Ok, just a general announcement.

ONE, "trigger warnings" are for COMMON triggers only. Things like talk of rape, abuse, child abuse, eating disorders, self-harm, serious drug use, and suicide are common triggers. Less common ones are homo/transphobia/gender dysphoria, blood, needles, knives -- or traumatic events (Holocaust, genocides,

This is pretty easy shit to understand.

I honestly don't get how you're fucking it up, people.

I would assume that by now many of the 'How do I join??!!??' type questions are simply to wind technophile up.

This post would make me LOL, if it wasn't so depressingly reflective of the general populous.

Though I would sell my soul to meet someone who admits to being triggered by mudkips.

It's not impossible (unlikely though). I am triggered by cookery shows on TV. Not joking. Yes, there is a reason, yes, it relates to past abuse, no I'm not telling you what it is. Srsly anything can turn into a trigger if it somehow gets closely associated with memories of abuse.

Fortunately I am aware that no one in fandom should be posting warnings for such a rare trigger, so I just scroll past secrets about TV chefs as fast as I can :/ But for common triggers that a lot of people have, I hope to see people using common fucking sense and adding warnings.
