What is up with anti-sjws weird obsession with trigger warnings? (self.TheBluePill)

HighOctaneNightmare が 投稿

Why is the concept of being "triggered" constantly roped into all sorts of anti-progressive discussions, far more than it's actually referenced by feminists? Content warnings are so easy to ignore it honestly kind of baffles me how one would be seriously offended by them.

I personally find it deliciously ironic that the people who shout "Did I trigger you snowflake?" are so thin-skinned you can read newspapers behind them. They blow up into aggressive bullshit so fast when they get triggered by, I dunno, reading about a woman having a job or a black dude not getting spat on or something. Now who's the snowflake, Flash? NOW WHO'S THE SNOWFLAKE?

It's a case of using the extremists to judge the whole group. Some feminists (I'm talking like less than 1%) are triggered by the most random shit for the most ludicrous reasons. This gives the right fodder to mock, keeps the center feeling unwelcome (how would you feel if someone freaked out because of your race or gender?) and even pisses off a lot of the left because trigger warnings were originally for serious content such as rape or domestic violence.

Edit: Here's an example of the sort of thing I'm talking about

I used to know someone on Tumblr would always add tags to most ridiculous stuff, my favorite being some fan art of Fili and Kill from the Hobbit with labels like "siblings" and "facial hair". I'd known that person since her LiveJournal days, and she was honestly just hopelessly socially awkward (even online) and quite frankly, not very bright. She just latched on to smarter, cooler people in hopes of catching some of their spill-over popularity, and for a while, being as politically correct as possible was how to fit it with the cool kids. The other Tumblr users she was reblogging were the type who thrived on bossing everyone else around and publicly shaming them when they stood their ground.

So, I totally get the resentment toward idiots like that. But I also think the difference between being triggered by fruit and being triggered by rape should be pretty damb obvious.

Because there are people that don't have PTSD that will use "this triggers me" to exit a conversation and feel superior, they feel that all people that talk about triggers are doing that.

I have literally never seen that even once in years of discussing feminism online. And how do you even know if they have PTSD or not? Why would you "feel superior" at having to end a conversation because something the other party said made you relive a traumatizing memory?

I haven't seen it while discussing feminism. I've seen it in chatrooms, on tumblr notes, and in real life in discussions that have nothing to do with feminism. It's rare to find someone that acts like that, but that is what I see this anti-progressive sentiment aimed at.

I didn't feel it necessary for the first comment, but looking at the downvotes I suppose it's required: I don't agree with those people. I don't like using this card but I do have a PTSD diagnosis. Belittling the struggles of people that suffer with PTSD is not OK.
