Trigger Warning

Most trigger warnings are genuinely stupid and unhelpful. The internet isn't your safe haven. It never has been and it never will be. The internet is unfriendly and not catered to your needs. By expecting trigger warnings you feed into a delusional reality that doesn't reflect the real world. Even on the internet, many things are unavoidable. Life is often times shitty. Life is often times triggering. The internet is much the same way.

Studies have shown that trigger warnings don't really help alleviate anything. Especially because with trigger warnings, you aren't learning to cope with anything. You're avoiding a problem. If you spend all your time online being catered to by trigger warnings, when you get into the real world and triggering shit happens, what will you do? It's basically just coddling.

Of course, some trigger warnings make sense. Epilepsy/flash warnings, warnings for things like suicide or murder or graphic violence? They make sense. But trigger warnings on shit like bands, shows, movies, and other people's bodies? That's nonsense. 

If you genuinely can't handle things, you should be seeking help. Get off the internet and get help. 

Don't create a cesspool that keeps dragging you down into chronically online-ness.
