In any case a setting in the menus would very much help with these kinds of triggers.
This doesn’t have anything to really do with the thread topic, but I think you’re misconstruing Ysayle’s/Shiva’s death. Did she go into it knowing she likely wouldn’t live? Highly possible. But I personally wouldn’t even classify that as a suicide. So, in my mind, what she did and what Zenos did aren’t even comparable.

That said, perhaps you should try to understand why people commit suicide in the first place. It is hardly ever because they are being selfish—and usually because they see no other way out of their suffering. I had a dear friend who chose to end his life a few years back, and it’s insulting to him and his memory for anyone to imply that he was being selfish with what he did. I can’t excuse it because I still can’t wrap my own head around the reasons why, but it’s no one’s place to call any suicide victim selfish.



On topic, I still stand by what I said in that trigger warnings aren’t needed. I welcome you to read the study I linked. And perhaps consider how they fail to do much to actually help people when it comes to healing. Teaching avoidance isn’t healing anything. It’s teaching you to hide.
