Warning! Danger, Will Robinson!

Triggers triggering a trigger:

Everyday Feminism definitely believes in giving people a heads up about material that might provoke our reader’s trauma. However, we use the phrase “content warning” instead of “trigger warning,” as the word “trigger” relies on and evokes violent weaponry imagery. This could be re-traumatizing for folks who have suffered military, police, and other forms of violence. So, while warnings are so necessary and the points in this article are right on, we strongly encourage the term “content warning” instead of “trigger warning.”


So now you can't even warn anyone you're about to potentially trigger them with a micro-aggression without triggering them with a micro-aggression. You might even "re-traumatize" them. I guess that makes them pre-traumatized "folks"...

The Left have officially departed the reservation. Out of the building. Over the cuckoo's nest. El loco. Gone.
