I'm going to go out on a limb and say you don't live/work in California. I spend a lot of time in SF and LA, and in both places, the types of people who demand trigger warnings (and, related, talk about microaggressions and other imaginary offenses) are pretty common. That also happens to be where a huge chunk of HN commenters/readers are based. It is our reality. I do celebrate the news that outside of the SF/LA metro areas this cancer has not yet reached, but my day-to-day is very much affected by it.
