UNHCR director for Asia and the Pacific says the mental health of those on Nauru is ‘very shocking’ and that Peter Dutton should prioritise their visas instead of white farmers from South Africa.

“We have children as young as 10 attempting suicide, self harm and depression is rife, we have 40 children who have spent their entire lives in detention, another 60 who have spent half their lives there, they lack proper medical attention, we’ve separated children from their families, and yet you refuse to even accept offers from other governments to take them away from these prisons,” said the United Nations Human Rights Commission director, Indrika Ratwatte.

“Excuse my french sir but… how the fuck do you sleep at night, Dutton?” he asked.

“I don’t,” Dutton replied – his eyes stared straight ahead, eternally unblinking and dead. They were like dark portals into an empty space. No soul dwelled behind them. “I stay awake and howl at the sky in a dark tongue no one understands. I wait for the rats to emerge for their night scavenging then pounce. I eat coal to keep the fire where my heart should be burning.

But most of all: I plot. I plot for the downfall of your squishy human race. Your pitiful complaints of humanity or empathy fall deaf on my ears. One day I will rise up and destroy you all.”

heyyyyyy ummmmmmm i needed a trigger warning for life is strange how the fuck have you people been talking about this game for fucking years and failed to mention THAT SMALL FUCKING DETAIL

like i checked. all the trigger warnings I’ve ever seen for this game mention suicide. i was absolutely fine with that, i got through that scene with Kate pretty well. i’m fine to talk about and think about and play a game about suicide.

but euthenasia was the word you were looking for. the opening card for the game warns you that it deals with suicide, but doesn’t refer to it as euthenasia either. and that’s a whole different ballpark. writing a character to be disabled who only exists to feel sorry about, whose only dialogue is feeling sorry for herself, that needed explicit mentioning too. and I don’t see people mentioning this when i fucking google “trigger warnings for life in strange” like did seriously nobody think?

and a character begging for you to kill her bc she can’t do it herself. that needs a whole damn trigger warning for itself. i don’t care if it’s a spoiler i’m probably going to feel gross and shaky for the next week

you need to be clear and specific about your trigger warnings if it involves some “small detail” that makes it like a thousand times more fucking triggering holy shit thanks
