Re: Fandom and Anxiety

[(Anonymous)]

I'll tag things that I know people have common phobias of as "trigger warnings," ex. tw: spiders or tw: snakes. I don't tag them because "omg it might trigger someone and they'll have an episode or something," I tag them because I know someone following me might be afraid of it and don't want to scare them unintentionally. I've seen someone irl freak out at a harmless picture of a tarantula popping up on their dash before, so I know that if I can make something easy to Savior, it will help. But I don't needlessly slap tws on everything I post. I'm just being courteous to my followers who don't find certain animals cute.

In that case, wouldn't tagging these posts with "spiders" and "snakes" suffice for the purpose of Savior-ing? What's the point of slapping "tw" on them? Freaking out at a picture of a tarantula is not the same thing as having a trauma trigger.

da

Here's the thing: "trigger warning" is becoming an internet synonym for "warning." You could try to popularize the use of plain old "warning" instead, but "tw" is short and easy, so people have gravitated to it. That's just what's happening now.

Re: Fandom and Anxiety

That's exactly the complaint at the start of this thread, though? That use of "trigger" has become frivolous?

Re: Fandom and Anxiety

Incidentally those of us who warned about the over-use of trigger warnings diluting their effect and were shouted down by SJWs who kept claiming it was only polite to warn for everything because it took so little effort to type a few words and got no back up from the rest of the F!S comm, we totally called this situation. Can we be listened to next time the SJWs do something stupid please.

Agreed with anon above. Just tag "snake". I assure you if someone is scared of snakes, they will tumblr-save the "snakes" tag. I feel that putting "tw" in front of it diminishes the meaning of actual triggers. (Not that this isn't already happening, but don't contribute to it, please...)
