Trigger Warnings are unnecessary

Trigger warnings reinforce sensitivity, which often harms who they aim to protect. Cognitive behavioral Psychology has found that exposure therapy to sensitive issues is much more helpful for victims of traumatic experiences. The end goal is to become anti-fragile, which requires stepping out of comfort zones. The unfortunate truth is the longer you shelter someone from a triggering topic, the more sensitive they become.

Very true, it’s a shame the way buzzwords pave over nuanced issues like this; so many people are now opposed to a concept for unrelated reasons that it harms people with epilepsy.
