This too! I took the option to opt out because that scene was way too much for me, I really appreciate the sense of respect Disco Elysium has for people that can't handle some of the topics it covers.

I didn't realize it until later but I absolutely adore how this is basically an in universe trigger warning for the conversation about Lely's tattoos (which I appreciate very much because jesus fucking christ that conversation was. A lot.) You can also back out of it at any time, the game doesn't force you to keep listening if you're uncomfortable.

It's a small moment but this is a good example of why I think Disco Elysium manages to get really dark with its subject matter while never feeling like it's dipping into shock value territory. It's also super impressive how the writing is so good that it manages to give a trigger warning to the audience without feeling out of place or breaking immersion.
