( No Title )
You are very welcome. When it was published a lot of people here on Tumblr thought that I was making fun of Trigger Warnings (I wasn’t). I wanted to talk about what they were for and how they specifically helped or hindered fiction. Interestingly, I think the conversation over the last eight years has become more nuanced, as people have started to realize there are places where trigger warnings are absolutely appropriate and places where they aren’t, and that there is a lot of disagreement about whether they do any good in an academic context (this New Yorker article is a pretty good summary of the contemporary opinions and evidence). Mostly what I wanted was for people to think and to talk, and I’m so happy that they did. Enjoy the stories.
