Not that there’s anything wrong with content warnings. But you’d think people who actively celebrate massacres and call for the death of others can handle a children’s cartoon lol

    A lot of people have trauma and these content warnings can help prevent panic attacks and traumatic episodes even, if it seems minor to you it may not be so minor to others

      This is for a show designed for small children. If you cannot handle shows made for pre-schoolers than you need significant help and should not be ysing the internet as you are not healthy enough to handle that.

      Note: Im not rejecting trigger warnings entirely but I am saying that listing them for My Little Pony is extreme. If you cannot handle kids shows you have real problems

        How is this even a conversation… Imagine this level of CW on a newspaper. You basically would have 30 CW per article.

        I think this is way overcompensating. There is a difference between putting generally disturbing content being a CW and putting anything remotely upsetting behind a CW. The latter is an overcompensation that leads to people avoiding any chance of being uncomfortable.

      Idk dude there’s some songs that remind me of the past that I don’t want to hear anymore, but you know what I don’t do? Make that everyone else’s problem by demanding a content warning or any such nonsense if there’s a possibility the song will be played. What I do is fast forward or go to the bathroom for 3m20s, or just sit there and ignore it.

      I could get behind it if there’s a full on rape scene or something, like CW A Serbian Film for sure, but My Little Goddamn Pony? At some point it becomes your responsibility to deal with your own triggers, not the world’s responsibility to manage them for you (and coincidentally that’s what most therapists say as well.)
