- flukus 10y agoWhy does this trigger so many people?
- TazeTSchnitzel 10y agoWhy is “trigger” used jokingly now? Unless you think the people responding have PTSD or a similar condition.
- flukus 10y agoBecause self diagnosed PTSD sufferers on Tumblr made a mockery of it. The word has uses outside of the PTSD context though, like gun or database triggers.
- TazeTSchnitzel 10y ago> Because self diagnosed PTSD sufferers on Tumblr made a mockery of it. Why would them being self-diagnosed matter? Why would you react to it having been “made a mockery of” by reinforcing this supposed mockery? It only makes it worse for people who have to deal with it.
- flukus 10y ago> Why would them being self-diagnosed matter? Because the self diagnosis is largely made up by people who don't understand what PTSD even is. It's like someone declaring they have cancer without going to a doctor. > Why would you react to it having been “made a mockery of” by reinforcing this supposed mockery? Because it's become part of the lexicon now. I don't think there's any going back. My usage was the "new" usage, no relation to PTSD was intended.
