Trigger Warnings... or not?

Warning: This episode contains two people trying their best to have a nuanced conversation about something complicated, personal, and sensative.

That's right, we're chatting about trigger warnings today, those pesky lists of things that a social media post, a blog post, a video essay, or something else online have at the beginning. The point was to try and keep people who may have trauma induced responses to certain contant from having a physical and emotional reaction. But is that actually whats happening now? Does "trigger" even mean this anymore? And what do the academics have to say about it?
