&gt; Trigger warnings are important, in the context of a safe place.<p>I can see that, in the context in a &quot;safe space&quot; with a fairly specific purpose as to who (either by specific individuals are shared identity around common potential trauma source) it is safe for.<p>The reality of trauma and triggering is that there are a wide variety of sources of trauma, and that each is associated with a wide variety of both <i>obviously</i> related potential triggers and <i>less</i> obviously related ones, so I think a problem comes about when either safe spaces or trigger warnings become overly generic -- and, particularly, when contexts that are not specifically-sheltered &quot;safe spaces&quot; become the focus of efforts for demands for trigger warnings around any possible source of trauma (or, in a different way, when they became the focus of efforts to demand &quot;trigger warnings&quot; favoring <i>particular</i> sources of trauma, without any particularly strong reason that source of trauma is relevant and needing to be favored in the particular space.)
