I usually try to be "live and let live" about triggers, but if the scene in the first 12th doctor episode where the doctor pulls out one hair off of his head and one off of Clara's to show her the truth out the restaurant is so gosh darn triggering that you have to write a news article about how horrible and triggering it was, you either

(a) are a horrible shill using a valid concept (triggers) to make money/get known
or
(b) need to go to a doctor to talk about your oversensativity because holy shit.

Whaaaat...

Link please?

Some people always mix "triggers" with "things that gross me out." Now, if the scene of the Doctor pulling out hairs triggered a deep set in memory of the writer where he/she had a parent who always abused them by pulling out hairs, one by one, I can how that scene would be a valid trigger. But I am guessing it's more like, "Ew, that's gross" than anything else.

[(Anonymous)]

Apparently it triggered a form of self harm? More details in the link listed below.

But I still think that if you're triggered by someone intentionally pulling out two hairs, you should see a doctor for help.

[kallanda_lee]

I think the question, as always is: what can you reasonably expect? How far can "the world" reasonably accommodate you?

I think there are limits to it, and I say this as someone who self-harmed.

I regularly am exposed to stuff that is actually uncomfortably/emotional to me in that regard - and sometimes it's just that I choose not to heed trigger warning, but sometimes it's a show or a film where I did not necessarily expect it. I expected it, but not the way it was done, and it will hit home.

I understand it's more tricky if it's a family friendly show than a horror movie, but still, even there you can't expect to be shielded fully. Especially as we know the Doctor does actually have some issues.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, I HAVE trichotillomania, and I'm going to go ahead and call bullshit on this. (Or call Daily Mail on it, as they say in Britain.) Mine is relatively mild, but I still pull out the tweezers when I'm around other people if I feel a hair I can't leave alone, and there've been times I've had scabs on my cheeks from trying to dig one of the little fuckers out. And it did not cross my mind AT ALL while I was watching that scene; the idea that it would seems pretty far-fetched to me.

[(Anonymous)]

Relevant article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2737867/Doctor-Who-criticised-scene-characters-tear-hair-complaints-sufferers-rare-disorder.html

The fact that it's the daily mail leads me to believe that the person is (a), which just pisses me off, given that triggers are a valid issue for some people.

[(Anonymous)]

Wait, that is the Daily Mail. Guaranteed whatever is at the other end of that link is hysterical bullshit with a zero percent chance of accuracy! Remember the Daily Mail hate the BBC more than even the most radical anti-Moffat fan hates the Moff. There is no way that article will contain a shred of truth.

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe so, however it is a some people do have a type of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder that makes them want to pull their hair out.

[(Anonymous)]

People need to stop thinking that TV shows should be flawless at all costs and stop being too obsessed and invested in their entertainment sources and thinking they'd always teach them how to be the most perfect human being of all times, like fuck it, stop picking on everything and just let it go for once, it won't kill you.

I've seen a bunch of people complain about this. And bitching about Moffat saying that Clara is an "egomaniac, needy game player"
ooooooookay, stop watching it then.

[(Anonymous)]

Nice strawman. No one expects tv to show them how to be a perfect person. I think this hair thing is ridiculous too, but seriously?

[(Anonymous)]

I've honestly never seen people complain this much about any subtle or tiny fault from a tv show this much. It's insanely ridiculous how much they expect so much from it; they need to step back and chill for a little.

[(Anonymous)]

People say that? They're totally missing the point of the joke then, since that description can apply to both Clara and the Doctor.

[(Anonymous)]

Which, in turn, makes them sound stupid because if you say that about the Doctor? Oh, it's okay, whatever. But to Clara? HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT, MOFFAT, YOU SEXIST CUNT FUCK OFF THIS PLANET.

[(Anonymous)]

*Sigh* I know it's the Daily Mail, which in general isn't reputable, but don't blame the article for reporting on something that's happening, blame the stupid people throwing a fit. That you seem to equate the writer with the people complaining shows you have no idea how newswork works.

And while this isn't hard-hitting important news, it's still news when arguably one of the BBC's most popular shows is drawing harsh criticism (however idiotic we think that criticism is) from people with a condition.

[(Anonymous)]

Isn't reputable is understating it. Pit of utter bullshit founded on xenophobia and hatred of the BBC might be closer to the truth. Although that will still not capture the hatred for facts or the BBC the Wail has.

[(Anonymous)]

I do blame the Daily Mail for choosing to publish it.

[(Anonymous)]

So, you completely missed the part where its newsworthy. Gotcha.

[(Anonymous)]

Except it's not.

[(Anonymous)]

Do you work in the news industry?

[(Anonymous)]

Is that a requirement for having an opinion as to what is newsworthy?

[(Anonymous)]

It -- or at the very least an education in the field -- is a requirement for understanding how newsrooms determine newsworthiness.

At risk of Godwin.

[(Anonymous)]

The Daily Mail has managed to avoid printing anything newsworthy since 1938 when they spoke out in favour of that dynamic Austrian chap doing well in cleaning up Germany's streets and economy of that Jewish trash. That was only newsworthy in what it revealed about the Daily Mail, which is probably why they try to avoid printing anything newsworthy. They thought that more countries ought to have his approach, which, broadly speaking, is pretty much what he thought too. Of course, that was back in their moderate days.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, so this reminds me of something.

There's a cafe in Vermont that had a sign out advertising their bacon. Someone posted on a message board about how the sign was offensive to vegans and Muslims* and the cafe responded by taking down the sign.

I read about this and I was like...are you for fucking real? People can't advertise things if you personally either can't or choose not to have those things? What is the matter with you? You're basically the equivalent of a spoiled child who's been told "no" for the first time in your over-privileged life.






*This is ironic because the bacon was actually turkey bacon, so Muslims could eat it.
