[b]Trigger warnings do not exist for people who have normal responses for things[/b]. If you have a particularly empathetic author/dev/etc. they may slip in trigger warnings just so people aren't made uncomfortable, but normal folk aren't the target here. When people encounter trauma in their lives, it's not uncommon for their bodies to develop a defense response to those traumas. As a result, [b]some people have involuntary, visceral responses to certain subjects that can have both short term and long term negative effects on their mental health[/b], i.e. a trauma response. Not only is the immediate response blown way out of proportion compared to what someone who hasn't experienced the trauma, it can also then remind the victim of the trauma they've encountered in the past, resulting in a long-term depression, or worse. As a result, [b]trigger warnings should be interpreted less like an ESRB rating[/b] which serve to help a younger audience avoid media they or their parents don't want to see, but ultimately won't be severely damaging in any way, and instead [b]they should be seen as something more similar to an epilepsy warning[/b]; just like a scene that has no effect on a regular viewer can cause an epileptic seizure for someone with epilepsy, relatively minor scenes related to someone's trauma can trigger a trauma response, even if people without that trauma find that scene to be relatively tame. Now obviously, as trauma can take a million different forms, trauma responses can be triggered by a wide variety of stimuli, and it's legitimately impossible to add a warning for everyone. However, certain traumas are more prevalent than others, and those widespread ones should [i]always[/i] have a trigger warning when they appear in the story, in order to protect the mental health of its audience. Or in short; Use trigger warnings. They're important.

Wait I’m a twenty one pilots fan but have they actually been offensive or was the guy just being passionate about his opinion?

Don’t have twitter, I’m happy. And if there’s a tweet criticizing Twitter, that one.

Not just 2010’s but for all time.
