Re: Most ridiculous "trigger warnings"?

[(Anonymous)]

For written work, basically anything other than the major ones like rape and child abuse.

For images I have more patience and understanding because viewing it happens so instantaneously and there is no backing up out of it. At that point I think things like blood, gore, etc. are totally reasonable.

Other than stuff like that, though, I think "trigger" warnings have gotten so ridiculous across the board that MOST of them defeat the purpose, harm most of the people they're supposedly to "protect" by coddling them out of any ability to function in the real world, and all too often wind up serving as weaponized social justice excuses to "call out" anyone not wringing their hands sufficiently over the victimization complex so much of fandom has going on.

Recently "gendered slurs" has been my, er, rage-prompting favorite. If you get genuine psychological trauma from the mere sight of the word bitch, holy god but do you need to get the fuck off the internet and seek help.

Re: Most ridiculous "trigger warnings"?

Yeah, I don't think it's unreasonable to tag blood and gore. Even if you're not "triggered" by it, a lot of people don't want to see that stuff for obvious reasons. But I follow a lot of metal blogs, so I'm pretty used to scrolling down and, oh, there's Dead with his brains spilling out. Again.

My least favorite trigger warning is "food". Not diets, even, which could potentially trigger someone recovering from an eating disorder. Just...a post that says "Here's what I ate for lunch!" is tagged with a trigger warning for "food". If someone calmly discussing a sandwich is a trigger for you, you probably need to be inpatient. :/ No, I'm not exaggerating. That sounds like someone who's not prepared to function normally in society.
