    A phrase posted at the beginning of various posts, articles, or blogs. Its purpose is to warn weak minded people who are easily offended that they might find what is being posted offensive in some way due to its content, causing them to overreact or otherwise start acting like a dipshit. Popular on reddit SRS or other places that social justice warriors like to hang out.
    Trigger warnings are unnecessary 100% of the time due to the fact that people who are easily offended have no business randomly browsing the internet anyways. As a result of the phrases irrelevance, most opinions that start out with this phrase tend to be simplistic and dull since they were made by people ridiculous enough to think that the internet is supposed to cater to people who cant take a joke.

        A word that makes me want to pull a trigger (albeit, of a difference sort) every god damn, fucking time it is uttered.

          Trigger Warning is a disclaimer for autistic, emotionally unstable people who cannot read certain words without having a self diagnosed panic attack due to their self-diagnosed PTSD. Words like rape, cut, gun, bbq, twix bar, bus, penis, basically any word can trigger a tumblr feminazi into a sweating, crying mess. Rather than growing up, trigger warnings are meant to make people attempt to avoid words that would trigger someone. Clearly writers and bloggers and authors should censor themselves because the hamplanets of the world cannot deal with reading some letters on a screen

            An advance warning given to people suffering from PTSD that something awful they have experienced is about to be discussed or shown. Essentially a courtesy extended to people who have already been through more in their lives than most people will ever go through, especially as recovery from PTSD takes a long time and must be done with trained professionals.

            In the weird alternate universe found only in the fantasies of wingnuts, an Orwellian tactic used by the left to keep new ideas out.

              Ostensibly a warning for faint-hearted progs that the material that follows is very likely to introduce thoughts at variance with their preconceptions.
              In actuality it is a flagging device used to mark politically unapproved ideas. Secondarily used as a warning for actually violent or distressing material that follows.
              Some critics have suggested that the phrase trigger warning is itself stressful.

                A cop-out that social justice warriors use to make it seem like theyre accomodating people with PTSD. Trigger warnings are usually posted at the contents header in order to keep from acknowledging that PTSD episodes do not stop for anything so long as the triggering content is still there and thus avoid responsible conversations about trauma.
