WCDT: 2465-2469 (10-14 June, 2013) Weekly Comic Discussion Thread
Neko_Ali:
Different people experience phobia and triggering reactions differently. Just because some people can or learn to deal with their triggers doesn't mean it's the same for everyone else. And not equal between different triggers. When I was younger I had a bad phobia of the undead. Zombies, skeletons that sort of thing. Yes, it's ridiculous but I still had it. Through forced exposure to it I was eventually over to overcome that phobia. I also have phobias of being randomly attacked, raped or incarcerated. Sometimes panic attacks on those issues keep me from leaving my house for days. And I doubt I will ever get over those issues.
Offering trigger warnings is not coddling anyway. It is giving someone fore warning of things that may or may not bother them. Then that person can choose whether or not to continue, instead of it just being sprung on them with little no no warning. This is being polite and conscious of other people's feelings, not nannying them.
Is it cold in here?:
I respect people who confront phobias but they shouldn't be forced into it.
It is only right to get people's consent before having sex with them or putting them into a psychological emergency.
Masterpiece:
There WAS a trigger warning. Jephzibah didn't name this strip "Arachnaphobes should skip this one" for nothing.
As for my stance towards trigger warnings, you're reading a comic called "questionable content"... :psyduck:

--- End quote ---
I shall call him Webby and he shall be mine, and he shall be my Webby! Come here Webby! Come here widdle Webby Come her-ow! Bad Webby!
Midwesterner:
I love Dora's look the past couple strips. You could even say she's a-Dora-ble.
