I understand the idea of shielding people from content that would be upsetting, but my own experience is, that I feel a little anxious as soon as I read Trigger Warning [...].

How is your experience with it? Are you happy with it, or do you thing there are better ways to address dark topics?

Thank you for the link, I was lazy. I heavily recommend it, the host has on a lady who is an “expert in trigger warnings” (like a legit expert) and her research is very enlightening. I can relate—when I was young, I would deliberately seek out things with trigger warnings that I knew would affect me because it felt good to look at those things! I still click on anything with warnings, but I don’t actively seek stuff out anymore cuz I’m lazy.
