Abstract

The author presents her thoughts on trigger warnings (TW), or disclaimers that content found within images, mass media, or literature could be found offensive or disturbing. She argues against the suggestion that any form of media can be a trigger, stating that there is a difference between an act and its representation and to argue otherwise diminishes the actual trauma.
