On a tangential note, engaging in these conversations over the past couple months has made me realize that I have a pretty stark difference between what I'm willing to read/be an audience to vs. what I'm willing to plot/participate in a scene as, and I can't think of any system of safety tools (in either the online rpg space or the ttrpg space) that is particularly effective at distinguishing the two short of "please have a conversation about it on a case-by-case basis every single time."
(Like, it's not just smut, but for the sake of argument let's say it's smut. It feels somewhat disingenuous to write "nothing" under my "please warn" when I know I will never be up for writing smut, but at the same time, surely no one would actually pitch a smut thread at me if they didn't already know me and my preferences very well, on account of wanting to avoid above-mentioned shaming?)
