A handful of HN users with >= 500 karma didn't like either:
- The fact that I don't embrace the concept of trigger warnings.
- The fact that I responded in agreement to another comment.
- The fact that I suggested the warning could have been placed in response to a fear of retaliation.
- Me. Just, in general.
- All of the above.
But since none of the downvoters had enough gumption to actually say what they didn't like about my comment, we'll never know. :)
My pet theory for what motivates these squads of downvoters is a mix of laziness and cowardice.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoYou should have put a trigger warning - "Point of view disagreeing with the majority media narrative - could cause compulsive downvoting behaviour". ;).
- sarciszewski 12y agoHeh. I don't really think I'm even disagreeing with the majority media narrative here. I do think trigger warnings can be taken to ridiculous extremes (e.g. imagine a trigger warning every 30 seconds of a horror film) and, as a result, am not fond of them as an idea.
