I wouldn't say she's gay, I'd say that Kanaya is the one who's "gay" for Rose. I put gay in quotations because Alternia/Beforus, gender is pretty much vestigial, so no one is really gay. I don't think it's even been hinted at that Rose shares those feelings. I could definitely be wrong.

I don't think you realized quite how hard Rose was hitting on Meenah.

Quite possible, considering the fact that I don't think I payed much attention to that particular conversation.

EDIT: Okay yeah. I went back and talked to Rose and she was definitely kind of sort of flirting with Meenah. Kinda.

The facial expressions of the sprite really don't help, either

 Rose has just been inexplicable flirty ever since becoming godtier. Still holding out for JohnxRose though!

I'm pretty sure triggers are a lot more serious than that. They're things that remind people of psychologically traumatic things that happened and whatever. So someone who was sexually assaulted would have triggers in the form of rape jokes and things like that. Or at least, that'smy understanding of it.
Then Kankri was just being a dick by overly reminding people of hw much he's considering them.

While that's a fair assumption, especially as that's how it's used in real life, it seems that Kankri's use of the word is a lot more informal - he seems to use it in the meaning of 'something that will make you angry'. ('TW: oppression, culling, grub violence, lusis abuse, hemophobia, pails, slurries,' to cull from his hash text.) Plus his blithe acceptance of Porrim's 'being triggered' by his 'appropriation talk'. He also mentions the term 'Rustblood' being highly triggering. (Presumably to himself, since he 'highly implores' Karkat not to use the term.)

The way I read it, he wants to keep everything strictly academic in his conversations, and thus wants to steer around any topics that might make anybody irrational, emotional, or defensive and hinder frank discussion. Ironically, this basically ensures that his discussions on how to fix peoples' problems never actually addresses the problems of the people he talks to.

SJWs (which he is based on) use it as something close to this, it's supposedly something to prevent people from being shamed/reminded/whatever of their disability/past/whatever. In real life and away from idiots, "triggers" are something like mentioning rape around a rape victim (never do this). Obviously, this can be very bad, but SJWs tend to assume that this applies to everything in existence and that even mentioning somebody's disabilities or abilities or race (blood color in Kankri's case) or anything but the fact that they're a special snowflake and just as good as everyone else will forever shame them and send the person they're talking to into a spiraling depression. In reality, it's just a pain in the ass and there are extremely few who actually care.

(Sorry, but I do not like hypocrisy)

Why don't you write to a forum about it? >:]

Wow, Latula. I'm starting to understand all the people who said troll text was hard to read.

[Slayerhero90]

It's easy to read leetspeak, but the lack of capitalization in Latula's text is not helpful.

She was already here?

And I imagine we now know where Hussie got the idea from.
