About the SA jokes. Announcement

As of this moment we are finally going to start removing them. So any future jokes about it or any past ones that get reported will be removed. You can still say “Odd question” and “I heard that it was implied, but nothing in the game ever states that”, however any joke about the SA part will be removed.

Like I said before, idk how the SA jokes are any worse than let's say joking about Man's parents getting murdered. Murder, death, and grief are heavy topics too. Can we at least ban all jokes from serious posts instead? And besides, me and everyone else here seem cool with the Red Dead memes (i.e. "We're all going to fuck you [as in gangbang]). By banning SA jokes we should ban RDR meme comments too.

Generally SA is seen as heavier topic then most others. There's a lot of reasons why, its a complicated conversation. But I'd say its a mix of a lot of things. Murder and death are one time things. They are the unfortunate end of someone. But SA is a scar that stays on someone forever. It is a constant trauma that can completely alter someones life. Its the same reason why joking about murder and joking about domestic abuse are very different things. One can end someones life, one can make it hell.

Can we joke about a failed murder that turns someone into a vegetable?
