Jonah Goldberg explains "trigger warnings" for those needing to know what to mock.
Before I continue, I should explain what a "trigger warning" is.
They started on left-wing and feminist websites. Like a "spoiler alert" in a movie review or a more specific version of the movie rating system, trigger warnings are intended to alert very sensitive people that some content might set off, or trigger, their post-traumatic stress disorder or simply deeply offend some people. According to most accounts, this was a conscientious accommodation of people who'd been raped or otherwise horribly abused.
But soon the practice metastasized. Trigger warnings were provided for an ever-increasing, and ridiculous, list of "triggers."
These warnings have triggered great mockery among conservatives.
Thanks for the entertainment.
