- TazeTSchnitzel 11y ago> "Triggered" has become something of an Internet meme these days (via tumblr). Yes, mocking trauma and abuse suffers has become an Internet meme. That doesn't make it considerate behaviour. > That's what he is referring to. I know.
- vezzy-fnord 11y agoYou have the causal chain incorrect. It isn't mocking trauma and abuse sufferers, it's mocking people who equate minor inconveniences with trauma and abuse.
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoWho are they to assume some particular thing does not cause trauma or flashbacks to it? And how can you tell if these supposed people trivialising it are sincere? Mocking a concept genuinely helpful for sufferers of trauma simply because of its perceived misuse hurts trauma sufferers and helps nobody.
