A right, embedding - I just used the img code. Thanks :p
And you also have to use the pure form (imgur.com/a/asdfkgk, not imgur/a/asdfgk/all iirc :^))
Man, trigger warnings are such complete and utter idiocy.

"I also am Otherkin. Whenever autumn rolls around I can feel my kin-type slowly taking over my body. You must know, I identify as pumpkin. I can control it pretty good most of the time, but when September ends, I just cant hold it in anymore. Whenever Im outside I see my brothers and sisters being chopped into soup, coffee, donuts, cake, drinks, bread - ppl even cut human faces into their skin, making a mockery out of their noble appearance. When I see things like that I cant control my pumpkin urges anymore. My natural instincts kick in. I then sit down motionless, while getting bright orange." - Morgana L

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'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.
