IC Threats and Prohibited Themes

Posted by Apostate on 06/12/20
This post is in regards to the prohibited themes of sexual violence, as a warning in case you are uncomfortable with reading it.

In the help files, it is explicitly stated that RP involving rape is a prohibited theme in this game. Just to clarify, this also includes threats of sexual assault as well as references to sexual assault in PC back stories. Sexual assault survivors should have a place that they can RP with having to deal with those things threatening to make this experience painful or uncomfortable for them. We do not support this sort of RP at all and have no qualms with banning those who subject players to these sorts of themes that make them feel unsafe.

Arx is a non-consent game and, as such, there will be exploration of some themes that might make players feel uncomfortable or upset, like death and some horror elements. Our goal as staff is to maximize fun and minimize discomfort and upset. Sadly, sexual assault is something that has affected many people and we don't do that here in any way. If a player is subjected to RP that is revolves around prohibited themes, please reach out to staff.
