I'm sorry. I seem to have expressed myself badly.

In no way am I saying "we can't solve it completely so why bother doing anything?" I thought I was in fact saying "let's work out how to ameliorate it" and offering my suggestions (warn on triggery subjects, not glorify atrocious behavior, etc., while asking for further feedback).

My position boils down to two points:

1. I don't want to hurt anyone knowingly or intentionally, and will do what I reasonably can to avoid that.
2. Conversely, in the little art that I do produce, I would like to illuminate the human condition without glorifying behaviors that are unacceptable (most of which come down to hurting someone knowingly or willingly).

Is there any way to reconcile these beyond either warning about triggers, or avoiding probable triggers altogether? (Being aware here that there IS a qualitative difference in triggeriness among subject matter, of course; where to draw the line is a related but separate discussion. So too is behavior when not "on stage"; as I noted earlier.)
