I typically find that most ASMR or audio RP’s are a welcoming space. I do think that if it contains +18 content it’s made explicitly clear in the title. Which makes it completely fine in my opinion.

About the safe space thing: NO
If someone accesses from his or her own free will a content, he or she has no right to complain about it. End of the story. "Not everything has to be for everyone". There's enough ASMRtists out there for anyone to find what they're looking for. If someone find a content not to their liking, they can simply click away. This is not cable TV, you're not forced to watch a dull and boring program because there's nothing else proposed at one specific time... And, fuck that, freedom of creativity above over-sensitivity. I've seen enough of the things I like fucked up by "political correctness" and "all inclusiveness".

My 2 crowns regarding safe spaces. There is so many different ASMR Roleplay that saying it should be safe spaces.
There is something for everyone that people can find what they want. And most asmr artist tend to tag if there is something you need to know. Example being killed or such. So setting up a " safe space" (as the definition of what a safe space is so lose at times)might push away part of the community. Tagging stuff should be enought.

There's already sites, actual places, and groups that serve this purpose. Besides, people could get offended over anything. I once saw a lady flip out on a Walmart employee because her chocolate was too dark.

Some of my favourite asmr involve cthulu, plague doctors, murderers, and being talked down too by am englishmen. I say let people have at it, let the audiences decide what they like individuality!

No artistic/creative endeavor should be a safe space. A creation confined by limitation is lesser than what it could be in overcoming or ignoring limitations.
A respectful tone of conversation among both the consumers of the art and the creator towards his/her fans is one of those things that just kind of fall in the same cathegory as common sense.

Besides, at the end of the day it is and should be the artist that has the final say over what he/she chooses to do with their talent.
It is not the audience's place to make demands. One may ask, suggest and advice but never demand or order.

And if one should happen to disagree with or not enjoy the particular angle artists take on in any given field/fandom/discipline then they should try to create what they would wish to see themselves.

Love your channel and your videos I will follow you till the end of time

Wish I could give you money but I have no money 😕

No it should not be considered because if you click on I video and you don’t like it then it’s there fault no need to take it out on the people that made it and stuff like that.

I am fine with gun shots I find it relaxing people don’t understand how but I just do the point about the twists ending the videos I have seen like that it some times says [Death] or [No Death]





I remember that guys channel what the HELL YOUTUBE

How dare they allow that asshole back on hear

I'm more or less of the same opinion as many here. Considering the connotations of the term "safe space" and what it often translates to, I don't think it belongs in ASMR. There's too many types that exist for it to work appropriately. Different ASMRs work for different people. Trying to effectively gate ASMR as a whole would never work. Better to keep it as is and let people choose for themselves. The ones that get easily bothered by some of the types out there just don't want to be sensible and just enjoy what they like.

Yeah no. Because the person HAS to click on the video to watch it. So in a sense, some people “trigger” themselves. I’m subscribed to Mother Macabre and don’t think her channel is for everyone. The only “safe spaces” should be in asylums. Here in the real world, you have let things go and leave them be. People whom have PTSD need a source to recover, but people usually have that. You can’t make a one size fits all to prevent “triggering” so it’s better to not try.

Like anything, if you don't like it then don't watch it. There are a lot of disgusting people out there, but we aren't them and ASMR RP or just straight ASMR hurts nobody.

Personally i don't think so, i mean for me is like when you are in a channel about music you can talk about it say what you don't like about, well it's a "safe place" because you can express you point of view with the protection of internet. But the real safe place are just dead hole to creativity, and a way to never be confident and overcome your trauma.

No of course not! I can understand people thinking of it as such but after all the bullshit the left pulled to compare this to a safe space is an insult to ASMR. A more apt description of ASMR is relaxing, therapeutic, and Kinda a spa trip for the mind.

I don’t think so. We’re (ideally) capable of reading titles. It’s really your own fault if you choose to listen to an ASMR video you don’t like.

"Safe spaces" are one of the worst things to come from this recent culture shift in society. It creates the mentality where it's ok to shelter yourself from the world rather than expose yourself to new things, shocking and offensive or not. Those experiences are important to develop as a human being, and running from those experiences leave you less capable of handling stressful and trying situations or ideas. You may act irrationally, while others might respond with aggression, in the extreme with violence. Confronting things we're not comfortable with is crucial for us to learn more about ourselves, others, and the world we live in, and interact with one another in a healthy way.


If a twist ending in an ASMR video, something honestly so insignificant, is truly disturbing people then I have to go ahead and question their own state of mind. It's nothing for someone like you as a content creator to be concerned about, it's for them as a person to sort out their issues. They are their own responsibility, and us in the world can't be expected to cater or placate any and all possible issue that might ail them.

Clearly label what is in the video, that is the best thing to do. People will avoid the video if the title has something they dislike. Not much more you can do.

Some people are into screwed up ASMR or "off brand" ASMR. My main understanding with the term "safe space" is the one related to the SJW crowd and they are known to murder creativity so in that sense no

No, I don't think ASMR role plays should be a safe space. if there is things in the role plays they don't like they can simply not watch them and look somewhere else. it ruins everyone else's fun for the sake of their feelings. "Well I don't like it so I'm going to take it away from those who do like it".
I don't like male ASMR, extreme Yanderes where they do blood rituals and ones where I'm killed yet I don't take serious offence to them. peopele enjoy those and I have no say on what they should like.
No matter what type of role play I listen to I do feel welcomed and included since me being black and legally blind doesn't matter. Someone still wants to do something to me and that's what matters rather it's good or bad.

If everything is safe, then everything is boring. If somebody doesn't like something, they can do one of two things. Move on to something else, or cause a big fuss over something that doesn't matter. Final answer, asmr is meant to make the viewer relax, and feel safe in a sense, but nobody is safe from scrutiny, scepticism, or differing ideas. Should asmr channels be safe spaces? No.

I agree with creating safe spaces, but it doesn't require you to change the content of a video..
"safe space" is a super vague term. It's almost impossible to shock and offend nobody, in order to create a safe space you should include a trigger warning somewhere and doesn't involve changing the content of the video. You could include something on screen or in the title or description saying "TW: (insert shocking genre)"

When you give tyrants an inch, they take a mile. The only way you can be free is to let other people be free. If you're an American and you vote for any party other than the Libertarian Party, you are a traitor in my eyes. You may not meet the legal definition, but the DNC is devolving rapidly and the Republican Party is getting there. Both parties are anti-American and anti-freedom.
