EARLY ACCESS: Video Games & TRIGGER WARNINGS!
🕑 Added 2021-09-24 16:01:04 +0000 UTCVIDEO LINK: https://youtu.be/WuX_R8Dy-mY
Happy Early Access day! Continuing with this week's theme of Video Games and Gamers, and similar to the bonus video I released on Tuesday, this weekend's video is also about a certain subsection of people complaining about games not catering to their every need. However, this group isn't concerned about getting enough content for their dollar or the quality of the game or anything like that... they want to be warned ahead of time if anything in the story might upset them! Enjoy what some might say feels like a real throwback Dose for me, but is just another day at the office laughing at people who get upset when things don't go exactly their way.
The advancements in video games over the years have not only led to more realistic graphics, but also more realistic storytelling. But when many video games are based on righting some sort of wrong to another person, what happens when the wrong they're righting is similar to something that's happened to people in their lives?! Well, that means sometimes people get TRIGGERED! Buckley looks at the Internet's reaction to recent games and updates to older games, and wonders if maybe every experience just isn't for everybody.

Warning: This candle may cause sensory flashbacks. Smeller discretion is advised.

Dude I cried over a candle once due to a trigger. Does that sound stupid to you? It should. Because it was. Can you imagine if demanded a warning for candles? I'd just kms at that point *it was the smell*

So the drama over this game was the first I heard of it and it caused me to buy it.

100% agree. Personal responsibility. It's not the developer's responsibility to protect you from life and the experiences within it. That's on you.

This is very, very well said. People like this need to either get therapy, harden the fuck up, or preferably both

Whenever I get attached to a dog in a game i use a website called www.doesthedogdie.com it tells you a verity of things like if a dog dies, if a game contains spiders or other common phobia but also things like rape or sexual assault if that’s something you want, as for me I don’t care how a dog dies in a video game I just wanna know it’s coming To this day I can’t watch Marley and me and I don’t care if you make fun of me

Meijer is like the only US grocery chain I know (aside from maybe Whole Foods or Trader Joe's, which are kinda more yuppie places I feel like, and not places anyone actually goes for their regular grocery shopping) because I'm so close to Michigan, so that one might be a weird one for other Americans (or of course anyone not in the US at all)

A dating sim wouldent be fun if there wasnt any obstacle or reality in it? Also uh, hate to break it to ya, but some people like violence/sexual themes like that... you'd think that's common sense but no......... Also the spoiling part really pisses me off. Got spoiled to all shit when Danganronpa V3 came out, and I'm talking about the japanese sub only, not the english version. Also it always seems like this people who oversexualize of think of overly sexual scenarios with fictional things are always the people to pull this shit... Really great video ! Everything was super great the triggered meijer supermarket text was probaly my favorite little thing you added visually!

I love how spoiled rotten Twitter is. It proves these people terminally live online and never talked to a Normal person IRL.

Our planet is doomed, hopefully climate change gets us first. You also forgot to mention something in that trigger warning. Stuck In The Middle With You is playing during Michael Manson's scene 😎. Also just looked up Doki Doki...man that's f'd up.

Jesus, yeah... this is like, someone who seems pretty proud of this "gotcha!" moment. If it's upsetting that a KAPPA is like "hey you got a boyfriend?" to some sort of weird bobblehead, you're going to have a tough go at things I think.
The whole video reminded me of that woman who said Kapp'n from Animal Crossing sexually harassed her. It's this: https://marykatemcalpine.medium.com/animal-crossing-and-the-normalization-of-sexual-violence-ce094b99cbed.
