I am completely OK with mocking people who think books should have a color coded warning system on the cover to let you know how sad the ending is.

i mean, cspam is supposed to turn into 4chan 3 or whatever and funnel in the qanon people after their brains have been further destroyed for their 10bux. havent you read the cspam agenda in the mod forum and qcs

hmmm best check the last page of this book just to be sure it's not going to be upsetting... "He bows to the fiddlers and sashays backwards and throws back his head and laughs deep in his throat and he is a great favorite, the judge. He wafts his hat and the lunar dome of his skull passes palely under the lamps and he swings about and takes possession of one of the fiddles and he pirouettes and makes a pass, two passes, dancing and fiddling at once. His feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die." o wow this seems like a fun and pleasant book i cant wait!

trigger warnings are helpful for the surprisingly large number of people with ptsd, so who cares if soft silky baby libs are the main proponents?

It's not a content warning, lmao. Do you think there are people who are triggered not by specific things but just by general sadness? If so, most books with a happy ending have sad things in them, you know, to build some kind of a narrative. Knowing that the ending is happy won't help with sadness triggers just like knowing that the rapist will go to prison in the end won't help with a graphically described rape being a trigger. That's the whole point of content warnings.

I mean if you can't explore emotionally difficult or challenging ideas in a fictional story then when can you deal with them? does catharsis just not exist for these people?

I mean, at least some of these people are going through tough times in their lives and want some escapism. I don't know, I feel like this is just the whole "only over-sensitive babies who can't handle real life want trigger warnings" argument all over again. I thought we moved past this!

it's fiction, it's already a safe space because none of it actually happened e: just to be clear, the original picture wasn't talking about content advisories, but whether an ending is "happy" or "sad"

A 1-5 scale about how "sad" an ending is has loving nothing to do with content warnings and also how do you even quantify "sadness"

Crazycryodude posted:A 1-5 scale about how "sad" an ending is has loving nothing to do with content warnings and also how do you even quantify "sadness" 5: Everyone dies, everything was for naught 4: A lot of bad things happened but there's at least a hope for a future (ala Romeo and Juliet: Yes the main characters died but the feud is over) 3. Everything resolves mostly fine but there's a bittersweet tinge (did not get the girl, etc.) 2. Main plot resolved nice and tidily, but room for a sequel (a side villain surviving and wanting revenge, 'that was just the start of the attacks', etc.) 1. "And they all lived happily ever after".
