The Complex Conundrum of Trigger Warnings: Balancing Safety and Freedom

From the beginning of the article, the author describes her personal triggers. She details a trigger for each of her senses in different scenarios. She references the Telecommunications Act of 1996 that required programs to provide ratings about the content being aired as a way to protect children from inappropriate content (Gay). She goes on to reference Joanne Cantor’s “Ratings and Advisories: Implications for the New Ratings System for Television,” which showed that children have a stronger desire to watch content that they know is not made for them (Gay). This brought into question the effectiveness of television ratings as a means to protect children. She states, “even children want a taste of forbidden fruit,” (Gay). She compares this notion of television safety to trigger warnings across the internet that are supposed to protect the reader from sensitive content. So the question becomes, are trigger warnings truly a safety measure? Do trigger warnings give the reader the power to remain safe from reliving a bad experience, or is it a free pass to avoid dealing with those negative emotions? This is important because the author began the article in the voice of a victim, and yet feels censored, or victimized, in ways by trigger warnings. Even with these feelings, the author understands that not everyone has access to resources such as therapy, and that there is no one size fits all to what is appropriate for dealing with triggers.
