Re: Safe Spaces

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not sure how useful a "safe space from ANYTHING TRIGGERING" could possibly be.

Can you elaborate?

As someone above said, ideally, every place on earth should be a safe space from discriminatory behavior. That isn't the reality, and we have to work with that.

But how would someone not experiencing emotional distress at something not be useful?

Re: Safe Spaces

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt but

as someone with ptsd due to rape and other traumas, the idea that such a space exists is ime laughable. For most people triggers aren't some simple cut-and-dry thing. Just avoiding the discussion of rape or abuse or whatever doesn't somehow stop you from being triggered, because chances are good what's actually triggering is just some stupid bullshit that no-one could ever possibly know to warn for. baggy jeans, or red hoodies, or NSync b/c that's what you were listening to when you were attacked, or whatever.

Same with phobias. You can always warn for the common ones (spiders, heights, etc) but there's people with phobias of fucking everything. And do you ban all discussion of food b/c someone with an ED might be upset by it? Does their avoidance of emotional distress trump another ED sufferer's desire to talk about food b/c it makes them more excited to eat healthily?

Emotional distress is just a part of being alive. It's admirable to want to protect people from it, but that's an impossible goal and really not worth striving for. For every person you manage to protect, there'll be another that you've made feel uncomfortable b/c they can no longer openly talk about their own experiences.

This is why I'm gonna go back to the old way of "tagging" things.

Warnings: Rape, Offensive Language, etc.
Squicks: Age Gap, Under Age Teen Sex, etc.

Cause Trigger Warning just, imo, doesn't fit, cause otherwise, you'd have to "TW" for EVERYTHING under the sun.
