“There are no trigger warnings in real life”
“The real world is cruel, get over it.”
My boyfriend is triggered by Christmas and Christmas music. We were in a restaurant, and Christmas music was playing, and he started panicking so he went outside for a cigarette. The manager of the restaurant overheard him saying he had to get out, and changed the music over for the rest of the time we were there. There are safe spaces in the real world. People are nicer than you think. And bullshit people who try to tell you to get over your triggers, ain’t shit.
Honestly “the world is cruel get over it” is pretty easily translated to “I’m a complete asshole who doesn’t want to be held responsible for my sh*tty behavior”
I was at a hacker conference a few months ago and someone had a panic attack because of the noise levels.
Guess how many rowdy drunk hackers quieted down to make sure the person having the problem was okay because it was all of them, all of the hackers. (500 at this particular party)

“real life doesnt have trigger warnings” imagine supermarkets taking all of the allergy warnings off of all of the foods and then being like “sorry sweetie, welcome to the real world (:” when everyone started going into anaphylactic shock
Or movies stop having previews or ratings and 5 year olds are crying in Quentin Tarantino movies and their parents are saying “time to grow up (:”
lmao sjws and their fuckin wet floor signs
At our industry conference in May, a speaker got up in front of 600 people, managers from banks, telcos, creditors, debt collectors, etc and said, “I’m about to talk about family violence. So if that’s going to be difficult for anyone to listen to, I suggest now would be a good time for you to go and grab a cup of coffee from the cafeteria.”
The real world does have trigger warnings. Everywhere.
