Conservative? Can trigger warning exist without fearing something? I think the author describes evolution of fear.
- mxfh 9y agoI wouldn't call this fear, but a, yet to be proven effective, strategy to avoid retraumatization. The motivation, as I understand it, is actually to enable and prepare more people reading things they would be otherwise afraid of, so quite the opposite of fear. Besides some right wing people seeing this as one of the horsemen of the end of free speech, this relatively obscure and confined practice simply doesn't warrant mentioning it on level akin with national doctrines like MAD.
