Are You Easily 'Triggered'?

If so, why?
I ask simply because many of my posts here elicit angry responses, and I don't know why. I mean, ALL I do is challenge widely-accepted beliefs that to me seem insane. It's nothing personal, but people take it that way. It's almost as though they can't handle the thought, the mere possibility, of being wrong about something. Are their egos really so fragile?
That's not me in the photo, by the way.

I feel sorry for this lady because he’s been spread all over the place. I wish we didn’t use the word trigger, in psychotherapeutic all clinical settings it is a very specific meaning, something that reactivate a trauma. In our common usage, it just means something that pisses you off. I think this is a diminishment of the term. But I certainly know your point.
To challenge their treasured worldview, is sufficient to make many people lose their intellect. I think this is a sign of a weak mind
You go right ahead and keep on challenging them maybe it will help them grow
