That’s too quick and painless for someone that evil.
Could we maybe get content warning/nsfw for literal fucking gun barrels being pointed at us.
Maybe I’m just a bit triggered for having had real guns pointed my way, but I’d say this falls under “when appropriate”
I’m sorry you’re getting downvotes, that’s entirely reasonable. What are content warnings for if not this?
Blahaj doesn’t track down votes so I never see them, just a bunch of snowflakes screaming into the void.
So many people don’t pay attention to what comms they’re on, or what any of the rules are when posting commenting voting. And some people will break rules just to be inflammatory.
And then some people think they’re voting for my comment like it’s a poll on if gun barrels pointed at the user are a valid trigger warning. Or think what I said “isn’t engaging with the post”
Some people will upvote because I said fuck, some will down for the same. Some people will down vote just because I’ve said I’m trans in previous posts.
OP can either flare it or not at their discretion, or a mod could have the same opinion on this falling under the CW rules (I did not report any rule breaking ✌️ I hid the post after commenting)
Btw, big fan of the solarpunk comms 🤙
No. We can’t have trigger warnings for everything as there is always someone who might be triggered by something. Real or fake.
Some triggers can be universally agreed upon.
It is of course horrible that you have had experiences that can cause discomfort from seeing a picture, reading a book, watching a film. I do not know your backstory.
I do however have my own experience feeling discomfort from a seemingly “normal” thing. My father died and in order to get my mind off this event I went to watch (I believe) Bad Guys 2 where there is a scene where dead bodies were used to smuggle cocaine. It was I a humorous setting as most Will Smith movies are. I didn’t care for it then and felt discomfort - even though Weekend at Bernie was hilarious when I watched it 15 years prior.
My point is right as I felt discomfort and was triggered, I simultaneously understood that everybody else in the cinema at the same time I was there did not feel this way. It was a unique experience for me at that point in time. I can’t expect everyone else to walk over eggshells around me, especially if they do not know me.
A former colleague of mine was after 10 years as a widow still triggered if someone mentioned something in the vicinity of drowning as this was his horrible death. It was obviously difficult for her, but to expect colleagues (new and old) to never mention something that could trigger her for 10 years is over the top. As horrible as it is. People die, and you have to work on it. You can’t expect the rest of the world to do the work for you.
Which circles back to you. We can’t have trigger warnings on everything because you have had a horrible experience. You have to work on it. We do not. Especially as we do not know you.
For you its guns. For someone else it could be an axe. Or powder or a large syringe. Or a bottle of whisky. Everyday objects can’t have trigger warnings.
A shotgun is an everyday object, even if the barrel in the picture is pointing towards you. I think most objects or topics should not have trigger warnings, but that’s a different topic.
But I do hope you get better and help to deal with your triggers. Best of luck!
A shotgun is an everyday object
I am sorry you live in an environment where you can reasonably believe this. Or maybe you’re just myopic about your own hobbies.
In any case, while a shotgun may be an everyday object for 3% of humanity, a penis is a more everyday object than a shotgun for >70% of humanity. Do you support abolishing content warnings for those? If not, can you explain why without also justifying a content warning for weapons pointed at the viewer?
I would.
Isn’t this woman a billionaire? Why is she acting like she’s going to pop down to the local vape store to put any advice into action and not tell some servant to go buy her the best vape?
She’s cosplaying. Its PR IMO.
Isn’t it brink?
“on the blink” is british slang for when something is damaged and unreliable
TIL, thank you!
I’ve noticed that amongst the right, there’s a trend of “The only moral transition is MY transition” going on, Right Wing Transwomen who say they’re the only ones “Doing it to alleviate gender dysphoria” and that by asking for rights the others are “Making it some weird ideology”
Though they seem to fail to realize that the Right is actively working to prevent gender affirming care from being a thing for even adults.
JK Rowling seems to be in this camp, as she believes her one trans friend is the only “Legitimate” transperson
She was that way for some time, telling everyone that she respected trans people, just didn’t want them in the bathrooms she was in. She has long dropped the act though, and now fully supports the idea that trans women are all rapists.
It’s the same shtick all conservative influencers do. They act like their position is one of common sense while strawmanning the opinions of the left to hell (JKR does this with constant tweets about how biological sex is a real thing, which no one fucking denies, she’s the one denying the scientific consensus around sex, gender, and gender dysphoria), and then when they have garnered enough followers and people gain more of an emotional attachment to them instead of a rational one they show their true colors. This tweet from when Trump won the election comes to mind:
And no, trans people are not serial rapists.

it’s Kobain Quality, too.
If it’s good enough for Cobain, it’s good enough for my brain!
There are 8.3 Billion people on Earth alive today, quite possibly JK Rowling is a lamer piece of shit than 99.999999% of them.
huh so there’s like 80 people in that tier if i mathed right
