Too fucking much. Triggers are now "anything that makes me uncomfortable mildly annoyed" instead of "things that trigger my violently crippling flashbacks"

ftfm

It sucks because trigger warning do have a valid place in fandom but with so many people distorting the meaning a lot of people are rolling their eyes at the whole idea. Like, stop helping doods!

I remember recently linking an article about war crimes on my journal and wondering what the hell warnings to attach to it, because it really did cover all the bases as regards things that are considered warnable in fandom. All of them. I just said 'this is about war crimes', in the end. It was just weird feeling like I was neither comfortable warning nor not warning. /coolstory

MTE.
I have PTSD. I have triggers, in the flashback-horror-anxiety sense. (They're not anything anyone in fandom typically warns for, but I'm in a really small fandom, and after a polite note about it, near everyone is kind enough - not obligated - to let me know if it's included.) But I can't help but feel like my experiences are so much harder to explain with the proliferation of "triggered" meaning "hurt feelings". I don't even feel comfortable using the word "trigger" to describe them anymore, even in spaces where the meaning of the word is known.

So not only is it annoying to feel required to label every little thing just in case, but I think it can be actively harmful to people like, well, me.
