I saw some of your discussion. Specifically about the Haarlep scene.
I think that scene happens very fast and it is tempting for some players (like myself) to see how far things will go in game, and you are not always prepared on a first playthrough. I have seen others belittling other players shock at what happened to their Tavs, I think players have all the right to be shocked. While it was not triggering to me personally, I can see it being that for others.
I also think (I know we are all sick of talking about expressions, but) Tavs expressions during and after the scene that shows them smiling content is important to not make that scene worse than it is. If it was different I probably would have a problem with it to be honest.
While the game has horror elements it is not a horror game. And hearing about horrible events are quite different from experiencing them through your Tav. The Haarlep scene as it is now is on the fine line for me. With the Patch 6 added companion warnings, all the other in game warnings and the content face, I feel it is ok. It doesn't need a trigger warning, imo.
In my opinion trigger warnings should be present if it is a unexpected, elaborative scene and it is presented in a way that makes it true to real life horrors. Even more imporant if the trigger is a common one that will affect many people.
