"I'm going to call any content warnings, no matter how trivial, 'Trigger warnings', but no, it's the SJWs who are diluting the meaning of the phrase" ~ countless reddit posts
"Put a NSFL tag on that spider!"
"Viewer discretion is advised for this program."
"Damn SJWs ruining my cable television!"
More like cabal television these days amirite.
Cabal Shillivision.
C'mon, son.
You gotta love the irony of people literally being "triggered" by seeing a trigger warning. The pettiness of man has no bounds.
You got to admit that his usage is pretty silly tho
Not really. C__t might be a swear word that people randomly throw at each other in some regions and in some contexts, but ti also hppens to be a hateful slur, that people who really, really hate women are fond of.
Ti?
Ill be honest sometimes I censor myself because people get offended at it.
Like Ill say f**k and a redditor will write a long angry speech about how Im ruining the planet and that fuck needs to be said and a few swarmy responses saying "you can swear om the internet you know".
Ahh the power of words.
I don't think that someone honestly offended by the word fuck would be any less offended by f**k. Human beings are smart enough to figure out that you are basically just saying fuck and will act accordingly.
If people were so offended by this word, then why do they accept this word when its all censored up? For some reason, the word is okay to use as long as at least 1 letter is censored. Self censoring is for c*wards. Notice the asterisk is on there, yet you still know its the word 'coward'. I dont accept the full swear, so neither do i accept the censored version of it. Use another word, expand your vocabulary, show some respect.
But, by mentioning 'the c word' or ' c****', I know exactly what you mean. You know what 'the c word is', so why put "the c word" when you can just put cunt? After all, that's what a word is isn't it? (see here for more info around 2 mintues in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuLrBLxbLxw )
"Info" seems like a pretty strong word for "a comedian agreeing with me."
I don't know who these people are who can't read "the _-word" without immediately imagining the word. I can read those phrases and know what word is meant without having to shout CUNT inside my head. I honestly have no idea what it would be like to be so suggestible.
I can't imagine not thinking of the word. Like, you just think "the c-word" and don't go "Does that mean cock or cunt?" in your head?
I always assume it means cunt. But yes, I guess I just have a conception of what cunt and the-c-word both represent, and I can think in a sort of shorthand. If someone says the n word, I think "oh yes the racial slur." I don't think the actual word, just the concept it represents.
Ah, I definitely think "nigger." And it's usually cunt though sometimes I remember using the c-word for cock as a kid.

Seriously are they also sounding words out as they go? Do they have a ruler pressed to the screen so they don't get confused by line breaks? You should be able to turn written words into brain noises pretty much automagically, I can't imagine who out there is going "n word, n word... Now, what could that possibly be... OH WAIT I KNOW!"
I'm pretty sure the OP deliberately avoided using the words "trigger" and "warning" in their parenthetical phrase in the hopes that they could be polite without having this bullshit circlejerk develop
ESRB rating are trigger warnings
Sorry, I'm out.
Tbh I'm not sure how "c-bomb" can mean anything but a swear word.
I like the idea of someone who is triggered by the word cunt but finds weapons that render large areas of land uninhabitable to be quite agreeable.
Not trigger warnings, necessarily, but a content warning nonetheless, which is basically the same idea.
I'm honestly surprised this game hasn't generated more popcorn given the heavy social themes it tackles in some parts. Great game though definitely a favorite of mine.
How ironic is it that they're complaining about trigger warnings in a post that has a spoilers tag on it?
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me keep me awake for the rest of my life as they eat away at my psyche while I dwell on what I did to deserve them
You're a big fat doodyhead.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
Woah, he wins this round. Apparently if people say something enough it automatically becomes true.
Gravitation doesn't exist.
BOOM! I can fly! /s

I'll never understand the outrage about Trigger Warnings. I'll admit I think they sometimes go to unnecessary degrees personally, but even if so, it's usually like a single sentence on a title, or five seconds into a video or something. It is as unobtrusive as can be. How can you muster up any anger at such a thing?
Reminds me of one example that made the rounds last year where a YouTuber (I think EgoRaptor?) decided to add a trigger warning annotation to a video following some requests, because hey, why not. People lost their ever-loving Goddamned minds.
Just...calm down. If words don't hurt you, then why are you getting so worked up over...words?
I can see trigger warnings spoiling things that I'd rather not see spoiled. Like if something otherwise nice and sweet has a surprising dark bit about suicide or rape the trigger warning is going to ruin it.
Because reddit thinks there's only so much nice to go around, and we can't use up all the nice on People Who Are Not Me.
I had to stop reading when I saw someone say "sticks and stones" - couldn't read this drama. Can someone contextualize the subreddit for me? Is it a videogame?
Yeah it's a 3d adventure game somewhat like the wolf among us, the walking dead, ad other telltale games. But with time travel and a lot of high school themes. The sticks and stones is talking about SPOILERS one of the characters who almost or did commit suicide because of bullying.
Oh I see.
It's funny because the first 3-4 comments I read amped me up for some weird, good-ass drama. But then I hit that comment and briefly scrolled down, and was like nah, these aren't people I can relate to."
It's actually weird because I keep reading shit that pisses me off, but I just could not buy in to this.

Figured this would end up on SRD eventually. ah well, least it's not bagging on the game.
No, No, Usually.
That was easy.
I don't know, it depends on who's wielding the sticks and/or stones and what the words were.
How do people function outside of the internet?
the internet is way more unfiltered than real life.
Trigger warning may actually harm the victims they are intended to help, according to psychologists who research trauma. Here's a long article on trigger warnings that includes a long discussion of this with a leading researcher: Trigger warnings: more harm than good?.
Here's a shorter article that summarizes and cites five relevant papers: Hazards Ahead: The Problem With Trigger Warnings, According to the Research.
You can get PTSD flashbacks through swear words?
Also, people can get offended by swear words in the XXIst century?
No racist namecalling, no death threats, no conspiracy accusations? Come on, SRD, we gotta up our game here
I'm surprised it took this long for Life is Strange related drama to show up here. Episode 1's gun scene is triggering people on /v/ to this day.
I know the Gamergate crowd had a problem with Life Is Strange (feeeemales amirite), but why the gun scene in particular?
Check this out.
I like how most of the responses are people telling him he's a proper twat and to quit whining about it.
They do understand that Chloë isn't exactly an example to aspire to, right? The victim complex is strong in that thread.
This guy said it quite well. As for Warren, that is kind of how he sees himself, isn't it? Max doesn't ask for a white knight, he just steps up to the role. I don't think it reflects badly on him either. He's just a teenager with teenage ideas about relationships. Besides, somebody needed to step in at that point, Max was about to be attacked by someone physically stronger than her. As long as he doesn't flip and go all r/niceguys in the next episode, I'd say he was portrayed fairly positively. What do you think?
I would go through old posts to find something better but I don't know the most drama causing parts of LIS. I started the game after ep 3 so the community has mostly been shipping, fan theories, and ep 4 reactions.
LiS hate has died down since Ep.2 was released, when people were still thinking it was an SJW game.
Also, no gender wars, not redpill related, not gamer gate related? We are going off the tracks. Quick, return to the circlejerk!
After EP1 people were calling LiS the SJW game. That has to count for something!
Quick, find someone that expresses this opinion on that subreddit and post here for karma!
