Maybe she just wanted to be "nailed?"

Quote:Are millennials too sensitive?

Quote:Theology students at a prestigious U.K. university were warned they may witness disturbing images when reading about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The University of Glasgow in Scotland introduced the ‘trigger warnings’ for students taking the class "Creation to Apocalypse: Introduction to the Bible (Level 1)."

Quote:Trigger warnings were introduced to warn people of content that could trigger emotional distress. In certain cases, students are allowed to leave the lecture and professors are instructed to check up on the student later in the day.

Jesus fucking christ..... what a bunch of pussies.


This pussy culture is a result of liberalism.

How could that be the case, even as an ancillary attribution, when less than a quarter of gen xers and boomers identify as liberals? They're the ones who manufactured "this culture", whatever it is.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

In general, I don't see anything wrong with warning about explicit violence or imagery and giving someone the option to not view it if they don't want to.

Hell, in Area 69 on this very forum, we have this:
"You must put photos in [hide] tags before posting them, and include an accurate description so people only see the stuff they want to see. We are a mixed community; not everyone wants to see cock / tits / gore."

Years back, I had a friend whose dad saw combat in Vietnam. Certain sights and sounds would trigger flashbacks - what we  call PTSD now. Was he a "pussy"? Hell no. And I bet he would have made the choice to avoid those terrible flashbacks if he were given the option of turning away from sights and sounds that triggered him.

With that said, I read the article in the OP. Of course it's ridiculous for a theology student to avoid learning about crucifixions or a vet student to need a warning that they will view dead animals.

But let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Viewing violence provokes visceral reactions in most normal people not to mention people who may have personally experienced violence for whatever reason. Giving a discretionary warning and the choice to not participate in viewing it does not make people "weak" or "pussies".

Quote:How does hearing the words "trigger warning" ruin the experience? What you're really saying is that don't give a fuck if someone with PTSD experiences trauma if it means you have to hear a few extra words. Talk about thinking you're a special snowflake.


Oh please, PTSD is not a 2017 thing. Besides, I know that getting "Triggered" (just sounds silly to even say it now) is a problem for people with PTSD and anger issues. You can blame your oversensitive buddies for trivalizing and making a joke out of it. Yayy America?

Did I miss something, aren;t you trivializing and making a joke out of it?  Those folks seem to be taking it seriously, you think they're being oversensitive....though I'm not sure what that means or who made you the decider on that one, lol?

I always shake my head when the local news runs a video of a police shooting - we have lots of them in AZ - and they say "this video contains violent images."

And then they stop the video BEFORE the violent part.

Go to YouTube and search for triggered SJW's and you'll see who trivialized what

Besides, "Triggered" is just another excuse for these types to be loud brash assholes. They want to put up trigger warnings and safe spaces in the hopes they can legitimize being an asshole. So it's good to see them getting denied a bit.
