Also here on F!S: most any time anyone complains about a problematic kink, there are at least twenty people going, "Oh, fucking SJ Warriors, when will this SJ movement in fandom die already?"
There's the fact that people here are still mocking a "large reptile warning" on Shakesville, even though that was pretty obviously a "I know this is one of my own friends' personal, highly specific triggers" thing, not a "Oh, people will ask for warnings for anything" thing.
You could make a drinking game out of how many times people feel the need to say "no1curr" on any serious-issues-in-fandom secret.
You could also make a drinking game based on "YKINMK" and its variations. Arguing with an acronym is pretty dismissive. :-/ It says, "Your pain is not even worth engaging with for more than ten letters."
And that's just here on F!S. Anyone but me remember zvi's three-page, five-hundred-person clusterfuck comparing triggers to allergies and requests for warnings to asking a cook for her special secret recipe? Or the assholes who trolled impertinence's post about what a trigger is, saying she was clinging to her victim status and shouldn't even be in fandom? Or the miscegenation wank on daily_deviant a few years ago? (That one was fun. It ended up on F_W, with people mocking the people who were offended by it roughly as much as they were mocking the people who had done the offending.)
ETA: BTW, if I had to guess, this secret is in response to this thread: http://fandomsecrets.livejournal.com/682799.html?thread=435978799#t435978799
