I thought it'd be a joke about suppressors

[–]BloodMoney126 14ポイント15ポイント  (2子コメント)

No because suppressors are part of the rape culture that is patriarchy. The surpressor rapes the gun. Plus the gun is being oppressed.

      It's got to a weird point for me, obviously it's just a joke but doesn't it trivialise a rather serious issue? Where I live trigger warnings are shown before movies (Sexual violence, violence, flashing lights etc.) for good reason, I know that from personal experience.

      Obviously there is a group out there which has provoked such a response and I guess the mocking is just towards them but it seems to me that the mocking will inadvertantly affect people with no interest of the politics which seems like a bad thing.

      Feminists aren't all the 'trigger variety' if you will...

      It annoys me what the idea of a feminist is now on the internet. People are just determined to see the worst side of it because they are all to happy to let over-vocal idiots misrepresent the basic concepts behind feminism.

      In any case, what you're saying is nothing but mean-spirited, maybe people who are 'triggered' really do go through anguish, even if it's self-induced or in some way dumb. You wouldn't go up to a stranger with issues in the street and start yelling loudly in their face because 'they're shit'.

      [–]dogeatgod888 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

      A "trigger" is a PTSD response. It's not specific to survivors of rape or sexual abuse (or "feminists," as this thread is calling them for whatever reason). War vets are easily triggered too.

      [–]GunShow124 17ポイント18ポイント  (21子コメント)

      You know, I think this is the #1 problem with the internet. Because all these various affiliations and groups don't have any sort of cohesion, a couple radical and over-vocal people can ruin the perception of that group very easily. When you start to look at the non-idiots, you begin to see the bigger picture - I myself almost consider myself a feminist, because I know what the reality behind it is.

      Another prime example: I am a religious guy. Born and raised Catholic, and Catholic by choice. What pisses me off more than anything is when people say "I hate religion because it is so intolerant and backwards" when 95% of the Church is tolerant and relatively progressive. It is the 5% of people who go out saying "God hates fags" or "You will go to hell if you aren't abstinent" that ruin our reputation.

      If you control for confounders I'm sure it goes down. Most black people are poor, but if you meet a black person in a suburb they're probably well off. 99% of the Christians I've met are pretty tolerant and intelligent, just like 99% of the people I've met because I live in an upper middle class liberal bubble.

      Or in other words, it's not that Christians are intolerant, it's that there are few (read: basically none) poor and uneducated atheists.

      [–]Groggeroo 7ポイント8ポイント  (9子コメント)

      I wanted to point out at least once in this thread that you are likely a feminist if you think you are almost one!

      While there is a widespread misguided notion that feminists are angry women with a hate on for penis, the definition is much simpler:

      "Belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes." or "The movement organized around this belief." (The American Heritage Dictionary)

      [–]tmrxwoot 2ポイント3ポイント  (5子コメント)

      My girlfriend is a feminist, and I support her 100%. I understand the vocal minority can ruin a groups reputation, and I believe that is what has happened to a lot of well intentioned groups.

      However, I have a problem not with the definition of feminism, but the term itself. What I don't understand is how the term feminism became the new term for what we already call equality. Feminism is about gender neutrality. Why not use a gender neutral term to describe it?

      [–]galaxoid 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

      Because of the history behind the movement; feminism was about getting women all the rights that men had. It wasn't about making them more than that. Nowadays it might seem otherwise—sure, you could be a feminist and just call it gender equality, but it is such a widely known and used term that it's kind of hard to reverse at this point.

      [–]AppleEngi 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

      That's actually a really good explanation for why people keep using that term in lieu of equality. Although I myself don't personally agree with using "feminism" synonymously with "equality," it helps to know the reason people keep using it as such.

      [–]regenzeus 1ポイント2ポイント  (3子コメント)

      But if they say "I hate religion because it is so intolerant and backwards" they are right...

      -Within the 10 commandments women are listed as property.

      -Acording to the Bible women can not preach or teach.

      -You can just google really sexist shit in the bible and there is a lot...

      There is so much very sexist shit in there and it is like this in most religons.

      95% of the church may be tolerant (I think this number is far too high). But that may not be because of christianity but despite christianity. I just don't see much "tolerant and relatively progressive" stuff that is in the bible. And if there is there are 10 fucked up verses for every one that is fine.

      Typically, the term "trigger" is used to identify something that would induce a panic attack or flashbacks upon someone who suffers from "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder"(PTSD).

      It's unfortunately a term overused, or unjustified, in some communities. On Reddit, the best known example of this would be some of the louder communities of Tumblr, who often use the term "trigger". Although, it is believed that many do not suffer from PTSD, but instead use it as an exaggeration of how strongly the subject would make them react.

      Trigger Warnings, a book by Neil Gaiman. Award winning author. In the intro of this book he discusses his conflict with Trigger Warnings and states, clearly, that the book has many trigger warnings and lables them out for his readers.

      If this term has no clout, no backing, and is only used in jest and insult then why the hell is a world famous writer's book published with that title and intent? Did he read all the circle jerks and misunderstand? Somehow I doubt that he's a regular redditor.

      If that kind of term has hit book store shelves, which it has, from that kind of author with that much clout, then you can't really claim that it's something that doesn't get said.

      [–]theOpressor 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

      "Trauma triggers" is a psychological term that has been bastardized recently. They're certain kind of stimuli that bring about serious and uncontrollable emotional reactions in individuals with a history of trauma, particularly those suffering from PTSD. To be subject to trigger warnings just is a sign of mental unhealth, which is why traditionally therapy has been to heal trauma victims by controlled exposure to triggers, and not mere avoidance. Trigger warnings are designed to help those especially vulnerable to certain stimuli avoid them in general while, ideally at the same time, learning to cope with them through controlled exposure in counseling. A rape survivor, for example, taking a college course in philosophy on Sexuality or Love and the like, might wish to excuse him or herself when a discussion of consent arises because s/he only feels comfortable discussing anything related to sexual violence or violation with his or her therapist while s/he works through his or her issues. A trigger warning might not be necessary though, as a glance through the syllabus would surely suffice. That being said, the trigger warning in this case is not the responsibility of the educator, however, but the victim, in so far as s/he is responsible for warning the educator about what triggers him or her. The bastardized use flips the responsibility: educators are responsible for warning all students---victim or not, known or unknown---about potentially triggering material.

      The problem with this usage is that it becomes flippant for two reasons: 1) when the desire for a trigger warning is not made for medical reasons, but for fear of emotional discomfort (perhaps of the sort people feel when watching an extremely uncomfortable scene in The Office, or a horror movie) and 2) when the demands of trigger warnings make unreasonable demands upon educators and content providers rather than the victim.

      The first problem is just a case of a slippery slope. If a non-rape victim takes the same course described above, but has particularly strong feelings about the topic of rape to the point that s/he considers reasoned disagreement about consent to be something so abhorrent and morally reprehensible that she feels physically upset by the discussion, then s/he might feel entitled to claim, on the grounds of emotional distress, that s/he has been "triggered." Is her claim to "emotional distress" as strong as the actual rape victim's? Some people say yes, some people say no. There are clear cases and there are unclear cases, and we have to decide as a society how uncomfortable we have to warn people they might become upon entering certain discussions and environments. When the slope has been gone down even further though, and cases of desiring "trigger warnings" are even more frivolous, lots of people end up feeling that it has been fully misused, bastardized, and trivialized. Hence, the joke above.

      The second problem concerns the demands that frivolous trigger warnings puts on others. You could do things one of two ways for that class: either a student who is a rape victim or is especially affected by language of sexual violence (putting aside the question of why s/he would be in the class in the first place) should warn the professor of his or her condition, and arrange some kind of alternate form of assessment, or whatever arrangement the two parties agree on. The second way of doing things is for the professor to elaborately warn all students about "potentially triggering" material with "trigger warnings," wholly unaware of who in the class would actually be affected by it. The first way, I think, is ideal, and shows maturity and judgment on the part of the student. The second is useful as well, at least for gratuitously disturbing material. A professor of mine, for example, showed a horror movie in class, and warned us all and very understandingly explained, "if you don't like or can't handle horror movies---which is totally fine---you don't have to come to these lessons and you can do this alternative assignment instead." To me, that's not really a "trigger warning"---since it's not in a psychological context---but it's certainly a disclaimer, and those are entirely appropriate in like circumstances.

      The flip-side is when people are wholly aware of the content and demand to then be warned about it. Recall the recent incident with Christina Hoff-Sommers speaking at Georgetown University. There, a popular feminist scholar with decidedly unpopular opinions among many feminists was demanded by students to issue "trigger warnings" for her talk, entitled "What's Right (and wrong) with Feminism." Again, everybody knows what this woman believes already, but some students insisted that she add a "trigger warning"---really a "disclaimer"---claiming that her lecture might potentially upset some students. This gratuitous use of trigger warnings exemplifies both problems I mentioned: the slippery slope and the unreasonable demands on others. On the one hand, exposure to opinions you don't find appealing is why you should be in college in the first place, especially a top liberal arts college. Merely finding some opinion "unsavory" shouldn't be grounds for avoidance. Much less, on the other hand, should it be grounds for having those who you disagree with---without having heard the actual arguments for the opposing position---warn you that you "might be disagreed with," which is the only purpose the trigger warning of Hoff-Sommer's talk would have served.

      tl;dr - it's complicated. there are reasonable uses and there are gratuitous uses. there are confusions about what emotions and opinions ought to be respected or discounted. there are confusions about what demands to put on individuals and institutions. My personal opinion: educational institutions would be better off if people didn't use it so much, and the responsibility shifted more to the students.

      Feminists get "triggered" by people saying things like "rape" because it makes them think back to the time they did if they got raped. And that just happens if they read the word. But some have taken it to the extreme. For example, some say the word "fat" is triggering because it puts their mind on them being fat or society not accepting fat people, etc.

      But it's ultimately up to the responsibility of the person with a legitimate trigger to avoid them. We can't as a society create a healthy environment where literally anything potentially or predicted to be "triggering" to somebody somewhere about something is censored. It sucks if they do have PTSD, and on an individual basis family and friends can help them out of situations that trigger, but society can't be responsible for that. There is no much variation and possibilities.

      Not to mention that people are tired of hearing all the crap about illegitimate triggers, where twitter triggered a person apparently.

      No one wants to put a "trigger" warning on every single item, event, or conversation. It's impractical and defeats the entire purpose of a warning.

      Trigger warnings are used for things which have been widely shown to be a common denominator for triggering panic from PTSD or sexual assault. Sometimes if a scene will randomly have someone's head blown off, veterans with PTSD could be triggered into a state of panic, so it's useful to give a warning before a video or film saying it might trigger PTSD.

      This is totally reasonable and has been blown way out of proportion by a very small but vocal minority of arm chair psychologists and more commonly by circle jerking and complaining about those arm chair psychologists.

      In real life, trigger warnings are taken seriously and helpful, unlike on reddit and other parts of the Internet.

      Some people have serious psychiatric or medical conditions that can be triggered by certain stimuli. These people, especially if they're really sensitive such as with PTSD, some types of epilepsy, or severe allergic reactions, ought to be given courtesy and consideration in public places that might trigger symptoms. If it's just uncomfortable feelings though and not a serious episode of a real mental illness, then I agree, either suck it up or leave the place that's giving you the issue, don't make it everyone else's problem.

      While I agree the whole triggers thing is crazy, how did it come to be associated with feminists? The two shouldn't have anything to do with each other.

      I guess it's been used to portray feminists in a certain light: angry, fearful and uptight

      I'm not too familiar with the history of trigger warnings, but I believe some group of feminists came up with it first.

      Somewhat relevant

      How is it crazy? It's a simple cognitive bond between something and a traumatic event whereas thinking of a causes you to think of b. It's not anything new.

      What I meant was, I think expecting the public world to avoid potential triggers is crazy. That's usually what people are referring to when they bring up the 'triggers' meme. Literally anyone could be triggered by anything for any reason, and while I would feel sympathetic to someone who was, it simply isn't possible to avoid all triggers. There could be a rape victim who is triggered by the word "cloud", there could be a soldier with PTSD who can't stand the smell of bacon. It isn't right to try and pad the world free of triggers, and any psychologist would tell you it isn't healthy to expect others to avoid your own triggers.

      It's not an expectation of others to avoid triggers, it's a kind gesture like holding a door is.

      [–]moeburn 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

      If you have a friend who you know can't handle loud noises, then it's a kind gesture to avoid clapping around them. If you're hosting an event and you tell people to avoid clapping just in case it might trigger someone you don't know, that's messed up.

      Explanation of the joke to non English speakers plz....

      [–]BhiQ 5ポイント6ポイント  (4子コメント)

      trigger can mean the part of a gun that you press to shoot or something that can cause someone with a mental disorder to have bad feelings like hearing a machine gun sound in a movie for someone with PTSD, having to introduce yourself to a group of strangers for someone with social anxiety, etc

      [–]Earth_Korn 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

      I'm a native english speaker and I have no idea what this means. So don't feel bad for not getting it. Even after reading the explanation I still don't get it.

      This haiku is perfect to display how flawed english haikus can get: It's 5-7-5 syllables, but 16-18-18 letters in 8-10-11 morae. The length of the lines doesn't fit to the pacing of the poem, despite being technically correct.

      honestly, If I saw a rad fem with a gun I would not even get close to them... I mean... you as a male just have to walk past them on a public street to be found guilty in their minds of "raping them violently"

      A trigger is something that "triggers" or causes a bad emotion in someone. For example if someone was talking about domestic violence and someone had been abused then it might be a trigger for them, same with rape. Feminists are stereotyped to have a lot of triggers because some women who were raped or victims of domestic violence become feminists. A gun has a trigger, its a play on words. Feminists don't want to touch a gun because it has a trigger.

      But you know what they say, a joke is like a frog, if you need to dissect it, it has to die.
