You're trolling right?

[(Anonymous)]

No, and the fact that I antipicated replies like yours speaks to the amount that tokophobia is taken seriously. That image caught me off guard and I felt extremely nauseous and horrified. But no one gives a shit because "you should think it's beautiful, what's wrong with you?"

[(Anonymous)]

I think that picture is incredibly disturbing but I don't go through life expecting to be shielded from things that may disturb, upset, or outright horrify me.

[(Anonymous)]

I certainly don't, but all the same, it's worth asking for a little warning first, at least here. No one would post explicit scenes of childbirth, for example, on f!s without warning first, so a warning for tokophobia seems only polite.

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

Do you expect pregnant women IRL to come with warnings too?

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

Lol, I wish!

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

I get triggered by trigger warnings so I expect a trigger warni...oh wait.

I don't go through life expecting to be shielded from things that may disturb, upset, or outright horrify me.

This. The world is not bubble-wrapped for anyone's convenience.

Apiphobic, here. Images of bees/wasps do literally make me flinch/cringe. But...so? Scroll past, get on with day. If OP's thing gives them a worse physical reaction than mine, that sucks, but this is not a thing that is 'warned' for in any popular media, let alone real life, and if it's something you can't handle, that's crippling enough that you might want to work on it.

(It's only in the past couple of years that I've stopped wearing coats and gloves for the entirety of summer because of the bee thing, and as you can imagine it was extremely embarrassing and limiting of my life. Do yourself a favor and work it out sooner instead of later.)

[kittenmommy]

I feel the same way about spiders. *shudder* But it doesn't limit my life the way it sounds like your bee phobia did. I'm glad you're getting better!

[(Anonymous)]

Kudos for sticking to your guns troll-y, but 0/10 for the entire ridiculous premise.

[kallanda_lee]

What do you think is ridiculous - requesting the trigger warning, or the pregnancy phobia? Because I assure you the latter is a real thing.

[kallanda_lee]

No, tokophobia is a real thing. That picture creeps the hell out of me, too.

Though I do believe trigger warning for every little thing are silly.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree, that's not possible. But i think if it's a well-known phobia, like trypophobia, people respect it and trigger for it. But for less well known ones, it's like "lol just suck it up, we can't TW for EVERYTHING"

[kallanda_lee]

My view on it is just that both on the internet and in real life there will always be things that trigger people. I don't really have "triggers" in that sense, but there are things that can quite affect me (like suicide, or self harm) because some of my own experiences. It really depends on how it's presented to me, but I don't really think it's everyone else responsibility to keep that stuff away from me.

That being said, it sucks if your tokophobia isn't taken seriously.

[kittenmommy]

I don't really think it's everyone else responsibility to keep that stuff away from me.

This. I don't understand why more people don't get this.

There are things that upset me, too, but that's life.

I sometimes wonder how some people on the 'net manage to function in the real world.

[kallanda_lee]

Badly? I have a friend who has a phobia of TV's...I'm not kidding. She won't go into a place if a TV might be on. Two years ago I went bowling with my friends on my birthday and she wouldn't go in because the bowling hall had screens. I mean, it really badly impacts her life because it's EVERYWHERE. I try take it into account when planning things with her, but it's impossible to foresee entirely, because screens are everywhere.

[kittenmommy]

She should probably seek counseling, because it's obviously interfering with her life.

[kallanda_lee]

She probably should, but she's one of those people who thinks the world needs fixing, not her.

To be fair I know where it comes from - she has autism and has gotten a lot of bullshit/lack of understanding for that...it's just that "fixing" some things would make her life so much easier. And I do not think the phobia is even related to the autism.

[(Anonymous)]

It does suck but what you fear is to most people a pretty innocuous thing. Seven Billion+ of us on this earth and all. I'm sorry for what you go through but warning for things that are a perfectly normal part of the sphere of human existence really is a bit far to go.

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you for being understanding. I have to ask, though, by that logic, explicit images of childbirth are A-OK to not warn for on this site? Even if they don't include genitalia [say, a newborn covered in all the pleasantries of birth]? It's perfectly normal and natural.

[(Anonymous)]

That's not something most people will ever see. But a pregnant woman is something that nearly everyone on the planet will see multiple times in their life. Tokophobia affects such a small portion of the population and pregnancy is so common that it just isn't a reasonable thing to warn for.

[(Anonymous)]

This. You can't very well expect people to tag things 'Warning: perfectly ordinary human life.'

[hwc]

In that case I think it's more the blood people object to/would warn for, rather than the birth itself. Post a picture with a woman obviously in labour but keep her genitalia and the blood-covered newborn out of view and most people won't object.


A birth is a joyous occasion for most people, or at least society as a whole views it as such, which is why most people don't realise that there might be something upsetting about giving birth/pregnancy.

[(Anonymous)]

It's not my site to be dictating where some big warning line for everyone is to be drawn. We all put our lines in different places. I probably wouldn't think twice about a gooey newborn because I work in hospitals and it's nothing new to me. But just like you did here, in most of my circles you're free to request a warning if you feel the need.
