What i meant was that even if you like the concept oftrigger warning, surely you wouldn’t think that they will make reading the content less painful? I always assumed that the idea is that people should be able to avoid reading it altogether, I can’t see how it could possibly help reading the works “Trigger warning: rape” before reading about a rape, it would still remind you of the traumatic experience.

Yeah, that's basically my point. The only way it could possibly work is if you had some client-side thing to filter out anything with the warning so you didn't see it at all.
