hey so, postfurs (well, and other people who do it): a thing to note: if yr doing hypno or -anything that can drop succeptable people- it should be CW'd under a tag if yr posting it into the public timeline (I'd go as far as to say *at all, ever*, but lets start with baby steps)

this is a huge bystander consent issue, and one where the after effects of it can be pretty fucking bad

its not just people who are do hypno who can get hit, its dissociative people and a lot of people w/ PTSD

tag

that.

it takes very little from it.

and half yr TF narratives are basically hypno, too, but, baby steps

*puts message in a bottle and throws it into the void*

@nire this seems like really common sense. It's baffling that people think "oh this doesn't need to be tagged"

@rozashanina yeah but most of them see it as having fun or playing with identity and like

people follow you for more than getting constantly dropped, and also: being part of the federated timeline is not consent (not that following is, either)

but yeah

its a huge problem even on irc, and twitter, and argh

@nire @rozashanina Eurgh. You mention postfurs and IRC and... yeah, I have an uncomfortable suspicion about whom you're speaking. You are absolutely right, bystander engagement and bystander consent need to at least be discussed in a way that gives people an option to decide whether or not engagement is appropriate. There's still negotiation to be done, but folks should at least be showing awareness of the issue.
