OptOut - Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss

[dog_lover]

So Makima is… genuinely horrible and she can engage in some really awful and abusive shit, quite frankly. Even before you get to her powers, she’s absolutely about utilizing emotional manipulation and abusive control tactics. In the interest of keeping all play fun and consensual and not triggering anyone, I wanted to offer a standing OOC warning and an opt-out from all such shenanigans.

Makima can, and will, use…

• gaslighting
  
• sexual harassment
  
• false accusations
  
• scapegoating
  
• flying monkeys (using other people to attack and harass you)
  
• self harm and threats of self harm
  
• gatekeeping
  
• encouragement of unhealthy behaviors or the use of recreational substances
  
• animal harm and threats of animal harm
  
• love bombing
  
• bullying/negging
  
• conditioning
  
• stalking
  
• triangulation
  
• and many many more, honestly.

If you are uninterested in being tagged by her at all or if you’ve got specific behaviors you would like me to avoid with your character, please tag in here and let me know. I have no desire to trigger or harm anyone OOC but this is how she rolls.

I would like to opt out of gaslighting/false accusations/overt manipulation with all three of mine, please.

[dog_lover]

Can you specify the names of your characters on here just so I can look here for reference?

[all_hart]

Sorry! Marty Hart, Thomas Blanky, and Elim Rawne

[dog_lover]

Thank you!

[dog_lover]

Also just doublechecked and want to be clear: what do you mean by "overt manipulation"?

[all_hart]

Attempting to make someone do something through messing with their heads is the best I can think of. Anything that involves making someone doubt their memory or attempting to build a false narrative around them, basically, is something I'd rather not be involved in.

[dog_lover]

Oki doki! For the time being, I'm going to avoid her with your characters as she pretty much manipulates everyone she comes in contact with to some degree or another and building a variety of false narratives is her bread and butter. Once she gets to the stage where she can deal with people in any way genuinely, I'd be happy to revisit but I feel like that's the best way to make sure no one's put into a situation where they'd be threading something they're uncomfortable with.

[all_hart]

That's fine!

[dog_lover]

Coolbeans! See you with my others, though ^_^ they're not terrible.

[all_hart]

:D yeah!

[ukan]

Mine are fine with this! (Annie and Lark)

[dog_lover]

Thank you!

[skitter]

Opting out of flying monkeys and animal harm/threats of animal harm please. (bug harm is fine always)

[dog_lover]

Thank you!

[pharadyne]

I'm fine with any of these. (Re: Norton)

[dog_lover]

Thank you!

[routemistress]

Opting out of animal harm, please.

[dog_lover]

I'll add 'threats of the same' on there as well. Thank you!

[classifieds]

I'm alright with everything!

[dog_lover]

Thank you!

[friendsfordinner]

Go for it with regards to any of her nasty behaviors wrt Hickey.

[dog_lover]

Thank you!

[sears]

Okay with all of the above for my current crowd (Azula/sears, June Harris/thegirlwithallthegrifts, Tiffany Doggett/tucky)! Tiffany does have both substance abuse and sexual assault in her canon history, if that affects your comfort levels at all, but I'm personally fine with anything as long as it's handled respectfully OOCly.

[dog_lover]

Thank you!

Anything beyond basic behaving—to-further-her-chosen-narrative or lies, I would contact you about because it would be towards something specific. She’s not really… about just fucking with people to fuck with people. She’s always got a goal and if someone like one of your characters moved up from being side character who should think she’s a generally nice and decent person who was ‘manipulated by the government boo hoo’ to main ‘I actively want to use them or hurt them’ level, I would want to discuss with you anyway.

[sears]

Sounds good!

[statementfuckingends]

Opting out of animal abuse and soft opt-out on self-harm, but otherwise all good for Tim. And if anything comes up during a thread that's too much I'll let you know!

[dog_lover]

Gotcha! Awesome. As mentioned above, anything above manipulation of the truth to sound more sympathetic and likeable will probably be discussed.

Opting out of character interaction for now, please!
(may change depending on character developments; though, if they are stuck together for an event or suchlike I am open to that possibility.)

Re: Nita Callahan

[dog_lover]

Gotcha.

She doesn't do much of this anymore (she's progressed past a lot of it) but you just let me know when or if you change your mind. Otherwise, I will not tag her and will generally behave should you tag her.

Thanks! Will note for the future.
