Trigger warnings

Yes, you should be a snowflake and get upset about them.

Meh, just get over them

You can only vote on one answer.

I don't get upset about trigger warnings. Am I missing something?
Am I supposed to be angry, shocked and appalled about them?
Or am I simply just not a snowflake?

A long time ago I felt this way too until I got in an abusive relationship

Sometimes when I watch certain movies or observe certain pictures i guess that “trigger” me I start crying uncontrollably

I am usually not so much affected by reading

I use them out of respect for others, because just because we do not react the same way as others does not mean they are capable of the same reactions we are

@DeluxedEdition You've just given me an argument for them!

Thank you and I am sorry about the abusive relationship xx

Or maybe you're a non thinking snowflake who doesnt heed the warning?

@MistyCee But then if I am reading a book that means I am going to have do some thinking.

@Wol62 Warnings that you safely ignore are a pain, but my opinion is to try to tolerate them as opposed to attacking the folks who demand them.

Reminds me of packing peanut butter in my kids lunch. Are they worth the effort? Maybe not for me, but I'll be damned if i want to argue with a parent with a dead kid.

@MistyCee I'm in favour of them!

I just think, well am I missing something as people get very upset about them. So if someone came up with a brilliant argument for eradicating them then I'd I'd have to take that on board.
So I thought, well isn't that what SW is for? If anyone can destroy trigger warning with their intelligence it's the good people of this site. So, over to them...

Wol62 · 51-55, M

@maturedragon So am I missing something, why do people get angry about them?

maturedragon · 26-30, M

@Wol62 well tbf some places will censor while others will just be warnings

I get mildly annoyed at some of them, but I keep it to myself. There are people out there who are genuinely traumatized and need them.
