          1.) popular and well known definition triggered is when someone gets offended or gets their feelings hurt, often used in memes to describe feminist, or people with strong victimization. (the use of this word through social media is generally ableist.)
          2.) actaul definition of triggered trigger is something that sets off a memory tape or flashback transporting the person back to the event of her/his original trauma.
          trauma in the form of flashbacks or overwhelming feelings of sadness, anxiety, or panic. The brain forms a connection between a trigger and the feelings with which it is associated, and some triggers are quite innocuous. For example, a person who smelled incense while being raped might have a panic attack when he or she smells incense in a store. Triggers are very personal, and generally people with severe PTSD or/and anxiety can be triggered by everyday things.

                Okay, kiddos. Enough of this landwhale bullshit. Im about to tell you what REAL triggering is.
                To be triggered is NOT to be offended by something. Its actually quite different from that. To be triggered is to have a certain stimulus, be it a word, a place, a person etc, set off (or trigger) a memory linking back to a traumatic point in your life (i.e. rape, a local terrorist attack, or any sort of horrible event), resulting in negative effects like anxiety attacks (and thats just one of the many things that can come from being triggered. Trust me, it can get so much worse). It is NOT something to be treated lightly.
                Ill conclude this with a rundown of tips for if you ever come across someone who can be triggered.
                1: Do not make fun of them. Triggering is a serious issue which should be treated with care and respect.
                2: Do not start calling them things like SJW or Landwhale or whatever other bullshit you might associate with triggering. It has nothing to do with that.
                3: Do not, I repeat, do NOT (I repeat again, FUCKING DO NOT) attempt to trigger them. You should already know this, but Im saying it anyway. DONT TRY TO TRIGGER PEOPLE, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE. Dont even consider it. You can do some serious damage to a persons mental state if you do. You keep that in fucking mind.
                Now, Id appreciate some upvotes so we can get this ACTUAL definition of triggering to be the top definition, so no one has to see that disgustingly mean landwhale definition again.

                    Feminist slang for getting sexually aroused. Feminist media, such as books, pamphlets, and video that contain sexually arousing material are often labelled with a Trigger Warning to advise that the content is likely to trigger a sexual response.
