"Offended because of a warning that content may offend. A snowflake calling someone a snowflake " Well that's all it ever is, isn't it. TV: "hey this sitcom episode is about a death in the family" Someone with a recently deceased relative: "oh thanks I would rather avoid that at the moment" In this thread: "no you must suffer like we did, what the fuck" | |||

"Can you imagine Little Britain getting away with half their sketches now? No amount of trigger warnings in the world could prepare the ❄️ for that!" 🤣🤣 Though tbf Little Britain does look pretty awful now while Father Ted and IT Crowd are still classics. | |||

"Try watching The Young Ones on Iplayer. That's hardly anything left of it. " This is different from trigger warnings, and while it annoys me it also underlines why it's worth buying things you like instead of relying on streaming - if the TV companies don't want to be associated with something they'll just cut it out, and they're a private business, so they can. Trigger warnings are just a few seconds at the beginning of a show, they affect nobody except those who find the warnings helpful, and whiney little babies who can't stand the idea that the TV companies might be thinking of anyone else except them. Genuine "replacing the stairs with a ramp has RUINED my LIFE I can't BELIEVE this WOKE NONSENSE" energy. | |||

"Can you imagine Little Britain getting away with half their sketches now? No amount of trigger warnings in the world could prepare the ❄️ for that!" Walliams and Lucas’s racism was truly unrivalled. I actually think Black face in their comedy is a reminder of how recently people thought that was funny. | |||

"What do they warn you about? Love the shows but not watched them since those warnings were in place." There's an episode where he pulls his eyes back and pretends to be a Chinese man, played for laughs. Instead of cutting it out, at the beginning of the episode they display the warning: "This episode was made in 1998 and contains language and racial impersonation which some viewers may find offensive" So far as I know that's the only episode with the warning. | |||

Not hate, it’s just amusement by some youngsters behaviour and attitudes. youngsters see everything that doesn’t confirm their position as hate.
No tbf I usually only see it as hate if it’s giving hate but I’m not young so
That’s a young un’s hair do Rick, no doubt about it!"Sounds like a reference I’m too old to get. Damn. | |||

I'd much rather do that be happy than stuck in my ways and bitter giving "old man yells at cloud" energy 🤷♂️ See, its the attributing “energy” to a made up idiom that doesn’t help your cause here Joe. But attributing the trigger warnings (point of the thread, remember) to perceived "snowflakes" is completely ok? I didn’t call anyone a snowflake, or even infer such a thing. please remember that! My position was that they didn’t bother me. I’m more amused by the stance people take when others here have questioned the need for them.

Why are you so wound up that times have changed change with them. You’ll have more peace 😂🤣
Is peace the answer to perceived nonsense? that’s the real question.
It can be because realistically what else are they gonna do about it? Complain on the Internet? Oh wait...
Well it does make content for a forum.
Sharing different opinions is so 1998 though. Us oldies must adapt to new times ! 🐑
Yes, I think we must. No-one gets to decide when the world stops turning.
"But because time does not stop, there is never a point at which any opinion, fashion, social more is fixed. Which is why holding different opinions on change is important, because nothing dates quicker than today. Genuinely young people (under 20s) are already mocking many of the strongest held pieties of Gen Z and much of that generation's world view will age like milk on the carpet, as those of my (our ?) generation did.

"Should there be warnings at the front of comedy shows of yesteryear saying ‘caution, this show may make you laugh at things you have been told by others you should not laugh at’.

Just going with the flow usually gets you washed away pretty quickly."Not sure anyone would disagree that a spectrum of opinions is important. Nothing is fixed, but I do think certain changes should be banked, which is why I gave the example of norms of dress. Things which seem really normal to us, but would have outraged previous generations. I'm not sure if it's "going with the flow" or just accepting that society and expectations evolve, normally for the better (I'm struggling to think of a societal change in my lifetime I'd reverse). Some of the reactions I see today are just old(er) people grumbling because things aren't *exactly* as they were in the "good old days" (whenever they were), which feels a bit myopic, but it's their choice. | |||

"If you're easily offended, you're easily manipulated. Trigger warnings are fine, it might bring about a conversation as to why something is (for lack of a better term) problematic. People are all to ready to censor which in my opinion is worse. Context and nuance is missing from a lot of our conversations these days. I remember when the Little House on the Prairie books were removed from some digital book stores because of "racially charged language", they're set in Kansas between 1874-1875 sl*very had only ended 10 years before that, I'd be more surprised if there weren't any." When all the reminders of tyranny are gone, tyranny will be allowed to grow unchecked. We need reminding of how evil humans can actually be if left un-checked.. | |||

"I think it shows responsibility on the part of the media who choose to offer trigger warnings. Depending on the content of the show people can then choose to watch it or not. Times change, this is one of them, not the world going mad or being 'snowflakes'. Some people have experienced incredibly difficult trauma and if trigger warnings help even just one person in some way then I'm all for it. " 100%. It may not protect me, but it may protect someone else from trauma. The net effect on me is zero. On someone who may have been traumatised because of the content, the net effect can be considerable. I am not inconvenienced by something which does not impact me, but can help someone else. I'm rather pleased for them, to be honest. | |||

"Offended because of a warning that content may offend. A snowflake calling someone a snowflake I hope you always have someone to hold your hand when you cross the road - they are very dangerous places." What the fuck are you talking about? I am making a comment about people being offended about a warning that content may cause offence | |||

" New BBC Chanel just for the the snowflakes ? And leave the rest of us alone. " Snowflake! Yet there you are, seemingly offended about a situation you have just invented | |||

"In 2023 a meta analysis of studies into trigger warnings was published in a leading psychology journal." I've actually read that meta-analysis and it really missed the point of trigger warnings. Trigger warnings aren't a mental health tool, they're an agency tool. They're a component of the modern consent culture - "this has x in it, do you want to watch x". That's why they're vilified by people who would like to return to low/no consent cultural practices, either because they think that removing consent practices makes you more resilient or because they just don't like the precedent that people are entitled to withdraw consent. That's why we're having this conversation right now, and why we seem to be having all of these eerily similar conversations. It's liberal ideas vs conservative dogma, over and over. A "culture war", if you will. That's all it ever is. | |||

"If Russia invade the rest of Europe and HM Government call all under the age of 45 to fight the guessing the triggered won't turn out to defend this country on the grounds that they might be triggered.. Those who do not turn up should be allowed to claim to benefits " That’s one hell of a whataboutery point | |||

" You totally missed the point, you can agree/adhere to conscription and also favour trigger warnings. They are totally unrelated. | |||

"But if you are triggered by a bit of TV you are more likely to refuse to join the army when your country needs you. It's common sense surely" I don't think your shoe horn is working properly. Evie | |||

"Can you imagine Little Britain getting away with half their sketches now? No amount of trigger warnings in the world could prepare the ❄️ for that! Walliams and Lucas’s racism was truly unrivalled. I actually think Black face in their comedy is a reminder of how recently people thought that was funny. " And out around the same time as the Wayans brothers movie White Chicks | |||

"Surely those who require trigger warnings should never watch any TV" ‘This programme contains scenes of sexual assault’ ‘I’ve been a victim of that, I’d rather not watch’ *throws tv out the window* | |||

"Surely those who require trigger warnings should never watch any TV" Surely those so triggered by trigger warnings should never watch any TV. It's literally just words that allow someone to decide if the content is for them or not. Why is that so terrible? Evie | |||

"Trigger warnings are OTT - and actually studies have found that adding them makes people more likely to be offended vs not having them at all. Worse trigger warning I’ve seen was for the movie “Blink Twice” where the warning spoiled the whole plot twist of the movie." *worst | |||

"When Daniel Sloss did X, that show was always shown with a trigger warning. There were more complaints about there being a trigger warning than there were about the content. As someone who does have trauma associated with that particular trigger warning, I appreciate it. It doesn't stop me from watching something ever. I heartily recommend the show to absolutely everyone, including other survivors when they're through the worst of the process. (It's free to stream on his website currently.) But the warning allows me to make sure I'm in the right frame of mind, I can come back and watch it when I'm ready rather than being surprised by it in a vulnerable moment. When you're still in the middle of dealing with the police and direct aftermath, you certainly don't want to suddenly be struck by that while just trying to relax and be entertained. Some days it's just not what you want to deal with. If I want something light and fluffy and a trigger warning comes up for something that is going to bring my mood down when I'm actively looking for something soft. Why is providing information so people can make informed choices such a bad thing? Why do people care so much about a few words on a screen for a matter of seconds that can make other people's lives easier? Given how much screen time is taken up with advertising, credits, themes and intros. Why are trigger warning so very offensive to so many people? 💜" Who said they are offensive? I don't like them because they are intrusive, unnecessary for adults who can make their own decisions, and research suggests ineffective. Not liking or not agreeing with something doesn't mean you find it offensive. | |||
