a moment of silence for the guy in my lit class who responded to my professor saying “trigger warning” by shouting “TRIGGERED! I’M TRIGGERED!” and then said it 2 more times after nobody acknowledged him, each time a little quieter. he walked out of the class okay but there’s no telling what a self-own like that does to a man’s spirit

I saw some people in the notes asking why a professor would say trigger warning and all I can think about is how people think “Tumblr” just makes up words and phrases for fun.

I’ve been back to my university for only one week and all my professors have already used to phrases “trigger/ed/ing/warning” “discourse”, etc in serious academic settings. These are the phrases that people LOVE to call Tumblr terms, but they are actually academic terms (which btw are being used correctly on this website) that have existed for MANY MANY years.
