... and again, that's not what ghills was talking about. Seriously folks, read the words. The aether is not an acceptable substitute

Also, yeah, in most cases you're not going to have any bloody clue whether there actually are PTSD sufferers or just "typical SJWs" in the audience you're addressing. Which is why you preface with warnings when it's appropriate. Trying to help the former live in a world that isn't quite so much a ruddy minefield is the major reason you have people advocating for those warnings, as well.

Except that they have differing triggers?

[mainiac]

Ah yes our good friend miss "typical SJW".  This conversation wouldn't be complete without her!

[Frumple]

... I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, And. Yes, people with different conditions have different sorts of triggers vis a vis subject matter and presentation, if that's the clarification you're trying to make. Hell, two different PTSD sufferers can have radically different ones. And the import of that is...?

Avoidance only reinforces PTSD. It's literally the opposite of what you should be doing to treat it.

Trigger warnings are designed to help survivors avoid reminders of their trauma, thereby preventing emotional discomfort. Yet avoidance reinforces PTSD. Conversely, systematic exposure to triggers and the memories they provoke is the most effective means of overcoming the disorder. According to a rigorous analysis by the Institute of Medicine, exposure therapy is the most efficacious treatment for PTSD, especially in civilians who have suffered trauma such as sexual assault. For example, prolonged exposure therapy, the cognitive behavioral treatment pioneered by clinical psychologists Edna B. Foa and Barbara O. Rothbaum, entails having clients close their eyes and recount their trauma in the first-person present tense. After repeated imaginal relivings, most clients experience significant reductions in PTSD symptoms, as traumatic memories lose their capacity to cause emotional distress. Working with their therapists, clients devise a hierarchy of progressively more challenging trigger situations that they may confront in everyday life. By practicing confronting these triggers, clients learn that fear subsides, enabling them to reclaim their lives and conquer PTSD.

Aaand huh.

Did not know that.

Which means that we should have trigger warnings, so that sufferers know when to start paying attention.
its like giving warning for a firedrill in advance so people can prepare

[Loud Whispers]

Whats that quote about how everytime you remember something the memory fades so that eventually the best and worst moments of your life become similar?

... who the fuck gives warning before a fire drill? The whole point of a fire drill is lost if you don't keep it a secret!

P.S. If maniac somehow gets banned before Lewd Whispers I'll be very disturbed.

[Descan]

Your quote explicitly talks about it being in a controlled, therapeutic environment. Not some 'anti-SJW' lolumad basement cunt on the internet talkin' about rape and murder because "leltrollu"

not pointing any fingers at anyone here but since we're bringing out miss typical SJW i thought the other guy deserved some time in the limelight

My bet is on symotainious bans.

[Loud Whispers]
