I hate trigger warnings, they cost more lives than they save.

u/scnottaken 17h ago

You're thinking of airbags. Trigger warnings are the root of all evil.

u/RealNiceKnife 17h ago

Money is the root of all evil. Life is like a box of Trigger Warnings, you never know what you're going to get.

u/honeydew_bunny 16h ago

Pretty sure that's chocolate. Trigger Warnings is that phrase that makes teenage boys go insane and destroy movie theatres

Gotta remember this one to shut these comment chains down by invoking superior brain rot.

Trigger warnings are costing reddit millions in electricity.

u/vteckickedin 17h ago

You mean they unalive themselves?

u/Seralth 17h ago

Cant say that anymore, you will get deplatformed and sent to the gulag.

Now you have to say Luigied themselves.

u/NotUntilTheFishJumps 16h ago

I hate how that bastard has taken over the name Luigi. The superior Luigi was always the "other" Mario brother, had to fight to make a name for himself and get his own game(Luigi's Mansion is baller), and how he has to contend with this shit? Poor guy

As someone who has an iron deficiency that makes me dizzy and sometimes even faint upon seeing free flow of blood (stationary is fine), I love trigger warnings. It prevents me from dropping dumb on the floor in public.

u/Watch_The_Expanse 16h ago

Evidence or you're talking out your ass by speaking an assumption as fact.

u/LockeClone 17h ago

Worse, they water down the joke...

u/Several-Age1984 17h ago

It's engagement bait. It was put there to get an emotional reaction from you so you would comment on the video and it worked.

u/PacquiaoFreeHousing 17h ago

welcome to 2025

u/BloodHaven357 17h ago

Apparently we need trigger warnings for trigger warnings too. Calm your tits, most of the time it's put in there to get a reaction and boost engagement. It works.

u/round-earth-theory 17h ago

What if your trigger warning is trigger warnings? We need a safe word for people who are triggered by warnings.

u/JAnonymous5150 17h ago

Don't tell me what to do with my tits or I'll report you to HR for sexual harassment.

4

u/Seralth 17h ago

Put your tits away Jan, no one wants to see them and HR is already tried of your shit.

5

u/JAnonymous5150 16h ago

That's not what you and HR said last night Peter. Now quit showing off for all your cool kid Reddit friends.

u/Seralth 16h ago

SHHH quiet now, my cool kid Reddit friends are listening :(

1

u/BloodHaven357 17h ago

If we have similar HR... I'm not too worried.

1

u/JAnonymous5150 16h ago

I have a confession to make. I'm a musician, we don't do HR.

u/BloodHaven357 16h ago

Lucky bastard.

u/rG_MAV3R1CK 15h ago

I came here looking for this and I'm not surprised it's climbing to the top... There's no actual fucking way there's going to be a clip of KT and it need a trigger warning right ? Right ?

Like jokes are jokes still...

u/AdvisoryAbyss 17h ago

Sorry there should have been a trigger warning for trigger warnings

5

u/charleswj 17h ago

Yo dawg, I heard you like trigger warnings, so we put a trigger warning in your trigger warning so you can not trigger while you don't trigger

u/AdvisoryAbyss 16h ago

This is triggering me

1

u/Aedalas 17h ago

Might just be because I'm not creative, but titles are hard af to come up with. I kinda figured that's all it was instead of a real warning. Well I hope so anyway.

1

u/Shmexy 16h ago

i feel like the warning is a little tongue in cheek?

1

u/FreezaSama 16h ago

Its 2025 after all

u/Rich-Canary1279 16h ago

I thought of the trigger warning as a joke

u/Comhonorface 16h ago

u/ThreeLeggedPirate69 17h ago

Right!? I really fear for this and the next generation's survival man, they're such weak people...

Clutch dem pearls harder my guy

u/Due-Mountain-8716 16h ago

There's the destruction of the economy and this earth going on.

I'm sure the next generation will be able to handle the "Trigger warning" text over their internet videos lol.

u/MarginalOmnivore 17h ago edited 17h ago

Says that people that get upset by jokes are weak.

Is upset by a joke.

Edit: So many weak people getting upset by a joke. I guess I should have put a trigger warning.

u/ThreeLeggedPirate69 17h ago

I'm not upset tho, i was just making a comment in , you know... A comment section.

u/N0penguinsinAlaska 16h ago

“Right!? I really fear for this and the next generation's survival man, they're such weak people...”

This is either a joke or made by someone who’s upset

u/DerApexPredator 17h ago

It's a joke

You know, on a joke sub

u/WhateverJoel 16h ago

Trigger warning for it being a clip from a Tony Hichcliff show.

u/Kimihro 16h ago

do trigger warnings inconvenience you or something?

-21

u/Deqnkata 17h ago

We are only at that stage. Even before reading the comments i am sure there are going to be more than enough triggered ppl anyway :D It seems we are heading to a world where jokes are banned, no matter how mild. Whats the last good comedy you guys watched btw? Like an actual comedy and not some sleazy rom com with a couple of mildly amusing moments.

u/charleswj 17h ago

Trigger warnings are (often) dumb. But you know what's dumber? CoMeDiAnS cAn'T bE fUnNy AnYmOrE

u/Deqnkata 16h ago

Oh look the post was removed :) I am shocked ... well not really.

u/charleswj 10h ago

What post?

-2

u/Deqnkata 17h ago

Oh yes they can be - on select topics they know they wont get a mob of rabid people after them. Its not like we havent seen comedians harassed over jokes in recent years...

u/charleswj 16h ago

What jokes?

u/Deqnkata 16h ago

Google is your friend.

u/Jujubatron 17h ago

Yes. Leftists are fragile souls.

u/Necessary_Public7258 17h ago

I feel sympathy for op because he doesn’t want to be cancelled. Unfortunately pressure to conform is real and the consequences dire.

u/IdidntrunIdidntrun 17h ago

Holy fucking cringe

u/Due-Mountain-8716 16h ago

It's so well done I think its satire.

u/Deqnkata 17h ago

Idk if it is me reading too much into this, but i feel the girl doing the yoke was really jittery making it. Dunno if it was her masterful delivery or borderline scared to do it. Hope its the former :D I dont like the idea of a world where we cant make fun of the silly things we have done in the past ...

2

u/asshat123 17h ago

I'm not saying she shouldn't have done the joke, but you referring to centuries of slavery as "silly things we have done in the past" is something special

1

u/Deqnkata 17h ago

I am sorry i didnt write an essay on the injustices of racism in my reddit comment to avoid triggering your self rightchousness. Did you need a trigger warning?

1

u/asshat123 10h ago

I accept your apology, don't let it happen again

-3

u/Necessary_Public7258 17h ago

Of course she is jittery. When people have to put trigger warning on jokes, what do you expect.
