This has some good discussions as to why people like (or don't like) trigger warnings. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/21677026209213...

Overall, studies across a range of trigger warning types/groups have not found there's a significantly beneficial effect (and have found some minor negative effects).

Interesting. What it didn’t cover is people who rage against them.

It also didn’t cover types of trigger warnings, referred to people who consider trauma part of their “core identity”, and use self reporting of ptsd. I find any online survey that uses self reporting to define the population to be lesser quality. Like when pre-Kinsey researchers did the self reported penis size study.

For "Cross-cultural communication tensions", I think this essay is excellent: https://status451.com/2016/01/06/splain-it-to-me/
