Hmmm, your neighbors kid is running in-front of the road where a car could easily run him over, your neighbor wants to yell at his kid to come back... but first, he must issue a trigger warning to you *just* in case you might get offended by him yelling at his kid. AMAZING

What, do people actually use "trigger warnings" in real life, unironically?
If that is true, then i'm glad that i don't live in some of "highly progressive" country where that takes place.

You mean the US?
Not sure if you're mocking social progression or just how progressive trigger warnings are, but I'll assume it's the latter.
If it's the former however then I'd just like to state the obvious that actual social progression is not necessarily linked to adoption of trigger warnings even though many socially progressive countries probably do use them. (never experienced them outside of the internet myself, but hey, the internet is important and should not be sullied with any more of that stupidity)
"I saw [Twilight: Eclipse] in theaters with a girl I was dating at the time. I spent more time staring at my toes and wiggling them than I did watching this abomination. When Edward proposed to Blank Face, I finally looked up with a revelation.
I blurted out loud, in a dead silent theater full of teenage girls on opening night "Wait a minute, Edward has no blood flow. How does he get an erection?" I heard several men laughing, and had several girls turn and stare at me.
I did not get laid that night." - Berengier817

I'm mocking trigger warnings and culture that promotes such behaviour.

My comment was originally reply to video you posted, by Factual Feminist, I didn't know that such silly thing as trigger warnings deserves discussion and is actually taken seriously in some places. Topic is of trigger warnings (as stated in video) is scientifically unproven and should be completely dismissed.
To me trigger warnings hold same weight as broscience does in fitness - none.
