Psychologist goes through a meta-analysis that’s been done about the efficacy of trigger warnings. Seems like they have a bit of an axe to grind about their… horror writing career(?) but thought it was interesting. Thoughts?

    The specific ads at 1:40 makes me lose trust in whatever this person has to say, just more grindset bullshit

    EDIT: The way I understand the studies, they still force people to encounter the triggering material, where the purpose of the warning is to give you an option to avoid it.

      Ya but it’s not like she did the meta analysis, she’s just regurgitating it. I don’t know this person, was just served it by the algo
