"Trigger warnings" trigger
ME. Unless it's a movie and there's something that to my mind, is legit ("flashing lights may cause epileptic seizures") the rest is just bollocks.
And yes,
I know, that will make me enormously unpopular. Because the entire world has to cater to everybody's various and sundry issues, emotions, neuroses, and on and on and on.
Don't care. I'm not "triggered" by people being unhappy with me.
