Trigger Warning

Warna Brotha! FACT ALERT:
A "Trigger" is a term in psychology that decribes a thing that sets off a psychotic fit in people who suffer from PTSD. In other words: It was meant for people who have went through war, rape and near death experiences, not teenage tranny bloggers offended by gay jokes.

Trigger warnings are what happens when a gaggle of sensitive snowflakes are dropped into an echo chamber and left to their own devices. Used to alert readerships to upcoming offensive and emotionally intense content, trigger warnings are like smelling salts for those too emotionally fragile to leave their basements and so much as look upon anything that may make their delicate little hearts uncomfortable.

Trigger Warnings: Because people are offended by pictures of food.

Trigger warning: may contain that stuff on the label.
It figures that tumblr users would be triggered by 'the R-word'.

Trigger warnings have become quite popular across the lighter, more female-dominated parts of the interweb, such as tumblr and Fandom Secrets. Places like these have become a haven to miscreants such as asexuals, women, vegans, and liberals. While these forms of 'oppressed' peoples seem to self-fellate for being strong and independent, they still manage to have panic attacks upon gazing upon frightening images, such as two transexuals holding a water can or a clothes iron (because clothes irons are a symbol of patriarchal oppression!). The commonly-accepted reasoning for the prevalence of the trigger warning is that every female or minority has formed PTSD from being abused as children ("my mom wouldn't let me dress like an anime character so middle aged women give me panic attacks"), or from cyberbullying. Of course, anybody who hasn't been lobotomized by Reddit or Facebook can see that self-proclaimed "minorities" put up trigger warnings to draw attention to the tough things they've had to deal with in their long, experience-filled lives.

The consequence of ignoring a trigger warning.

While most trigger warnings appear before the super-edgy posts that they refer to, some appear after images with detailed descriptions of the image in question. This variation has two functions: it aids sight-disabled social justice warriors, because text is apparently easier to see than an image, and it allows oppressed folks to read about what the image is through the slits between their fingers so they aren't confronted with the horrifying image itself.

It's fairly evident that nobody is actually deterred from viewing content that has a trigger warning; if anything, it serves as a way to alert readers to a piece of juicy, drama-filled content. Of course, the social justice warriors adamantly suggest that people can indeed be 'triggered' by reading stories about bad things, and so trigger warnings remain prevalent online.
