"triggerd !!1!"

[Alienfish]

I'm an artist on Tumblr, and some of my works have gore in them, so I have to leave a trigger warning there. I think the "triggered" term refers more to very petty things that people complain about, especially on Tumblr. If you were to say you were triggered by men looking at you, then yeah, you're being triggered over nothing. Whereas if you were triggered over gore or sexual violence, it's understandable and nobody should be made to look a fool.

Yeah, indeed. Of course it's considerate to put NSFW or a warning if you do common things that applies to that like gore or things but yeah people complaining or tiny things or can't handle because they decide to look at it still is stupid.

Honestly it doesn't really bother me but probably because I use it myself. It's just one phrase. I can see why people get annoyed by the fact that trigger warnings are a different thing entirely though.

As someone who suffers from PTSD it's not funny. I'm fortunate to only have PTSD triggered events about once a year now but it's still horrifying (considering I usually get sick and then pass out and it sometimes happens in public). Seeing someone make fun of PTSD makes me really upset and I don't think it's ever appropriate.

i dont really care

but at the end of the day these jokes (again, like the "I identify as an attack helicopter!!" one) originated from somewhere, and it wasn't to mock trauma victims and mentally ill people.

I haven't read the rest of the thread yet but I just want to say the attack helicopter thing that you see now is a remake of a copypasta from like 2-3 years ago that originated on TF2 and considering how fast it spread to Reddit and 4chan I can guarantee you it was to make fun of trans/mentally ill people because those were and are the type of people to frequent those three places lol

I didn't know the origin, only the context it's used in since it gained popularity but it seems to me that, like i said before, it was made to mock/ in retaliation to certain types of people, and not trans or mentally ill people in general.

I also don't really agree with using "triggered!" to mock and joke people, especially if it's something that is a joke in poor taste or about something serious.

Putting it bluntly, I think it's insensitive and immature in my opinion. Then again, it is the internet and there will always be those a-holes that have nothing better to do with their time than to harass other people online and start comment battles.

 

[Hopeless Opus]

we say it at my lunch table sometimes. we aren't really saying it to specifically attack people with triggers, someone just said it one day and it became an unsaid trend among us so yeah. i will say it though but not with bad intentions of making fun of others with actual triggers.

exactly me and people think I'm evil when they didn't even let me finish stating in what way

Honestly I think it was made with that intent and while it may even be a minority, I think people do still use it with that intent but to each their own. It's not like we can ask them all individually so ?\_(ツ)_/?

You: "I'm out peace"
You: Comes back and continues clogging up VG's thread with passive aggressive comments at me because god forbid I disagreed with you.

If it's really bothering you so bad, finish whatever you had to say or PM me or something rather than fishing for pity.

I felt like u would mention the peace thing but I was gone for the rest of the day, I didn't say peace forever on this thread. I'm completely finished but I'm just putting the truth out there :/ and it isn't pity again I'm just agreeing with the person

I play around with the triggered joke in a harmless way around class with friends, not seriously triggering poor people. Who would be that evil .-.

I don't care that you disagreed with me. It happens all the time in life. What I'm trying to do is keep it somewhat civil instead of just assuming I like triggering people with traumas :/

 

[cornimer]

It doesn't bother me personally but I feel like it can be a bit insensitive to people with serious triggers

 

[visibleghost]

It doesn't bother me tbh, it can be funny now and then but it does get extremely annoying.

I don't really see an inherent issue with broad trigger warnings like "This show contains gore and scenes of a sexual nature" and I understand why people need trigger warnings and stuff but honestly it's just too much sometimes

what gets too much? in what context? are you referring to if people would want trigger warnings on cooking shows on tv so they would know it had food in them? or do you think the tumblr thing with tagging your mutuals' triggers is too much? like what do you mean,.

 

[Kitsuragi]

it was funny but now edgy tryhard 13 year olds use it all the time.
"yeah im not a fan of this thing but-" "LOoOOoooL R U TRIggGERED???!??! LOLOL DO U NEED A SAFE SPACE? XDDD"
it's kind of annoying.

ye i agree. they think they're super funny and original, but they're being annoying and edgy and Yuck, even if you don't find it offensive like i do lmao

yeah, it's very annoying. personally, i dont find it offensive but if there is a literally awful topic at hand (like death or some other heavy thing) and someone bursts "Triggered XDDD" it's really in poor taste.

 

[Isabella]

Why was my post deleted? Am I not allowed to express my opinion about the use of triggering/triggered?
If you didn't look into my post well enough, I use it as a joke and a lot of people do. I understand why it may be offensive if it goes too far especially when it gets to serious topics.

Like there's legit arguing on this thread and that isn't deleted but my post is? Hello ? ? ???

I honestly don't appreciate my thoughts being deleted when it wasn't intended to harm anyone.
