Gut reaction to the X-card: I will never use it, or join a group which does. Never. Either the group is dysfunctional, and people would really knowingly hurt others’ feelings for real in which case they’re assholes, and then what the hell are you doing here OR the group is functional and doesn’t need it because nobody would hurt anyone else.

If the X-card isn’t about hurting feelings, but shared agenda, and course of play then it’s obviously wrong because taking the fiction where the special snowflakes, did not expect and intend it to is the effing point of roleplaying with others.

We don’t need safe spaces to comfort our ego, we need unsafe spaces, that’s what communication and acknowledging others is about.
