There are no common triggers. Everyone's trigger is specific to them and their trauma. PTSD is not the same as just feeling icky when you are squicked, though a lot of people seem to be conflating them together.

So what you have is a lot of people who genuinely have PTSD who aren't being given any trigger warning because their trigger is for something like the words "Hey baby." And other people who are not triggered are complaining that the lack of trigger warnings, or wrong trigger warnings and making a huge confusing fuss about what needs to be warned for and what doesn't.

I'm not making this up -- this actually happened on a meme, multiple times, with people with actual PTSD triggers chiming in saying this wasn't helpful to them.

As to why may someone with a trigger read a non-con fic -- a lot of rape victims have non-con kinks. They may enjoy reading most non-con, just not one with that one particular thing in it. I was talking with someone the other day about them being triggered by a noncon fic and saying that normally she enjoy them, but the way the characters talked in that one fic triggered her.

I understand that you want a safe space that is geared towards your wishes -- I think we'd all like that, but you and I just two people, and ultimately it is not everyone else's responsibility to go out of their way to provide us that. Especially in this case, where it is demonstratively impossible for fandom to comply.

You know, I like you. You always have really well thought out comments, you address things calmly, and you're generally a pretty pleasant human being. I even agree with you most of the time.

This is not one of those times. :/
