that this is not real. I don't think its right to limit the story that Square Enix want to tell just because it offends a small minority of people. "Trigger warnings" actually make me feel rather sad, we didn't need them 20 years ago on games.

Besides, don't PITA put down a lot of the animals they rescue? I think I read something about that somewhere, I know they've been involved in some morally questionable activities in the real world.

Sometimes we have to face our greatest fears—it is what makes us human beings and able to grow from these situations. If we shelter ourselves for too long, we lose our grasp of reality.

you forgot the "literally shaking and crying" part of the meme.

I'm calling troll on this one. If you really are a 'top council member at PITA", I would have imagined you knew that it's PETA, and not PITA?

And as an animal lover I demand an end to PETAs disgustingly high rate of putting animals, including healthy ones that could and should have been rehomed, down.

Sad fact is while video games are pixels and make believe and reality is...well real its an all too common occurence that video games be changed or censored in some way as a vocal minority become increasingly vocal about it.

PETA just a scam organization lol
