I understand the idea of shielding people from content that would be upsetting, but my own experience is, that I feel a little anxious as soon as I read Trigger Warning […].
How is your experience with it? Are you happy with it, or do you thing there are better ways to address dark topics?
There is a study that showed empirically that reducing the media coverage (and strictly avoiding coverage of methods and some other aspects) of suicides reduced the rates of suicide in the affected populations.
So there’s science behind the avoidance.
IMHO the media do seem fairly clumsy going about it though.
