ANYWAYS
I have a topic that might be interesting?
Should books (YA and adult books in particular) come with content/trigger warnings?
Good topic. I mean, I don't think so because spoilers. But perhaps in categories like pg13 type stuff so you know this book probably contains x or y or z.
@The-N-U-T-Cracker
(for once I am so glad I simply googled the name instead of watching anything…)
@Pickles group
I feel like that kind of comes in the description. Like, if you know what it's about you should be able to figure out if there's going to be triggering content? But I also don't read much contemporary so I could be wildly wrong
Deleted user
I think it depends on the book. at the end of the day its an adult book so it would be filled with adult content that could potentially be triggering. i think its not a good idea but it should completely be the authors choice.
@HighPockets group
I feel like it depends on what the content is, and the genre of the book. Like, if there's an overly gory scene in a contemporary or a romance, or gratuitous/detailed rape in anything.

im just gonna ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
@Althalosian-is-the-father book
I would say that that stuff should be in a category where that is acceptable in. So that anyone who picks up the book is one who knows they might encounter such.

If washing the hair will make you feel good afterwards, do it.
(Note: This advise should not always be used.)
@HighPockets group
Gore in a horror novel can go unmarked (unless it's something very over-the-top and gratuitous), but stuff like that in a contemporary should probably be marked, imo.
@Althalosian-is-the-father book
(Though now that I think of it, it's like the opposite of do what feels good now… I like it I think. Alright kids! If it will make you better/stronger/more insert good thing then do it. Even if it doesn't feel good now. This has been Dom Advice.)
@HighPockets group
('Dom Advice' reminds me of when one of my friends accidentally combined the words 'mom' and 'dad', and said 'dom'. My other friend's reactions were probably exactly what you think they were.)

because the answer is memes
@Althalosian-is-the-father book
No.
@Anemone eco
I mean. I kind of have a topic: Genetic modification. Of food to be specific. Should it still be a thing or are there too many risks?
@SpookyScarySnoteleks group
It should, but with certain restraints. Like, continue what's happening now, go no further, if something bad happens, stop it and see what went wrong, and improve from there.
@Anemone eco
Okay, but why should it have restraints?
@Pickles group
Most of our food is already genetically modified. To a certain extent at least
@SpookyScarySnoteleks group
Because. We don't want it to get out of control. If it gets out of control, the big business people will be like; "we need more money say bye-bye to the safety regulations" and eventually start the apocalypse or something
Deleted user
I'd love to know how genetically modifying food can get out of control.
@Anemone eco
I was wondering the same thing.
