I fail to see how over-warning (in your opinion) is a bad thing.

(Anonymous) 2012-05-26 11:05 am (UTC)(link)
It devalues the real warnings, and the whole system of warnings, leaving them open to mocking and for people to then legitimately not warn for the real stuff because they are overused and devalued. Over doing anything is bad for that same reason.

This.

It's like the boy who cried wolf.

In my city they decided to change the meaning of "tornado warning" to basically make it equal to a "tornado watch" where if conditions were stormy, there would be a siren and a warning issued. People started not taking it seriously. They no longer had any *real* "warning" for "holy shit guys there's a funnel cloud go to your basement NOW". I think they switched it back (I hope so) but obviously it's a dangerous system.

Obviously that's not a perfect analogy, but any time you over-expand the meaning of a warning, you devalue the warning and cause people to be far less likely to take it seriously when it appears.

How about we just teach people to understand what a warning is. For some people, misogyny IS triggering, and if someone wants to take that into account, why should they be belittled for it?

The 'boy who cried wolf' comparison only works if it's something that is not triggering to anyone ever.

That is possibly the dumbest thing I ever read here

Everything is a trigger for someone

Right now someone is curled in a foetal ball because I haven't used full stops, and someone else is on the phone to the suicide hotline because I said full stops and not periods

We don't warn for the inconsequential other wise warnings are meaningless, that means we have to start reeling those warnings back in a bit from the wall of text they so often are

Misogyny isn't meaningless.

warning for it is
