Trigger warnings are harmful for society as well. Grown adults at university get coddled with the stuff, then released out into the cold, cruel, uncaring world. Not a good turn for society.

I notice a trend, at least in online fora, to glorify or almost celebrate anxiety and neuroticism. I'm not weighing in on the cause for this phenomenon but I wouldn't be surprised if this is related in some way.
