Third .world user that doesn’t understand separate spaces like “we wash our hands in this basin and pee in a different basin” or concepts like “a comm on blahaj is not the whole Internet or the world”
Did I trigger the ammosexuals or something?
Funny how none of y’all engaged until i pointed out blahaj doesn’t track down votes in a different reply. 😂
No. We can’t have trigger warnings for everything as there is always someone who might be triggered by something. Real or fake.
Some triggers can be universally agreed upon.
It is of course horrible that you have had experiences that can cause discomfort from seeing a picture, reading a book, watching a film. I do not know your backstory.
I do however have my own experience feeling discomfort from a seemingly “normal” thing. My father died and in order to get my mind off this event I went to watch (I believe) Bad Guys 2 where there is a scene where dead bodies were used to smuggle cocaine. It was I a humorous setting as most Will Smith movies are. I didn’t care for it then and felt discomfort - even though Weekend at Bernie was hilarious when I watched it 15 years prior.
My point is right as I felt discomfort and was triggered, I simultaneously understood that everybody else in the cinema at the same time I was there did not feel this way. It was a unique experience for me at that point in time.
I can’t expect everyone else to walk over eggshells around me, especially if they do not know me.
A former colleague of mine was after 10 years as a widow still triggered if someone mentioned something in the vicinity of drowning as this was his horrible death.
It was obviously difficult for her, but to expect colleagues (new and old) to never mention something that could trigger her for 10 years is over the top. As horrible as it is. People die, and you have to work on it. You can’t expect the rest of the world to do the work for you.
Which circles back to you. We can’t have trigger warnings on everything because you have had a horrible experience. You have to work on it. We do not. Especially as we do not know you.
For you its guns. For someone else it could be an axe. Or powder or a large syringe. Or a bottle of whisky. Everyday objects can’t have trigger warnings.
A shotgun is an everyday object, even if the barrel in the picture is pointing towards you. I think most objects or topics should not have trigger warnings, but that’s a different topic.
But I do hope you get better and help to deal with your triggers. Best of luck!
Mate, no disrespect and you’re entitled to your opinion, however you may note that you’re all the way from .world and this is a comm on blahaj zone and we might have different rules of etiquette and postings than you. Online communities and real life situations are also very different.
As I was processing my feelings over the imagery, I realized of the people in my community may feel the same but have trouble speaking up, so I felt inclined to do so.
We all have to deal with quite a lot in real life every single day, I’m disappointed that your opinion is that a minority group in a minority group comm that you don’t belong to shouldn’t ask about safe space in a meme shit posting comm.
I am sorry you live in an environment where you can reasonably believe this. Or maybe you’re just myopic about your own hobbies.
In any case, while a shotgun may be an everyday object for 3% of humanity, a penis is a more everyday object than a shotgun for >70% of humanity. Do you support abolishing content warnings for those? If not, can you explain why without also justifying a content warning for weapons pointed at the viewer?
Or - possibly - maybe you don’t understand instances, and why federation exists? Blahaj, for good reasons, in my opinion, have strict rules as to what can show up there.
Just like World has, different, strict rules concerning, uh, an ongoing conflict.
Just as .ml does about, uh, specific political orientated stuff.
Blahaj doesn’t track down votes so I never see them, just a bunch of snowflakes screaming into the void.
So many people don’t pay attention to what comms they’re on, or what any of the rules are when posting commenting voting. And some people will break rules just to be inflammatory.
And then some people think they’re voting for my comment like it’s a poll on if gun barrels pointed at the user are a valid trigger warning. Or think what I said “isn’t engaging with the post”
Some people will upvote because I said fuck, some will down for the same. Some people will down vote just because I’ve said I’m trans in previous posts.
OP can either flare it or not at their discretion, or a mod could have the same opinion on this falling under the CW rules (I did not report any rule breaking ✌️ I hid the post after commenting)
Could we maybe get content warning/nsfw for literal fucking gun barrels being pointed at us.
Maybe I’m just a bit triggered for having had real guns pointed my way, but I’d say this falls under “when appropriate”
So you don’t watch movies or previews or television, huh? Internet must be a scary place for you 🙄

Maybe the Internet isn’t the right place for you.
Another .world user with a suck it up buttercup attitude. Good for you sweaty.
Do you think oneninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone the entire internet? Did i go to guns@world and ask for a trigger warning?
Edit:
Apparently onehundredninetysix is the entire world. I am shooketh

I’m sorry you’re getting downvotes, that’s entirely reasonable. What are content warnings for if not this?
The entire world cannot be a safe space for you.
There will be things that make you uncomfortable. Be an adult and deal with it.
Yeah! They should make their own instance if they want it to be a safe space!
Oh wait. That’s exactly what has happened here.

Btw, big fan of the solarpunk comms 🤙
