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?

“trigger warnings don’t work” is a blatantly impossible statement, their purpose is to prevent people from being exposed to further content that triggers trauma or other mental health issues, the only way they wouldn’t work is if people were copy pasting the entire contents of what they’re doing a warning about into the warning itself
Yeah that’s how I understood the studies, they force you to ignore the warning
Apparently the study counted people dropping out of the study as choosing not to view the content, and used the what would obviously be low amount of dropouts as “proof” that it doesn’t prevent people from viewing it
The study seems to imply that the trigger warning itself is triggering
Which is false if you’ve ever had a serious trigger, it’s specifics that get you
