  1. @Taweret Well bad, good and shrug-emoticon news-
    Bad news: My highly advanced scripting failed to find anything for "Invasion of the Star Creatures(1962)" CW wise.

    Good news: manually looking at doesthedogdie.com/media/247656 it seems to have a lack of any voted/commented triggers. Due Diligence: Done.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ news: We might be the first people to ever watch this movie and also interact with DtDD. Maybe we're the first people to watch since the it left the drive-in! If anyone knows of anything we have to watch out for here please reply and boost urself closer to Sunday for visibility. #monsterdon #triggerWarnings

  2. Just attended the most uncomfortable class I think I've ever been in. It's a writing course in which people share their works, and one student, with no content warnings whatsoever, launched into an incredibly graphic story about the sexual assault of a minor. It just kept going and going and going.

    While I think the story definitely had value, I also understand the furor. The story didn't make me as upset as all the people being triggered around me did. The class erupted into arguments about artistic merit, censorship, boundaries, and the silencing of PoC/women's experience. I think I should've just left because that drama was helluva nasty to experience.

    OOF.

  3. Advice about #TriggerWarnings/content warnings:

    1. Don't just write "Trigger Warning" at the top of your post, skip a line or two, and then put the thing. Instead, use the CW feature built into Mastodon. Below the text entry field, there's a row of icons, usually starting with a paper clip and then a globe. Somewhere in there, there should be one like a little "CW" or an exclamation point.

    That hides the scary stuff unless someone deliberately opens it.

  4. I see people often providing links to trigger warnings in chat on some games they're playing, so I was wondering if there is like a website database where I could look up potential triggers or content warnings for the games I am playing? Is this a thing that exists? or are people just looking it up on reddit etc?

  5. @Mrfunkedude I’m intrigued by the concept that there are #political #triggers & they are somehow different from all the other kinds of statements/content/actions requiring #triggerwarnings whether they occur on social media or not

  6. Actor talks against #woke #trigger warnings for fundamental failure to understand theatre

    There is a fundamental failure to grasp what the #theatre is: not a model for behaviour but a crucible in which we look at what it is to be human.

    Rabbi Jonathan Romain described trigger warnings as "incredibly #patronising" & a “disservice” to viewers

    They are warning them off learning about things that may be unpleasant but are certainly real

  12. This picture of GI's interupting a vaudeville #dragshow to shoot down Nazi Messerschmidts is the definitive proof that fragile RWers know that deep down in side they are all in for #triggerwarnings.

  13. CW: Trauma, Refugees, and Words

    I had a conversation with a former refugee earlier this week, who was clearly dealing with unprocessed trauma just hearing the word and recalling the experience.

    This is an app. I get that it signifies a lot because we pay it a lot of attention.

    Words still mean things in the “real world”.

    You’re not really a refugee from Twitter, or in exile, even though it feels that way.

    Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

  14. @joannechocolat For the uninformed like myself, can someone explain how to add the #triggerwarnings that blank out the post contents? Also, are we supposed to capitalize in #hashtags or not?

  15. Perhaps
    if you don't want a place to be
    chaotic & uncomfortable
    like other places
    you can speak softly
    and offer opinions & data
    with provision
    for folx who may not want to participate in your debate
    or read your screed
    or maybe need a moment
    to prepare themselves

    Just because people find chaos distasteful
    doesn't mean they're elitist
    it means they're human

    Perhaps while you're striving to be heard
    you can listen a little too

    And I’m sorry the unfortunate trauma and tragedy happened. The longer you are unprepared for awful people who are compulsively contrarian with unprocessed trauma and a desire to hurt, the longer we all can’t have nice things. I’m sorry to be the one to break the bad news.

  21. PSA if you're gonna talk about that awful 2020 study about "trigger warnings" you're also gonna have to talk about how it didn't study trigger warnings at all. #triggerwarnings #contentwarnings

    what they gave was emotional priming.

    the "warning" literally read:

    "TRIGGER WARNING: The passage you are about to read contains disturbing content and may trigger an anxiety response, especially in those who have a history of trauma"

  22. We're discussing #TriggerWarnings today. I know a bit about the recent empirical literature & evidence, & want to make sure pro-TW viewpoints are reflected in our discussions as well. Can you help out?

    I'm particular interested in TWs in the context of clinical psych masters. Specifically
    1) why should TWs be included
    2) how should they look like
    3) what is their exact function

    Thanks!

  23. How do we feel about trigger warnings on books themselves? I put them in the description of my book on Amazon, but not in the actual book. I'm convinced it's necessary in the book itself, but I'm also not someone who needs trigger warnings. Opinions? #writing #WritingCommunity #triggerwarnings

  24. CW: On why to use content warnings… CW:Choking

    #ContentWarnings aren't there to spoil the story. Their purpose isn't to state the obvious.

    Content warnings (aka #TriggerWarnings) are there to help your readers make an informed decision about whether or not to read. And if they choose to proceed, to brace themselves.
