[QUOTE="rambot, post: 72006737, member: 145797"] TW advocates? I'm not sure who those are: Trauma worker advocates? Well, I would point out that anxiety sufferers tend to have a LOT of comordity going on and often have trauma in their past (though from my reading, anxiety does not necessarily results from "trauma". Personally, and I mean no disrepect (though I think we agree anyways), I'm not really sure that trigger warnings for nontrauma anxiety sufferers don't make sense to me. As one last point, I would just refrain this whole discussion: It's not that trigger warnings are NEEDED. It's that they are wanted. Trauma sufferers will not DIE if they don't get a trigger warning. But as a recent poster pointed out, they may not want to go into a stretch of flashbacks that can affect them for days after. Maybe they just WANT them. And in all honesty, I still can't understand why other people are so offended by their presence. If a news report says "some of the images you see, may be disturbing", I have never met a person who then says "Enough with the warnings! Who cares if they are disturbing. At worse, they grunt and ignore it. At best they think "Oh, well if the kids come in, I got the remote...". [/QUOTE]
