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.

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!
