A) You do need to learn how to deal with things that set you off. People who complain most about needing trigger warnings for everything under the sun i) don't seem to be willing to do that and ii) post angrily about it right away when if they were really triggered they'd be under the desk, shaking and crying. Because a trigger the way they're thinking, a PTSD trigger, doesn't just cause 'discomfort on a level beyond a mere squick', it sets off things like panic attacks and flashbacks.

B) A lot of the things people demand 'trigger' warnings for really ARE for things they just don't like. So yeah, trigger (or content) warnings for, say, child abuse make sense. Trigger warnings because a blog post mentions a ship you don't like? Fuck right off.

C) Some of us who complain about overuse of trigger warnings are doing so because we have triggers and we do have panic attacks and flashbacks and we would like the term to not be diluted so that people say 'oh you just don't like it'.
