Fuck yes, agreed. Once we've learned the difference between "a trigger" and "a thing that makes me uncomfortable," maybe we can even level up to the difference between "a trigger" and "a thing that makes me upset." Because holy balls, you mean not all warnings have to be trigger warnings, and "hey I was not expecting this and found it deeply upsetting" might just possibly be a valid emotional response even when it's not dressed up in appropriated SJ language and trivializing PTSD? Inconceivable.

I mean, yeah, it's not ALWAYS valid or requiring of consideration; people pitch tantrums over trivial shit and it's not the internet's job to spare them Teh Horror of, say, getting spoilered for a book older than their grandmother. But that is why humans have judgement! I think that too often, spurious demands for trigger warnings are a way to shut down any sort of discussion or judgement call by saying "You are MORALLY OBLIGATED to comply with my demands, now put that thing down before you trigger someone or so help me--"

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I am down with like 99.8% of the posts/fics involving sexual assault that I come across, but infrequently I'll run into something downright upsetting and spend the rest of the night stewing and/or feeling really oodgy. And in the unlikely case that someone totally dismissed a quick "hey, can you put this behind a cut?" because I wasn't having fucking flashbacks (or didn't abuse the magic T-word to claim that I was), I think I would spontaneously grow the ability to punch people in the face through the internet. I may not have any triggers that can be set off by words on a screen (I might not have any at all, depending on whether "oh shit, the identical zombie twin of my post-assault emotional state just snuck up and bear-hugged me" in response to RL stimuli counts), but JFC, triggers are not the only reason survivors--or anyone, really--might want a warning on upsetting shit.
