Trigger warnings are important. A rape survivor may have braced themselves for a textual story on rape, but have been completely unprepared for the images.

Do we have trigger warnings for people who have been through other horrible things in life? That would be a lot of warnings on a lot of posts. Saying the post is NSFW should be enough.

Why would you argue against this reason for a warning in a discussion thread where the primary complaint is "but I'm at work" ?

I am not against an NSFW tag, of course.

Don't underestimate the strength of the response to such a trigger.

That's true for any survivor of any kind of horrible experience. Why single out rape?
