What is 觸發警告 / 內容註記?

對故事或章節的簡短前置通知,提醒讀者可能令人不安的主題(例如性暴力、虐待或自我傷害)。它提供讀者決定是否閱讀、略過或在情感上做準備所需的信息。

觸發警告(TW)或內容說明(CN)是一段簡短且置前的聲明,用於標示可能引發強烈情緒反應或使曾經經歷過相似創傷的人再次受到創傷的內容。在浪漫小說中,這類題材通常涵蓋如非自願性性情境、情感或身體虐待、性脅迫的描寫、自我傷害、流產以及其他強烈的題材。其目標不是審查或破壞故事,而是透過讓讀者就參與做出知情選擇,以尊重讀者的情緒安全。最佳實踐是足夠具體以實用、語氣中立,並放在讀者在遇到材料之前就能看到之處。

Usage example

在故事頁面或章節的開頭:內容說明 — 包含情感虐待的描寫以及非自願場景。建議讀者自行斟酌;在設定中使用內容過濾器以跳過被標示的章節。

Practical application

觸發警告與內容說明能建立與讀者的信任,同時降低造成傷害的風險。對於互動式浪漫應用而言,它們有助於玩家在追尋路線與何時暫停上做出決策,並透過傳達平台重視用戶福祉而提升留存率。實際做法包括在故事頂端與章節標題中加入簡潔說明,提供標示內容的切換或過濾功能,避免在說明中劇透,並考慮增加可選的支援資源或一個快速「跳過」按鈕以應對敏感章節。內容創作者在撰寫艱難主題時,亦應使用敏感度審稿人。

FAQ

What’s the difference between a trigger warning and a content note?

They’re often used interchangeably. A trigger warning tends to emphasize potential trauma triggers (e.g., sexual violence), while a content note can be broader and more neutral (e.g., themes of grief). In practice, use clear, neutral wording that informs without sensationalizing.

How specific should a content note be without spoiling the story?

Be specific about the type of material (e.g., 'contains depictions of sexual assault' rather than vague labels like 'may be upsetting') but avoid describing plot details or outcomes that would ruin surprises. Keep it short, factual, and placed before the content.

Should every story with mature content have a content note?

Not necessarily. Use notes for material likely to cause strong distress or re-traumatization (violence, sexual coercion, detailed self-harm). Routine mature themes or consensual adult sex can be signaled by rating systems and age checks rather than a trigger warning.
