I say we lightning bolt the people who are being hyper-sensitive about the
subject. Every time something comes up with I may have had some ugly history
with that pops up isn't an excuse for me to go out of my way and get
aggravated, annoyed or agitated.

The explicit and urban taboo's are part of todays mondern day culture, if
they break down in tears, get angry, upset, agitated every time they see a
couple break up on a Soap Opera, every time some one get's ran over on the
television, just because of they're own personal history. It's they're
his/her problem, not the writers. Or in this case, the developers.
