  • Trigger warning: the word tra*ma

    I like to think of myself as pretty supportive, but is there really any evidence that specifically reading the word “trauma” is traumatic? And if so, is the removal of the “U” really a solution to that?

    Because it seems like asterixing one letter is more of a performative measure to signify ones support for the overall cause rather than an actually means to reduce suffering.

    How close can the “U” be before it starts to upset someone?

    “Tra u ma”

    Uuuuuuuuuuuuu Tra ma Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu

    I don’t believe that someone who is affected by the word “trauma” would view the above examples with a complete non-reaction because the U is vaguely obfuscated.

    Like, we can agree that the asterix is just a display of consideration to someone, rather than an actually effective measure, right?

    I don’t know why, but I really didn’t enjoy it. I like pretty much every single critically acclaimed game there is, but Disco Elysium bored the hell out of me. It was basically a visual novel with this clunky split personality disorder thing going on. The humour was pretty “so THAT just happened” which explains why it got so popular with Redditors.

    Idk, I played it until I got to some group of union workers arguing on some big wall before I just couldn’t stomach any more.
