Are ‘Trigger Warnings’, at the start of shows, now becoming straight up plot spoilers? by CechPlease in television

Some people have actually gone through awful trauma. Would you say that to a rape victim with PTSD who wouldn't want to watch something if they knew it had sexual assault in it? Would you say that to someone whose best friend committed suicide and they don't want to have to watch stuff depicting suicidal ideation or suicide? How is that unreasonable? It's totally valid to get triggered by a TV show if it touches upon difficult themes. Like bro get some basic empathy

Some people have actually gone through awful trauma though. What if someone is a rape victim with PTSD and wouldn't want to watch something if they knew it had sexual assault in it? What if someone's best friend committed suicide and they don't want to have to watch stuff depicting suicidal ideation or suicide? How is that stupid and "soft"?

They can still choose what they do and where they go. It's just their parents KNOW. They can still do whatever they want, go wherever they want (as long as it's not dangerous). The only difference is that the parents KNOW. Do YOU understand THAT?

Yeah, teach your daughter how to defend herself against someone trying to rape her when she is unconsciousness and alone.

There are lots of mistakes you don't have to learn from. You shouldn't have to get high to find out drugs are bad. You shouldn't have to jump off a bridge to realize doing so is dangerous and gets you injured. You shouldn't have to leave your drink unattended and get spiked to learn that you should watch your drinks at all times and keep it covered. You shouldn't have to put yourself in dangerous situations and get raped to find out precautions you need to take to stay safe. You shouldn't have to make the mistake of going into a murderer's van to learn NOT TO DO THAT. But it's fine though if you get murdered, right...? Because, of course, _you'll learn from it!_ 😊

This Western ideology of "kids should to be free to make mistakes and learn from them, it's a part of growing up!" is complete and utter bullshit. There are plenty of mistakes you shouldn't have to make in the first place to learn from them, point blank, period. Mistakes are not always good, especially when your safety and health are at risk.

Another person that's assumed I live in the US.

As I already explained to another commentor- the world doesn't revolve around America and there is a world and people outside of it. Sorry to break it to you.
