(Haven't had a reason to use this icon for a while, lol)
So. I watched the next episode of When They Cry and it was all about the sad backstory of this cute little girl, and I got the feeling this was setup for even more bad things happening to her in later episodes (The whole show is about bad things happening to teens, but I can deal with that when they're treated as peers to the protagonist, and she is not)
I decided I'd rather be spoiled, so looked up some episode summaries to see if there was a point where the plot would stop being about things I find upsetting and BOY IS THERE EVER NOT. It's a layered cornucopia of my squicks all the way to the end!
Also I feel like I was in fact warned about this, decided to avoid the game/anime, then totally forgot. Good going, me. Still, I'm not actually triggered or anything, and I'm glad I watched what I did. It's an interesting and complex story.
Spoilery discussion under the cut. I'll list the triggers/squicks on the first line, but they're spoilery in and of themselves.
