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.
"You can't have your privacy violated if you don't know your privacy is violated." - Mike Rogers, U.S. Representative for Michigan's 8th congressional district, 2013
I.e: Mike Rogers doesn't think it's rape unless the victim knows (s)he has been raped. Sounds legit.

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)
The moment a religious person unknowingly calls his own ways stupid: "And lol. I highly doubt you have magic powers. If you proved it I would believe you, but since you 'refuse to', I choose not to."

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.
