Ok, just a general announcement.

ONE, "trigger warnings" are for COMMON triggers only. Things like talk of rape, abuse, child abuse, eating disorders, self-harm, serious drug use, and suicide are common triggers. Less common ones are homo/transphobia/gender dysphoria, blood, needles, knives -- or traumatic events (Holocaust, genocides, earthquakes, 9/11, you know what I'm talking about). Gender identity is not a common trigger. Food is not a common trigger. Mudkips (mudkips, really?) are not a common trigger. Someone just gave me a secret with a trigger warning listed for a whole movie. No. You are doing triggers wrong.

TWO, RFTM. Or the FAQs, at least.
They're right here: http://community.livejournal.com/fandomsecrets/104153.html
- Why isn't my secret up!?!? Question 4.
- Why is the subs post closed!?!? Question 9.
- How come my second secret got posted before the first!? Is it lost!?!? Question 7.
- HOW DOES I JOINED!? IT'S THE FIRST QUESTION.

This is pretty easy shit to understand.

I honestly don't get how you're fucking it up, people.

Is that a table flipping emoticon. My life is complete.

BUT I REALLY REALLY WANT TO JOIN

I would assume that by now many of the 'How do I join??!!??' type questions are simply to wind

technophile up.

Mudkips (mudkips, really?) are not a common trigger.

I just died laughing

LOL, mudkips? o_O

I get like one a week and they're from legit users.

Most of them are really nice about it but aeghaektgH THERE IS A HUGE GIANT "CLICK THIS FIRST" link in the userinfo. HOW DO YOU MISS THISSSSSsss

This post would make me LOL, if it wasn't so depressingly reflective of the general populous.

Though I would sell my soul to meet someone who admits to being triggered by mudkips.

TRIGGER WARNING: FANDOM!!!11

... You put up with so much for our sake.

Thank you!

Then it's true. There is no hope for humanity.

Probably, but I swear there are people out there who genuinely do not know how to join and yet they own a lj.

Someone just gave me a secret with a trigger warning listed for a whole movie

Was the movie The Human Centipede? Because then I would agree that movie needs to be warned for.

God damn.

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE FREAKED OUT BY SPIDER PICTURES shouldn't that have a trigger warning?

also y'know, i've been trying to join f!s for a while but it keeps saying membership is closed............................

It was ONE OF THEM (sadly there were more than one) and it didn't have anything disturbing in the image. With that movie, warn for gore, warn for torture, warn for what's IN it, but the TITLE is not going to help anybody who hasn't heard of the movie.

Mudkips (mudkips, really?)

Sigh.

But isn't the name a trigger in itself. How in hell do you warn for something like that without it being a trigger?

(Also - LOL Mudkips)

SIGH phobia != trigger

and stop trollin

Blanket Post Trigger Warning: The pitfalls of mankind will, mostly likely, be present in the following secrets.

For those of us who are disturbed by things like that.

triggers are not things that disturb you, pls try again

But I get nightmares. ):

): talk to a professional
