@Azaria Blue Umm, no one's trying to start anything?? ^^;
Here, this is the internet definition nowadays:
- Urban) A phrase posted at the beginning of various posts, articles, or blogs. Its purpose is to warn weak minded people who are easily offended that they might find what is being posted offensive in some way due to its content, causing them to overreact or otherwise start acting like a dipshit. Popular on reddit SRS or other places that social justice warriors (SJW) like to hang out.
Triggers are of course, as you say, serious. However, nowadays people are taking it to the extremes and saying "Ah! THat'S MY TRIGGER!" for a lot of things without thinking about the actual meaning. And it's happening
a lot. Poking fun at that, not the actual trigger meaning which is:
anything, as an act or event, that serves as a stimulus and initiates or precipitates a reaction or series of reactions.
Urban dictionary:
A word used often by idiots on Tumblr to justify their bitchy attitudes, most of whom don't know what a real traumatic experience is.
So yes, triggers are things that pretty much bring back someone's traumatic experiences but you don't see much people on the internet actually saying trigger about that. So yeah. Anyways, i'm not trying to make you mad Blue! ^^
