I'm sorry for necromancing, but coming back to this sub (I saw it a few years ago, probably, when it seemed like the only thing here was a few memes saying "There are others!"), it's quite hard to take anything seriously when people are literally saying they're being triggered by talking about sounds. I know how seriously triggers are taken in many cases, I used to suffer from panic attacks ('used to' is arguable), and I understand just how awful it [triggers] can be, but on a sub dedicated to discussion about auditory triggers, it really doesn't need to be said that almost everything will have 'triggers' in it (and I really can't see why textual things are 'triggers' for auditory responses, I could understand completely if someone posted, say, a video I've seen of someone eating crisps loudly, and they then decided to record sounds of someone eating and blast them at the crisp-eater every time they tried to eat (it goes without saying that the whole video was a series of triggers.)

The same way some subs are, by default, NSFW, and it's just assumed you can come across NSFW content, the sub should really have less restrictions on [Trigger Warning]s, and they should be saved for cases with actual triggers (auditory &c), rather than mentions of triggers (mention of the trigger should not be regarded as the trigger itself. You don't see a trigger warning when someone's talking about how they were triggered by x [i.e. someone talking about how came across a rape trigger] unless there's actually triggering content.)

If the [Trigger Warning] tag were reserved for actual (i.e. auditory in many cases) triggers, it would be much easier to take the tag seriously. As it is now, almost everything is a trigger, and while I can see why you might want to make it that way, it's distracting from the content, and almost never helpful when it's diluted so heavily.

A flair system, something simple, with a bright red or orange [TW] flair, would be a much easier, and less distracting way of keeping the trigger warnings there, if people find them necessary.
