I don't use trigger warnings in my work because 1: triggers don't work like that and 2: creating an expectation of safety only makes people *more* hurt when you cant keep them safe. If you tell people they can let their guard down and then they get hurt? Now they're hurt and MAD.

Triggers are very often innocuous things. A smell. A pattern. A touch. I have triggers like a specific shade of a color, certain buildings, a type of haircut. No one could ever warn me for those things in art. I get triggered sometimes. It sucks, but it's my cross to bear.
