Content Notes Available

As part of the run-up to the release of Will's route, I have developed a document consisting of extensive content notes. These are less warnings and more thoughts about how sensitive topics are approached and covered in the game. They are inspired in part by questions I have been asked on Tumblr over the years, so thanks to all!

Specific notes about topics found in the game's routes are found below the main content notes and use a spoiler reveal system (described in the document).

I will be linking the content notes more widely when Will's route releases. In the meantime, dear Tumblr fans, feel free to give it a read!

That’s Not My Neighbor is a pretty interesting game — think Papers, Please but with doppelgangers.

Triggers are up on the site!

EDIT: We forgot to check trypophobia initially, but fixed that. (Thanks, @aho-bot!)

Please feel free to reach out if we ever forget a trigger like this! We're just a small group of volunteers, so we will miss things from time-to-time. But, when we do, we want to make sure we correct that ASAP so that people are able to avoid triggers or content that is harmful for them.

Thanks for being rad humans!

Many social programs are implemented with the best of intentions and later discovered to be either ineffective or, in the worst cases, counterproductive. At the height of its popularity in the 1980s and ’90s, the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program was used in 75 percent of American schools at a taxpayer expense of an estimated $200 million, but subsequent evaluations revealed that it didn’t work. Drug abuse was just as high in schools that received the program as those that did not. To add insult to injury, in the 2010s, the iconic D.A.R.E. t-shirt was adopted as an ironic emblem by members of the drug subculture (Wright 2017).

Similarly, after a decade or more of use, there is growing evidence that trigger warnings in college classes do not work as intended, but, for reasons I will explain later, I don’t think they are going away soon.

The Basics of Triggers and Warnings

Trigger warnings, content warnings, or content notes are “alerts about upcoming content that may contain themes related to past negative experiences,” and they are designed to “protect individuals whose unique experiences have left them emotionally vulnerable to specific material” (Bridgland et al. 2023, 1). Supporters of the use of such warnings suggest they empower vulnerable students1 to prepare for or avoid altogether the negative material. Critics argue that trigger warnings violate free speech, promote weakness, and sustain mental health problems in a generation of young people who are suffering at alarming rates (Lukianoff and Haidt 2015). Interestingly, these are directly opposing views of the psychological effects of these warnings: both the proponents and critics suggest their views promote mental health.

[ Figure 1. A Google Trends graph of searches of the phrase “trigger warning” for the years 2004–2023 (obtained on December 12, 2023). Ignoring the two spikes in August 2016 and December 2018, interest in the phrase has been steady or slightly increasing over the past ten years. ]

Although they have received some backlash, particularly in the conservative media, trigger warnings seem to be as popular as ever. The Google Trend graph in Figure 1 shows a steady—perhaps slightly increasing—number of searches for the phrase “trigger warning” over the past ten years. The anecdotal observations of one Chapman University faculty member suggest that student concerns about triggering material increased during the pandemic with the shift to spending many hours online “where the use of Trigger Warnings (TWs) and Content Warnings (CWs) on social media, particularly on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, have made the conversation far more visible” (Read-Davidson 2023). In addition, many university documents about trigger warnings can be found online. Most of these make a nod to the professor’s academic freedom by not requiring the use of warnings, but these documents also give extensive guidance on how and when to employ trigger warnings and strongly suggest that instructors should use them. For example, this statement from the office of the provost at the University of Connecticut includes the following: “These resources are for faculty use if you deem their benefit appropriate to your learning objectives and the classroom culture you seek to establish. This language is in no way intended to impede academic freedom, but to offer another opportunity for you to support your student’s ability to learn and engage in your class.”

This passage is followed by several paragraphs of recommendations for “best practices” in the use of trigger warnings and examples of warnings for use on the course syllabus. After reading this statement, I know that if I were an untenured professor at the University of Connecticut, I would feel all but compelled to use trigger warnings for any course material that might conceivably upset a student in my class. More about this later.

But Do Trigger Warnings Work?

There has been some doubt about the effectiveness of trigger warnings almost from the start, but as more research has been conducted, the picture has become clearer. The most extensive study to date is a meta-analysis published in Clinical Psychological Science in August 2023 (Bridgland et al. 2023). The authors hoped to answer four questions:

Do trigger warnings change the emotional response to the material?

Do trigger warnings increase the avoidance of the warned-about material?

Do trigger warnings affect anticipatory emotions before the material arrives?

Do trigger warnings affect educational outcomes (e.g., comprehension)?

In a preregistered investigation, the authors searched for studies in which a trigger warning was given and one or more of the four effects described above was measured. In addition, the type of warning had to make it clear that the forthcoming material might trigger emotions about past experiences. As a result, more general notices, such as PG-13 ratings or “not safe for work” messages, were excluded. They found twelve studies that fit their inclusion criteria, and in the majority of these (ten out of twelve) some participants had previous traumatic experiences. One study was restricted to participants with a history of trauma.

The results did not support the psychological benefits of trigger warnings. Summing the studies together, the meta-analysis revealed a “negligible” effect of warnings on the experience of the material, when compared to that of participants who were not warned. Similarly, the use of trigger warnings had “trivial or null” effect on comprehension and a “negligible” effect on avoidance of the material, which was typically measured by allowing participants to choose between readings that did and did not contain warnings. One study found that the presence of a warning increased the likelihood of selecting a reading in a kind of “forbidden fruit” effect. The one reliable effect that emerged from the analysis was on anticipatory emotions experienced prior to exposure to the material, and unfortunately it was in the wrong direction. Participants were reliably more anxious in the period after the warning was given but before the material was presented.

I found a more recent study, published just five days ago as I write this, that looked at the reactions of students—a substantial proportion of whom had previously experienced sexual assault or unwanted sex—to a nonfiction account of a campus sexual assault drawn from Jon Krakauer’s 2016 book Missoula (Kimble et al. 2023). When warned about the content of the reading and offered an alternative passage without such material, fully 94 percent of participants still chose to read the potentially triggering passage. Furthermore, those who had a previous traumatic experience were no less likely to read the sexual assault passage than those who had not. As might be expected, sexual assault victims had a stronger reaction to the passage from the Krakauer book, but there was no measurable effect of providing a warning.

The stated purpose of trigger warnings in the classroom is to promote the psychological wellbeing of vulnerable students, but a growing body of evidence suggests they are ineffective at that goal and, in the case of anticipatory anxiety, do more harm than good. Given this track record, one might expect widespread calls to eliminate them from college campuses. Indeed, some people have made these calls. Writing in The Atlantic, Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt (2015) argued that “universities should also officially and strongly discourage trigger warnings.” In a statement against the use of warnings, the American Association of University Professors suggests “the presumption that students need to be protected rather than challenged in a classroom is at once infantilizing and anti-intellectual.” Nonetheless, as I suggested at the beginning of this article, there is little evidence that trigger warnings are going away soon, and their importance may actually be growing.

Follow the Power

I am speculating here, but I think the use of trigger warnings is supported, in part, by changes in the power structure on college campuses, and as a result their use is more about campus politics than it is about student mental health. Before going further, I should say that, in my view, some forms of warnings can communicate respect and good manners. For example, a simple statement on the first day of class that some of the material in the course will be potentially upsetting can communicate an appropriate concern for students without promoting a kind of victim status. Similarly, I have no objection to statements at the beginning of a radio news piece, such as “this story contains discussions of rape.” I can think of any number of reasons—other than having been raped in the past—that might make someone averse to hearing that story. Such warnings can be simply a matter of politeness and good taste. But the more elaborate use of trigger warnings is likely to continue despite the mounting evidence that they are ineffective.

Today college students have far more power on campus than they did in previous eras. In the distant past when I went to college, it seemed all but unthinkable to complain to the administration about something in my classes. The only time I can recall doing so was when a group of graduate school classmates approached the chair of the department because our professor was not addressing any of the topics listed on the syllabus. He would just come to class and ramble on about whatever was on his mind that day. Furthermore, as dramatic as that case seemed to us, the department chair brushed us off, saying there was nothing he could do, and that was the end of that. Of course, this was long before the age of the internet and social media.

Today, parents are paying enormous sums to send their children to college, and for all but the richly endowed elite schools, bad publicity can have serious financial consequences. The loss of just a few students at $70,000 per year quickly adds up. Furthermore, today’s institutions have made it exceedingly easy for students to complain. Many schools now have mechanisms for students to report “bias incidents” to the administration. These programs typically allow for the anonymous reporting of any member of the college community by any member of the college community. See, for example, this program designed to accept anonymous reports of any act or communication “that reasonably is understood to demean, degrade, threaten, or harass an individual or group based on an actual or perceived identity” whether the acts are intentional or unintentional. If you Google the phrase “report a bias incident,” you will find a long list of colleges and universities with similar programs.

In this environment, even the most truth-seeking professor who is fully aware of the research on trigger warnings is likely to feel a strong pull to use them nonetheless. Or to avoid any class material that might conceivably warrant their use. A recent study of criminal justice professors found that the majority used trigger warnings, and among those who did, the most popular reason was “to allow students to prepare for upcoming material.” However, 27 percent of those who used trigger warnings said they did so “to protect against student complaints” (Cares et al. 2022, 604). Furthermore, if you are an instructor in a vulnerable untenured position, even the full embrace of trigger warnings may not save you. A recent example of this was the Hamline University art history professor who gave extensive warnings before showing a fourteenth-century painting of the Prophet Muhammad and still lost her job when a student complained to the administration. So much for the free expression of ideas.

My hypothesis about the power structure in higher education is further supported by recent events in elementary and secondary education where the power is coming from the right rather than the left. In several red states, a new focus on parents’ rights has had a similarly chilling effect on instruction, but the protected group is primarily white students rather than minorities or trauma victims. According to the Washington Post, a parent in a North Carolina school objected to a reading about Christopher Columbus’s treatment of Native peoples because it would make her white son feel guilty. The parent contacted the school administration, and an administrator told the teacher to “stop pushing your agenda” (Natanson 2023). The same article reported on an Iowa law passed in 2021 that prohibited teaching “that the United States of America and the state of Iowa are fundamentally or systemically racist or sexist.” In light of this law, Greg Wickenkamp, an eighth-grade social studies teacher, asked his district’s superintendent: “Is it acceptable for me to teach students that slavery was wrong?” The superintendent was unable to say whether that statement was allowed or not under state law.

Of course, these are only the cases we hear about because the teachers involved were among the few to question authority or stick to their lesson plans. Undoubtedly many others quietly altered their lesson plans to avoid anything that might anger a conservative parent.

Out in the real world, we do things for a multitude of reasons. Today, a text or work of art that might make educational sense may not show up in the classroom for reasons that are more political than pedagogical. In the case of trigger warnings, they are likely to remain part of many college courses despite the evidence that they fail at their stated purpose. It is a traditional skeptic’s lament that evidence is often not enough to sway people toward reason, and I am sorry to say that this is one of those cases. Reason and evidence alone will not strengthen our educational system. The political winds need to change before that can happen.

Note

1. Although trigger warnings and similar kinds of notices are used in many other contexts, in this article, I am primarily concerned with their use in secondary schools and universities.

Trigger warnings are pseudoscience. They don't do what they claim to do, and what they claim to do isn't even a good idea in the first place.

[notruevampire]

TW, CW, CN

Trigger Warnings, Content Warnings, and Content notes.

What are the differences?

These are scaling notices about content, generally in media. There is some confusion about the terms that we should discuss.

The highest level of warning is a trigger warning (TW). These should only be used to alert readers/viewers that the following material can cause a psychological issue to become a problem. This carries some controversy among people who don't understand what a trigger is.

A trigger, in context, is a stimulus that causes significant pain. For example, a common and well-known PTSD trigger is fireworks. When a combat veteran is exposed to fireworks, they may find themselves back in a memory of being pinned down under gunfire or explosions. During this time, they are reliving that trauma, which can damage any treatment they've received.

Another common example is sexual assault. This is one that requires trigger warnings in media because when a survivor is exposed to the subject without warning, it can trigger the same thing: being forced to relive the event. Or it may simply cause intense distress. Either way, it can interfere with healing.

By having the warning, the viewer or reader has the ability to prepare. This can be helpful in recovery! Exposure therapy can only be effective when initiated by the trauma or phobia sufferer. But it requires consent and for the individual to be at the right stage of healing. Not all people with PTSD or phobias can do so, but they may never do so if they are regularly exposed to triggers without warning.

Now, what is a content warning (CW)? This sounds similar, but it is closer to a rating system (Such as what we see with movies and television). A content warning gives a broader idea of content that may be upsetting to viewers/readers, but isn't likely to trigger common psychological conditions (that doesn't mean it won't, but it isn't as severe a risk).

Finally, a content note (CN) is for content that may be objectionable or may involve sensitive subjects. It isn't a warning, but a way to give awareness of what the viewer/reader is consenting to by continuing.

It is important to use the correct label, because if you use a trigger warning where a content note should be, you are signaling that that the subject may be traumatizing.

For example: TW: Children. Very few people will have a distressing psychological condition triggered by the existence of children. There are people who may wish to avoid content about children in a specific place, so a CN would indicate that they are being discussed/pictures are being show. A TW would indicate that harm is going to be discussed. This, in itself, can cause anxiety and distress.

In conclusion, these labels exist to allow more people to access and enjoy content. They are an accessibility feature for conditions that may be disabling. They are also just a show of respect and courtesy.

They were designed to make a stronger, healthier society, and when used appropriately, that is exactly what they do.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk 😉

For the past couple of weeks, I've been working with game developers, accessibility workers, and mental health providers to help make it easier to know when a video game might have content that could trigger PTSD or another mental health issue.

Today, that went live with ~30 games.

Come check it out!

[graysongoal]

100% agree. This game was so good, I played it straight through.

During Pride Month.

Also, if anyone is wondering about content, triggers, and phobias in this game, there are a lot - and the game is up on the @gctdb - link here.

Still Wakes the Deep is a masterpiece.

As beautiful as it is compellingly disgusting, it transcends its obvious Thingspiration with incredible writing, vocal performances, and imagery. To call this game gripping is to do an injustice to the stranglehold it kept on me throughout its runtime. 

Set on a North Shore oil rig that inevitably drills its way into a gory nightmare, the dialog and delivery stand out from the immediate get-go. Its Scottish cast puts everything it has into an impressively authentic script. From the lingo to the banter to the unabashed foul language, there’s a naturalness to the script that videogames almost never attempt, let alone excel at.

I'm not a professional astrologer yet, nor a native english speaker

☆ Sun in the 1H may have some downsides which many people tend to overlook: high ego and egocentric behaviour. These people at worst may be enormous attention seekers, drama kings/queens and can't stand being away from the spotlight for long.

☆ Aquarius Mercuries hate being silenced for having different opinions, they're the ones always ready to fight for their ideals and it's very difficult to make them change an idea, they can be very stubborn about their beliefs.

☆ Moon Square Venus people may tend to have conflicting relationships with women/feminine figures, their inner feminine energy is often a bit repressed and they struggle to embody it healthily.

☆ Taurus Risings very often carry a fascinating contradiction within their personality, they ooze a calm, serene and collected demeanour lookin' all cute and warm while having an impressive amount of boundaries, strength, determination and hard working spirit. They carry the "silent strength" aura very well, and they often get to be perceived as more fragile than they actually are or even "babied" from other people.

☆ Capricorn Risings in most cases aren't actually "cold and intimidating" looking as descriptions claim them to be, they tend to have very large doe and dark eyes and cute cheeks, yet an aura which exudes mystery and boss vibes.

celebs examples: Damiano David, Kylie Jenner, Ariana Grande, Monica Bellucci, Jeon Junkook, John Legend, Aishwarya Rai, Naomi Campbell, Dakota Johnson, Charlie Puth, Lorde, Olivia Rodrigo

☆ Pluto in the 10H may face a lot of changes within their public image throughout the years, and they often tend to have people who have polarised opinions about them, people either love and obsess over them or completely hate them for no reason, they may go from being seen as the hero to the villain and vice versa in 3 days straight.

☆ Scorpio Rising always wins the award as the "Most Sultry, Seductive & Mysterious Rising Sign" hands down in my opinion, along with Pisces Rising

☆ Gemini Moons are one of the most overlooked moon signs along with Virgo & Taurus Moons. No one ever talks enough about how disgustingly smart and quick minded they are, most of them aren't actually "cheerful little clowns" as descriptions claim, they're way deeper than that and hugely intellectual and calculative, great strategists.

☆ Mars in the 11H/3H tend to face a lot of hardships and arguments around their friends, they may have friends turn to enemies real quick or a very teasing relationship with their friends. On another level they're the ones always ready to speak up and defend their beliefs, this one is a great placement for lawyers and debaters.

☆ Jupiter/Sagittarius in the 4H may come from very large families, they may be the ones having lots of brothers/sisters/uncles/cousins or their parents got married more than once. They may come from very religious homes/economically well-off/funny families.

☆ Saturn/Capricorn in the 4H on the opposite side, may indicate a small family, being an only child or just having few cousins/uncles, at worst it may even indicate not having a good relationship with their own families or a very cold/business like relationships with them.

Groom & Briede Persona Chart Observations III

Groom (5129), Briede (19029) are asteroids that are romance kind of asteroids. Groom represents the husband, and Briede represents the wife. If you are into men, look at your Groom Persona Chart, and if you are into women, look at Briede PC. Despite it is starting to be well known and recognized as asteroids, those two are still new, and we don't actually know that much in the end about those asteroids. Some say it will say the signs and placements of your FS, some say it will explain who is your FS. I have decided to make observations about it, and make a conclusion about those asteroids. Observations were made on married couple, still together or divorced, that I know.

⋆˚✿˖° Jupiter in a Groom or Briede PC can represent where you'll meet, how you will meet first (sign & house).

⋆˚✿˖° Discovery made on those Observations. A false idea that goes around in the astro community is that the Groom/ Briede PC is supposed to tell you your FS' placements. It's not true! Actually, this is pretty rare and it happened in 10% of the cases I studied. Don't count on this, Groom and Briede PC are supposed to tell you who they are, it's describing your FS, and not revealing their NC.

⋆˚✿˖° Placements that usual happens to describe placements of your FS (NOT ALWAYS):

- Rising sign can usually say what elements FS' Rising is. And I have noticed that your Spouse Rising sign trines the Rising on Groom/ Briede PC. EX: If you have Cancer Rising on your Groom/ Briede PC, your FS can be Scorpio Rising, because Cancer trines Scorpio.

- Moon Sign or house can indeed tell more about your FS' Moon sign. Sign can represent their house or element their moon is in.

- Rising degree can also sometimes say more about their Rising, and sometimes their degree too.

- Ruler of the Rising can also say what is in their 1H or FS Rising can have the same ruler, tho be careful with that, not always. It worked 5% in all the natives I have studied.

⋆˚✿˖° Libra Rising can mean your Spouse is very pretty, very good looking and know how to present herself well. Charismatic spouse.

⋆˚✿˖° Rising 5°/ 17°/ 29° means popular spouse, spouse can wear a lot of expensive clothing.

⋆˚✿˖° Cancer Rising can mean your Spouse can already be a parent when you meet. Spouse can also look quite nice, innocent, good looking. Spouse can have a difficult relationships with food too, and it can impact their appearance.

⋆˚✿˖° Virgo Rising can mean FS can look cold, away, or just very hardworking. You can see FS as being this way and just very serious most of the times.

⋆˚✿˖° Capricorn Rising means you may respect your FS a lot, and see them as very serious, hardworking. You could see them as the leader, and the person in charge.

⋆˚✿˖° Sun 11H means FS can be very popular, everyone can appreciate them. FS can party a lot and have a lot of friends.

⋆˚✿˖° Sun 12H could mean Spouse could have felt lonely their whole life, and they could have felt like no one truly understood them. Spouse can also have a mental illness. Spouse is very private too.

Synastry Observations Pt.2

materialist🔖

DISCLAIMER: These are just my personal observations and are meant for entertainment purposes only; it may not resonate with everyone due to the nuances of astrology. Please respect my work and avoid copying or stealing it. Enjoy reading!! 🍊⭐️

🍊 Mars in the 12th house synastry has got to be one of the worst things 😭. It’s confusing and exhausting. The Mars person seems to harbour some sort of irrational animosity towards the house person in a very passive-aggressive way. The house person can sense this too, but they are unsure if they’re making it up or not. Also, it’s such a blockage; you could be really close to each other and know of each other, but the conversation WOULD TAKE AGES to start because neither the house person nor the Mars person wants to initiate conversation. It’s like there’s an invisible barrier between you guys 🥲

🍊 Venus in the 8th house/ in Scorpio’s first romantic relationship or situation always ends up hurting them. I’ve seen this countless times where their first experience with romance either ends in heartbreak, unrequited love, or just a missed opportunity. This heartbreak helps these individuals immensely transform, and they might prefer to isolate themselves from anything romance-related for a long period of time. Honestly I think this is a canon event for every Scorpio/8th house Venus that I’ve met, including me lmao and especially if there are Venus-Saturn hard aspects, dear lord, sending love to all my scorp/8th house placements fr🫶🏻🥲❤️‍🩹

🍊 Something I’ve observed with Libra placements, especially the moon, is that when they’re in a relationship, it becomes the focal point of their life. They might go as far as changing career paths to be closer to their partner, altering their style to match their partner’s preferences, or adjusting their personality to be more appealing to their partner (yes I’m sure most of us do this to some extent but it’s a bit excessive for these peeps😭). Their relationship becomes such a central part of their identity that if anything goes wrong, it can feel devastating for them. For instance, I have a friend who is a Libra moon, and she always refers to her partner as “my boyfriend” instead of his name, even though we all know him personally, like gurl come on he’s got a name haha😭

🍊 Moon in the 12th house synastry can equate to the house person opening up to the moon person or just feeling extremely vulnerable around them. They’d share things with the moon person that they dare not share with anyone else. This synastry could also mean staying up late in the night and throwing your sleep away just to talk to each other 🧿

🍊 12th house synastry could also have undertones of enemies-to-lovers (the lovers part only if you ever get together, that is) because there’s this energy where you don’t know why the other person acts hostile/passive-aggressive towards you, ignores you, or sends you mixed signals that makes you dislike them but at the same time, you can’t stop fantasizing/dreaming about them in all these romantic scenarios or them showing up in your dreams outta nowhere like??😭

🍊 7th/8th and even 10th (to some extent) house synastry could indicate that one of the two, either the house person or the planet person (mostly the house person), copies the other, be it mannerisms, clothes, slang, or even certain traits of the other’s personality 💀. It’s because they notice how much attention or admiration the planet person garners, so to obtain that same kind of attention and recognition the house person might try to emulate the planet person 🫤

🍊 7th house Mars synastry can be very annoying and tiresome (especially for the house person). The Mars person could be a bit too much for the house person. The Mars person could get very petty and passive-aggressive towards the house person for no reason (this could go vice versa too). Yes there is sexual attraction and y’all could motivate/support each other through stuff but at the same time it’s draining asf, a big no no for me when it comes to synastry 🥲

🍊 Moon square Saturn synastry can cause delays when it comes to emotional attachment between two people, but once these two finally connect, it’s ride or die typa relationship fr 🥺🫂

🍊 Moon/Mercury in the 1st/5th/9th house synastry is very exciting and fun-loving, with lots of playful teasing and bantering with each other 😋🥰

🍊Moon /Mercury in the 2nd/4th/8th/10th/12th house synastry makes both parties very sensitive to each other’s words because these houses reflect our self esteem/self worth, the deepest parts of ourselves, our core, our reputation etc. A little bit of critique can also be taken personally by either party. Even harmless jokes could be taken in the wrong way and arguments could occur (especially if there isn’t 3rd/5th/9th/11th house synastry or any easy aspects in the synastry chart)

🍊 When someone's planets fall in your 8th house, they intuitively sense your true and deep needs related to that planet. For example, if someone's Venus is in your 8th house, they will know how to love you in a way that makes you feel unconditionally loved and appreciated. If their Mercury is in your 8th house, they will understand how to communicate with you on a profound level, meeting your need for deep and meaningful conversation. If their Mars is in your 8th house, they will instinctively know how to meet your sexual needs and desires and please you in bed🖤❤️‍🔥
