I've heard about people flipping out over the MiB flashy thing because it could be used to cover up something non-consensual. Which is an incredibly creepy idea, if you think about it.

By that logic, we should have to warn for heavy sleepers. Or buying produce at farmer's markets. I mean, who knows who did what to that pear you're gonna eat?

I'm not big on warning. I'll warn for the obvious major triggers, but not much beyond that. Warning for situations in which something could potentially happen, even if it doesn't, seems really excessive and unnecessary.

Pears aren't generally known for causing amnesia, though?

Anyway, I agree that it's not something I would expect to see a trigger warning on. But I can see why someone might decide to use one, especially if they happen to know someone who is seriously freaked out by the idea of deliberately induced memory loss.

The trigger warning for the hug almost seems stranger to me. But that could just be because my imagination isn't syncing up with the actual image -- there's a difference between "not into it" and "upset by it", and hugs can range from barely touching to "dear god how many hands do you have?!?"

If we're going to warn for situations where things could potentially harm you without your knowing about it, I mean, some criminal mastermind could inject drugs into your pear and then you eat it, and who knows?

Anyway...

I'm not a hugging type (social anxiety, yay) so my feelings range from mild discomfort to outright dread, depending on who the person is and in what situation. I still wouldn't consider it a trigger worthy of warning, though.

Eh, it's one thing if it actually happens like that.

But if not...

On the other hand, that's not the worst idea

Goddamn it, I'm not going to write MIB rape fic tonight, I'm not!

Er, if you do.... Link, pls?

Yes you are.

No! not this time!

I'd have comic K and J rape movie K and J. And nobody knows about comic K and J so it wouldn't be well recieved.

Pfft.

No one would remember. That's the entire point.

Oh, wait. You mean the people reading it?

Because let's just be honest here, I have a fondness for violent non-con, and IDGAF who it's written about.

Charge on, brave knight.

[flash]

but you already read it, don't you remember?

There'd be no point in warning about the flashy thing, though, because it's just part of the MiB mythos and anyone familiar with MiB ought to know that. People who are disturbed or triggered by the potential of the flashy thing should just avoid MiB entirely, both fic and canon.

Now, if you wrote MiB fic with rape or other non-consensual acts, regardless of whether the flashy thing was involved - then that should be warned for, just like you would warn for rape in fic in any other fandom. Warning just for the flashy thing when it isn't used in a problematic way is like writing Star Trek fic and warning for transporters.
